Lindsey Potter – There are many things that define what it means to be a millennial, but “laziness” leads the list when it comes to stereotypes made about my generation. This ran through my mind as Taylar Parx emerged alone on the brightly lit Showbox Sodo stage on April 28.
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.
Caroline Anne – “Whatever & Ever” is the latest single from NRVS LVRS, the San Francisco based, electronic pop duo made of real-life wife and husband Bevin Fernandez (keyboards, synth, vocals) and Andrew Gomez (guitar, vocals). Formed in 2014, NRVS LVRS curate from a diversity of genres on each album that are mesmerizing, inspiring and entertaining.
Andy Bookwalter – Danny Newcomb lives on a tiny island, surrounded by sheep and millions of bees (he’s a farmer, they’re not after him). Once a year or so he puts down his bee and sheep stuff, summons the Sugarmakers, and spits out a really good record.
Maurice Harnsberry – NoName’s sold-out performance at the Showxox on date was phenomenal. The crowd sang along, word-for-word, as she performed songs from her Room 25 and Telefone albums. The vibe was so good she even stopped rapping a couple of times so she could hear the crowd perform.
