Maurice Harnsberry – If you slept on the Smino show in Seattle last month let this serve as a heads up: get familiar with this artist and check him out next time he rolls through. The Saint Louis–born, Chicago-based MC stopped by the Showbox Sodo April 4 on his “Hoopti Tour” and delivered a phenomenal show. He’s the type of performer that thrives off the vibe of the crowd, which on this evening was fun and energetic.
Aarin Wright – The threat of snow would not obstruct Seattle from an Y La Bamba performance again. After rescheduling the original Feb. 10 date due to Snowmageddon 2019, a parka-clad crowd braved the cold to cram into a sold out Tractor Tavern on Wednesday, Mar. 6.
Eric Tra – Once in a while you stumble across music that has certain infectious qualities. The kind that completely take over your body until you are possessed by the beat. Before you know it, you’re on the dance floor performing moves you never knew you had. It’s music like this that turn even the most steadfast wallflowers into dancing kings and queens before the opening track even finishes.
Eric Tra – L.A. rock trio Cherry Glazerr delivered a rocking performance to a sold out crowd at Neumos in Seattle on March 7. Their set included a heavy serving of the band’s latest album Stuffed and Ready as well as some O.G. Cherry Glazerr classics such as the dreamy, psych rock tracks “Teenage Girl” and “Grilled Cheese.”
Victoria Holt – A dreamy, billowing white-fabric-clad stage was bathed in light Friday night at the Paramount, as the opening sleepy synths of “Send to Robyn Immediately” hummed into life. The band laid the foundations of the hypnotic beat as Swedish singer and producer Robyn’s vocals sounded from somewhere offstage.
