Music Notes

Hello! Below are three things happening in the town’s music scene that you might not be aware of. The point of this piece is brevity, so let’s jump right in!

***The 3rd Annual Pacific Northwest Songwriter’s Summit is Saturday from 1-9pm at the EMP and features a laundry list of stars talking about the craft. For example: a songwriting Panel featuring Tomo Nakayama, Shaprece, and Hey Marseilles with Jonathan Zwickel; a performance/interview with Marco Collins featuring the Grizzled Mighty; a recording Panel featuring Erik Blood, Jack Endino and Jeff Mcilwain with Jonathan Cunningham; another performance/interview with Marco Collins featuring Brandi Carlile; and a keynote presentation with Grammy-nominated artist (and Monarch favorite) Mary Lambert.

***KEXP 90.3 recently launched a new hour-long program called “Midnight in a Perfect World,” which is a weekly hour-long guest DJ mix show, airing every Friday at midnight. Ben Gibbard has hosted the set, along with a bunch of other DJ’s.

***KEXP also launched a new series of interviews and performances called “Immigrant Songs,” highlighting musicians who come out of “immigrant communities in the US.” Chimurenga Renaissance have been featured, along with Meklit Hadero. You can check it out here:
