 Seattle Jazz Fellowship with Jovino Santos Neto

A visual artist and painter as well as an unconventional, self-taught songwriter and musician, everything that fuels the creative output of Manchester’s Xenya Genovese, AKA Freak Slug, is about raw, authentic, sometimes weird but always totally true self-expression. She’s not one to sugar coat things; “I’m a lot, so it’s a lot to show who I am because some people might not like it,” she accepts. But in amongst the mix of an introverted extrovert, self described “avoidant” Leo rising, lives the sort of musician who can do nostalgic, ‘90s influenced and dreamy as well as eccentric and experimental. Down there, picking through the curious mix of sounds and feelings, lives Freak Slug.Having moved from Manchester to London to study Fine Art at university, Genovese thought her path was already set. “I’ve been doing art since I was young. It’s been quite a surprise for me, doing this whole music thing…” she says. In some ways, the pivot to musician did sneak up on her. Where art was her career (or so she thought), from the age of 15 writing songs had just been a hobby; an outlet where she could see where her mind went with no external expectations. “From about 18, I was making music alone - experimental, fuzzy, lo-fi stuff; embracing mistakes and recording through my Mac mic. I was inspired by unique sounds and music with loads of imperfections,” she remembers. “It wasn’t what I thought I’d be doing so I was just going with the flow. Having fun was my inspiration, and seeing what I liked.”

Linda From Work is a fierce rock band hailing from Seattle, led by Hillary Tusick (vocals/guitar) and featuring Elliott Gregory (guitar), Shayla Riday (bass) &amp; Sam Nowak (drums). Meeting at the intersection of garage, glam and dance-punk, Linda From Work has crafted a high-energy sound built on powerhouse vocals and driving melodies that can only be described as rock and roll, baby! With a defiant and forceful spirit, Linda From Work’s sophomore album "The Night Is Short" delivers an emotional rock spectrum of bold vocal melodies punctuated with driving guitars and an energetic backbeat. Steeped in feelings of righteous anger, inescapable anxiety, and deep longing, "The Night Is Short" is a cathartic display of the moments long after the sun sets. Martin Douglas of KEXP writes “‘Jealous” is easily one of the best rock songs to come out of Seattle this year, and frontwoman Hillary Tusick remains virtually unchallenged as one of the city’s best rock singers.”

35th North "Westlake" Converse One Starrs Event Premiere

This October at Baba Yaga, step into a world where fairytales, folklore, and dark fantasies intertwine in its debut group art show Once Upon a Midnight. Inspired by the bar's namesake herself, Baba Yaga, the mysterious old witch of Slavic lore who blurs the line between malevolent and magical, these artists take us on a journey through equally whimsical and dark worlds.With influences ranging from the sinister enchantment of the Brothers Grimm and the gothic tales of Edgar Allan Poe to the surreal, mind-bending narratives of The Twilight Zone, the artists in this show dive deep into the world of lore and legend. Expect to encounter familiar characters and plots, but with a twist that leads you down paths less traveled—into forests darker, castles more haunted, and endings far from the expected. Whether it’s a new interpretation of a timeless tale or an entirely original story crafted from the artist’s own imagination, Once Upon a Midnight invites you to enter a realm where the extraordinary is ordinary, and every piece of art tells a story that could only exist in the space between midnight and dawn.Featuring art by: Anouk Rawkson, Brandon Vosika, Coco Spadoni, Esra Guler, Ian “Bub” Davis, Jordan Christianson, Kerstin Graudins, Lauren Max, Sanoe Stevenson-Egeland, Warren Pope and more to be announced soon.

Mega Cat&nbsp;In the summer of 2020, Aaron Benson (drums, percussion, guitar) and his wife Emily began hosting weekly bonfires at their home. Keyboardist Kim West and her husband Ryan Devlin (bass and guitar) were in regular attendance, along with a handful of neighbors and friends. It was the era of lockdown and social distancing, and the Benson bonfires became a sanctuary of connection. The tradition lasted until autumn’s arrival and the notorious Seattle rain that came with it.With the skies darkening, Aaron asked Kim and Ryan if they’d care to come into his home studio, Mad Val, and hear some of the great drum sounds he was getting. This first spark inspired the three musicians to join forces and jam: Kim on her electric piano and synthesizer, Ryan on bass, and Aaron on kit and running tape op. With no direction other than the joy of making music, they played for hours on end. The compositions came naturally, and with the liberty of no expectations, the trio found themselves combining sounds, genres, and textures in surprising ways. The first session was labeled “KRA 1,” for Kim, Ryan, and Aaron.Night HeronThe record is called “Instructions for Night.” And by the end of the first track on Night Heron’s debut, the listener knows who these instructions are for. They’re for those of us awake against our will: tossing in bed after a terrible fight, pacing the hallways of new parenthood, stricken with fear of unemployment or a bad test result. These instructions are for a person (or in the case of 2020, perhaps an entire population), so dislocated by circumstance they no longer make a meaningful distinction between night and day. There is only more or less light.But what, exactly, are the instructions? They are whispery, and multiple, and mainly tell us what not to do. “Stop crying / Go back to sleep” they tell us. (Sleeping Boy). They remind us that “martyrdom's been done before” (Dreamz). And lest we be tempted to seek solace in a device: we gaze into “1000 mirrors” but there is only “one reflection.” And then, with soft insistence: “No one is looking at you / No one is looking at you. / No one is looking at you.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
