You could probably be forgiven if the first time you thought of Seattle as having a vibrant music scene was when MTV first aired “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Thanks to an engrossing new documentary from first time feature director Jennifer Maas called Wheedle’s Groove that just played at the Seattle International Film Festival, you learn […]
