Seattle songwriter Debbie Miller is like a tantalizing book of short stories. Her music has been described as a masterclass in contrast: wit wrapped around melancholy, vulnerability laced with irony. She disarms with humor, then delivers the kind of emotional depth that lingers long after the song is over. Growing up in New York as a classically trained pianist, she dabbled in theater, a capella, and finally songwriting in her mid-twenties. Since landing in Seattle in 2010 she has had many musical feathers in her cap, but currently she is most proud and surprised by the fact she has become an avid birder. Accordingly, she is currently working on her second full-length studio album ‘Birder’ due out in 2027.
Amanda Winterhalter fronts a dark Americana band in Seattle, weaving together threads of traditional ballads, gritty indie Americana, and blues-tinged southern rock. Glide Magazine calls her latest release What’s This Death - “A courageous work of the aching soul that is equally stunning and thought-provoking. Winterhalter showcases head-turning vocals that makes for a fascinating Adele meets Wanda Jackson vocal stew.”
The "friends" are a Seattle super-group comprised of Amanda Winterhalter,Debbie Miller, Tomo Nakayama, Rebecca Young and Aimee Zoe. Plus secret special guests!

The Rabbit Box presents Warren Dunes + Litvar

Led by keyboardist/vocalist Julia Massey, Warren Dunes’ signature sound is highlighted by Massey’s double keyboards and crystalline voice soaring over chiming guitars and thundering drums from husband Jared Cortese and his brother Dominic Cortese.
A longtime Seattle favorite, Warren Dunes gained national attention following an in-studio performance on KEXP and widespread college radio airplay for their debut LP, Get Well Soon. Their most recent LP, Aquamarine, was voted one of KEXP listeners’ Top 50 Albums of 2024, and in 2026 Warren Dunes was one of ten Seattle bands honored by their peers with a Sonic Guild grant. Their new EP, The Cottage Sounds, Vol. 2: Warren Dunes - Growing Up, brings together collaborations recorded with artists and producers in Los Angeles and New York over the past two years. The collection takes its name from Cottage Sounds, the Los Angeles studio of producer Charles Newman, who mixed and co-arranged much of the EP and is releasing it through his label, Mother West.
Being Here, the third album from Litvar, is a record about endings and new beginnings. Inspired by the loss of frontman Rex Thurstan's father, these story-driven songs shine a light on the long climb from grief to restoration, filled with folksy sounds including the J-45 acoustic guitar that served as Thurstan's primary writing tool that expand beyond the band's critically-acclaimed indie rock sound. Caught halfway between the raw roots of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, the sonic experimentation of Wilco, and the electronic soundscapes of Brian Eno and Porter Robinson, Being Here casts the widest net of Litvar's career.
"It's a bare, stripped-back folk record," Thurstan says, "but it has a modern touch, too. You can't mistake it for old music, because the landscapes of each song are clearly contemporary."
Working with drummer and chief collaborator Joe Lemieux, he created those landscapes at home in Connecticut, reaching out to guitarist Violet Falkowski and bassist John Blues McCarthy to help fill the album with melody, mood, and recurring motifs. The result is an intimate album for late nights and early mornings, encompassing everything from the sonic sweep of "Yeah I Know" and "Waiting For Something," upbeat songs that could've appeared on the band's first two releases, to the bare-boned, jazz-inspired shuffle of "Backstab." Throughout it all, there's no mistaking the sorrow and struggle that inspired these tracks.

World Tour. Sold-out Enmore Theatre. Dream wedding on the horizon. 2025 was set to be the best year of Anthony Locascio’s life - then everything fell apart.
With his heart in ruins, desperation (and destiny) pushed him into a Vipassana meditation retreat.

Max Gomez
The Rabbit Box is excited to present Max Gomez
Max Gomez was born and raised in Taos, New Mexico, where he fell under the influence of country and blues singer-songwriters at an early age. After becoming a fixture in the New Mexico music scene, Gomez left home to pursue a broader horizon. His debut album, Rule the World (New West Records), earned critical acclaim and launched a touring career that has taken him coast to coast across the U.S., into Canada, and throughout Western Europe.
In August of last year, Gomez released Memory Mountain, produced by Mark Howard. The album debuted at #1 on the Alt-Country Radio Chart, further solidifying his reputation for timeless, resonant songwriting. His interim EP, Me and Joe, featuring the now-beloved track “Make It Me,” has surpassed five million streams on Spotify alone. Praised by Rolling Stone and No Depression as an emerging voice in Americana, Memory Mountain affirms that distinction with depth and charm.
Over the years, Gomez has shared the stage with artists across genres, including James McMurtry, Buddy Miller, John Hiatt, Patty Griffin, Tommy James & The Shondells, Jeff Beck, and Johnny Depp. Judging by the company he keeps—and the work he continues to create—Max Gomez remains one of Americana’s most compelling and authentic voices.

