Simple melodies with uncomplicated mono-syllabic lyrics are what come to mind with the term "children's music." However, Spectratone International evidently had a different idea when they created music for the Seattle International Children's Festival. The quartet, led by prolific cellist Lori Goldston, composed a 12-song set to perform at the festival which showcased their talents […]
Ever since that one time last year when a friend from out of town recommended an all-ages show at the Croc, I was just about the oldest person there by about 15 years (and that was just after I turned 27 – not a good feeling), I've been hesitant to recommend anything from the Seattle […]
Just a friendly imaginary reminder: if you're heading to the Vera Project tonight, local band S is no longer on the bill (they had to cancel because of a family emergency). But the show is going on, and the line-up is still stellar: Panda & Angel Ferocious Eagle Wet Confetti The show costs $7 ($6 […]

Liz and I missed the Hot Hot Heat 21+ show at Graceland last week for the Cutest Band in Seattle contest. This meant I was headed to my first Vera Project (all-ages) show in order to see them. Sadly, Liz — who LOVES Hot Hot Heat, who has endlessly played Make Up the Break Down […]

I arrived to my first Vera Project show to a hella-line on a barely post-frigid night. After queueing for 45 minutes outside, I entered the showroom with no expectations beyond warmth.
