That little guy from the Sun has plans to land in Seattle on the national tour of his all-new, out-of-this-world, multimedia show! Gustafer Yellowgold's Infinity Sock will come to Town Hall Seattle, 1119 Eighth Ave., Seattle, WA for two performances on Saturday, May 7, at 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

Groovy Gustafer Yellowgold is a small, yellow, cone-headed fellow, who came to Earth from the Sun and has a knack for finding himself neck-deep in absurd situations as he explores his new life in the Minnesota woods. Illustrator/songwriter/musicIan Morgan Taylor developed the "musical moving book" Gustafer Yellowgold experience as equal parts pop rock concert and animated storybook.

Gustafer Yellowgold's Infinity Sock is the first Gustafer Yellowgold show to have a storyline, which follows our hero as he embarks upon an hilarious, mind-bending musical journey in search of the toe-end of the longest sock in the universe. Gustafer learns much along the way, as he encounters a Band of Bees performing at their late night hangout in the chime-and-timpani drama of "Beehive," joins in the Broadway romp "Wisconsin Poncho" (set in an all-cheese clothing store), and comes upon a pterodactyl's unusually calm cat in the Fleetwood Mac lushness of "Cheddar," all the while learning that everyone has a use for The Sock. The Bacharach-esque "Sock Of Ages" brings the show to an uplifting close, providing Gustafer and friends with a one-of-a-kind look at the interconnectivity among all life on Earth.

Since his creation in 2005, Gustafer Yellowgold has become an international phenomenon, praised by Newsweek as "full of great pop tunes and hand-drawn animation about a li'l fella from the sun." The Los Angeles Times enthused, "Taylor's whimsical, lightly psychedelic world forms an interesting bridge between adult and kids' music." The Washington Post declared, "He's a star on stage and screen! ... The mix of catchy tunes and offbeat stories has endeared Taylor, and Gustafer, to teenagers as well." The Chicago Tribune wrote, "Gustafer Yellowgold has made kids' music so cool that teenagers and ultra-hip bands such as Wilco want to get in on the act ... a shiny blend of pop art and pop tunes." New York Magazine named Morgan Taylor "Best Kids' Performer," calling Taylor "the most original performer on the family-music scene today."

Gustafer is not just for kids! Possessing an unusual crossover appeal, Gustafer Yellowgold's Show has performed as the support act for WILCO and The Polyphonic Spree, as well as headlining kids' venues all across the U.S., in London, and even in Seoul, Korea. Gustafer has been seen at off-Broadway's DR2 Theatre in his own productions of Gustafer Yellowgold's Mellow Sensation and Gustafer Yellowgold's Infinity Sock.
