Hi there,
Having an artful Autumn so far?  We've had the honor to host some truly beautiful concerts and events lately here in Seattle.  Did you catch Esme Patterson or Haley Heynderickx for example?  Wow. See below for more up & coming artists.  

[In other fun news, in September we just broke our own record for the most tickets sold in a year! Big thanks to everyone who's supporting live music around town.] 

So while we host a lot of unique shows, we boost a ton of nonprofits, and we showcase incredible new bands, our CATHEDRALS series is definitely one not to miss. So we're here with a bonus email newsletter to make sure you heard about what's happening this weekend. 

First up - November 2nd, CATHEDRALS XXIII features LeRoy Bell (with a string ensemble!), Clinton Fearon (solo acoustic), Whitney Monge (see her article in Seattle Times?), Sarah Clarke (of Dirty Revival PDX), and Wanz (remember Macklemore's Thrift Shop song?). This concert is guest curated by Terry Morgan and Whitney Monge. 

Saturday is Laura Gibson (album release with band/strings), Horse Feathers (PDX), and Takenobu (ATL) for CATHEDRALS XXIV

+ Last in the series this year, The Gundersen Family perform for CATHEDRALS XXV  on December 22nd (these always sell out!).  Check out the incredible youtube video of the Gundersens siblings at our very first concert at St Mark's way back in 2011. 

{ Series pass available for all 3 shows! }

p.s. These events now start at 7:30 so get there early with your quiet picnics or check out our new Membership concert pass that includes reserved seats, cheap drinks, and more!

p.s.s. Check out our Arts Connect ticket program for veterans, low income families, and many nonprofit workers.

“Laura Gibson made her name in music's eerily quiet places, through creaky whispers and dusty, inward-facing laments. She's always sung with deep restraint and deeper warmth, all the better to draw you in and compel you to don headphones and drown out the world. But she's also grown bolder as she's transformed from lone acoustic singer-songwriter to full-blown bandleader, while taking on worldlier themes and ever-grander instrumentation.” —NPR

“Local singer-songwriter LeRoy Bell has risen through the ranks of the Seattle music scene with his smoky voice and command of rock, blues, and soul.” —The Stranger

Whitney Mongé: “A former busker who started with seven cover songs and a lot of guts, a woman who writes emotional songs for people who listen to the words, a role model for young brown girls who want to play music... — might just be Seattle’s next big star.” -Bill Reader, The Seattle Times

“I write from my heart. The world is full of inspirations…nature, people, politics, love. I write about them all. My music is good for the soul—always with a message of hope and betterment for tomorrow. It’s good for dancing, good for listening, and I think it’s good for all.” — Clinton Fearon
 

“Horse Feathers' music has always revolved around specific, distinctive ingredients, from Justin Ringle's sandy-voiced warmth to lush string arrangements to fatalistic lyrics that undercut the surrounding swirl of sonic comfort food. The group has served as a living embodiment of beardy Pacific Northwest folk-pop, a style it's consistently elevated through the uncommon beauty of its songs.” — NPR

Takénobu has been a touring member of Kishi Bashi and is a composer for NPR's Invisibilia, Last Chance U, and 42 Grams by Jack Newell about Michelin star chef Jake Bickelhaupt available on Netflix.

"Seeing Takénobu live is a visceral experience, as his skilled cello playing integrated with his smooth vocals take the listener to another place." — Kevin Triebsch, AXS.com
