Naked City Brewery is a passionate supporter of arts and culture. Oftentimes its hand-crafted beers are inspired by a song, film, or person. Every beer tells a story, and each one ferments in its own time.

The Screening Room is Naked City's dining movie theater, featuring a New American comfort food menu with vegetarian and gluten-free options alongside award-winning craft beers, wines, and ciders.

Tomo Nakayama is a Seattle-based singer and multi-instrumentalist. His pure, orchestral song-writing and voice have garnered international acclaim in his years performing as part of the band Grand Hallway. Nakayama also had a star turn in Lynn Shelton's indie film Touchy Feely as a "love-struck barista-musician" (NY Times) in 2013. Nakayama's solo album Fog on the Lens was released in 2014.

Bryan John Appleby is a singer/songwriter and composer living in Seattle, WA. His newest full-length release The Narrow Valley, crafted with Seattle producer Sam Anderson, deals with the sun-bleached landscape of his youth – a dreamy, densely constructed cinematic world more musically tied to the maximalist West Coast pop traditions of outsider California composers like Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson than to the folk roots of Appleby’s early work.
