The Pazific creates tropical movement music with a latin psychedelic twist for people looking to feel so free they can’t help but let loose. When our music comes on you’ll be dancing before you know it, transported to a place of joy where you can connect with those around you.

The 8-piece band is led by Seattle-based duo Alex and Jefferson Rose. Their music pays homage to Alex's Mexican heritage and California upbringing, and Jefferson's time living and making music in Latin America and Spain.

The artists performing are:
Alex Rose - Vocals
Jeferson Rose - Bass and vocals
Raoul Hardin - Drums
Danny Mendoza - Percussion
Matt Clough - Guitar
Jane Covert-Bowlds - Sax
Graham Cornwell - Trumpet
Brandon Hunter - Trombone

Artists At the Center is a multi-year collaboration between Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and Seattle Center, with support from Uptown Arts & Culture Coalition and the communities adjacent to Seattle Center campus. The project is made possible by a 10-year grant from Climate Pledge Arena and Seattle Kraken.

Join us as we introduce emerging and established artists and celebrate their talent on a newly revitalized Seattle Center campus. Artists are given a performance opportunity, allowing them to connect with new audiences, display their talents and advance their careers. Visitors to campus and the surrounding neighborhood benefit from surprising and delightful pop-up performances throughout the year. Each year, artists are selected with an equity and social justice lens, ensuring equitable representation for underserved and emerging artists. Artistic genres include music, dance, theater, demonstrations, and multi-disciplinary work.
