Karl Blau’s live show is unassuming, sometimes off-putting to audience members who don’t quite know what he’s about, gorgeous, and altogether swoon-worthy.  It is no coincidence that Karl Blau has been a member of, and has performed with, some of my most favorite bands: Your Heart Breaks, D+, Mount Eerie, and Laura Veirs are just some that come to mind immediately. One of my first indie rock loves was the KRecs/Knw-Yr-Own Anacortes/OlyWa scene and its members/musicians, leading to my discovery of Clothes Yr I’s soon after it was re-released on K Records in 2003. (The fourth track, “Thorns,” is pure heart-tugging greatness.)

You can soak up some of the goodness first-hand on Friday, January 28th at the Sunset Tavern, where Karl Blau will be taking the stage at the Sunset Tavern along with the likes of the always-delightful Pica Beats and the dreamy, layered-vocal sounds of The Soft Hills. And we’ve got a pair of tickets to give away!
