Glenn Smith – Marsalis, a Seattle 4-piece that’s a sound an even more emo, Radiohead-ish sound, won Northwest Music Scene’s reader’s poll award for “#1 Band of 2016.”
Glenn Smith – Record label and recording studio owner Eric Padget runs NoiseNoiseOuchStop Records, producing, releasing, and otherwise being a cool dude for bands in Seattle and along the West Coast.

Macefield, now in its fourth year, is an independently run music event that takes place each fall in various venues in Ballard. It’s a great mix of national, regional, and local talent performing in small and mid-sized spaces over three days for a mere $55.
