Maurice Harnsberry – Rising alt R&B sensation Kali Uchis came to Seattle and tore the roof off of the Showbox SoDo last month. The fans went wild, singing word for word as she performed songs off her Isolation album like “After The Storm” and “Dead to Me.”
Maurice Harnsberry – Dom Kennedy is currently on his “Win or Lose” Tour and his stop in Seattle was a memorable one that saw the LA rapper perform classic tracks from The Yellow Album, 25th Hour Album, and much more. Watching him perform from the photo pit at a packed Neptune Theater was a cool experience.
Eric Tra – Once in a while a live show makes you feel things you never thought you could. Phoebe Bridgers’ and Julien Baker’s co-headlining performance featuring Lucy Dacus at the Moore Theatre was that show. The show featured 4 sets, one for each artist, and a very special encore performance by boygenius.
Jason Murray – Remove all the doors to the venue and the positive atmosphere still couldn’t have escaped the Showbox – SoDo during The Internet’s live performance last month. According to front-woman, Syd, Seattle is one of her favorite cities. Given the rowdy crowd that assembled for the show, which was part of the Los Angeles’ group’s Hive Mind Tour, I’m not surprised.
Stephanie Oster – Anyone who is even the smallest fan of electronic music, has Gary Numan to thank. He made synthesizers a household name with the incredible 1979 release, The Pleasure Principle, and he continually pushes the boundaries of instrumantation, composition, and live performance. His latest album, Savage, is a dark, dystopian, gothy, synthy pop treat.