Griffin House is an American singer-songwriter and storyteller. Touring and making records for over 20 years, House has a discography that includes over 13 albums. His debut record “Lost and Found” (2004) was featured on CBS Sunday Morning by music critic and then VP MTV/VH1, Bill Flanagan, who named House one of the best emerging singer-songwriters of our time.
After forging a loyal fan base through years of grassroots touring as an opener for acts such as John Mellencamp and the Cranberries, House broke through as a national headliner in 2009 with an appearance on Late Night with Craig Ferguson and the release of his underground hit “The Guy That Says Goodbye to You is Out of His Mind.”
The music documentary “Rising Star,” released on Amazon Prime in 2019, chronicles House’s journey through the music business, as he attempts to balance the challenges of life as a traveling modern-day troubadour with marriage, fatherhood and sobriety.
House’s music has been featured on prime time television shows such One Tree Hill, Rescue Me, Party of Five, and Everwood, and reviewed in magazines such as Paste, No Depression and Rolling Stone. American Songwriter writes “if you want to be blown away by raw talent, look no further than Griffin House.” His latest release “The Tides” is a five song EP recorded with Grammy Award-winning producer Jacquire King and is set for release on Aug 29, 2023. House will appear this year at Sisters Folk Festival and will continue his US tour in 2023-2024.

“With lyrics covering everything from vigilante cryptids to bad trips in abandoned trailers, Adira Sharkey’s songwriting sets her apart in the Americana scene. Her low-slung voice lends itself perfectly to her raw, unfiltered storytelling, where her songs take audiences to the darker side of love, longing, and life’s misadventures. Like any unusual art, her voice isn’t for everyone, even inspiring one YouTube commenter to note “weird voice.” Still others are won over by Adira’s low rasp: “[she’s] like if Cher was country”, explained PNW folk pop favorite Izzy Burns. Often joined by an upright bass player, her rhythmic vocal arrangements and percussive finger picking is complemented with traditional roots music accompaniment, delivering a punchy alt-country sound. She’s honed a bluesy folk feel from years of playing shows up and down the west coast, and has recently had the distinct honor of opening for Grammy nominated artist Kelsey Waldon at Seattle’s Sunset Tavern. Her forthcoming debut album evokes a genre melting blend of Tom Waits and Patsy Cline, with just a pinch of Ani DiFranco. “
Warren Jackson Hearne is a nationally touring singer, multi-instrumentalist, and finger-style guitarist who writes original music blending Southern, folk, experimental, jazz, and blues. Hearne has spent decades refining a style that the Great Falls Tribune calls “one of the most original folk musicians working today."
Warren was born to exceptionally musical parents, Lindy and Lynda Hearne. The Hearnes started Warren on music early, enrolling him in piano lessons at age four, continuing musical training in Memphis playing drums while spending formative hours in the control room at Ardent Studios where his father recorded. Lynda relocated to Montana, and through Warren’s schooling in Missoula, he joined the marching band and eventually found the guitar. By fifth grade, he was playing violin, bass, clarinets, and saxes, leading him to begin composing his own songs at age 15.
The Dallas Observer noted that 'everything Warren Jackson Hearne touches turns to gold', frequently nominating his solo work, projects, and collaborators for awards. If folk music is defined as either a type of traditional music that is passed down through families or as Mike Seeger puts it “all the music that fits between the cracks,” then Hearne is comfortable with that category.
He is working on a new solo album, an album for a new band, and longer pieces for theater and other multi-media projects. You can bet that all of these projects will strike the listener as different from the norm, for as the Denton Record-Chronicle says, "everything about him is authentically and uniquely him.

Roxbury Saints & The Demon Rind
The Rabbit Box presents Roxbury Saints with special guests, The Demon Rind
Friday, Oct. 30th // Doors 6:30pm // Show 7:30pm
Roxbury Saints have been steadily building a reputation as one of Seattle’s must-see live acts since 2024. Fronted by Pacific Northwest punk and soul veteran Dan Cunneen (Final Warning, The Obituaries, Zipgun, Nightcaps), the Saints are a genre-busting fever dream: torch ballads collide with swamp rock, soul grooves melt into sharp post-punk angles, and Latin-infused rhythms slip beneath defiant blues howls. Anchored by Randy Lee Fader (Dusty 45s) on guitar, Jason Reavis (Boss Martians, Jaguar Paw) on drums, and Mark Wooten (Zipgun, American Flats) on bass, the band fuses decades of collective history into a raw, modern-day sonic juggernaut.
The Demon Rind features Kwab Eugene Copeland's cinematic 60's and 70's sounding psychedelic pop ranging from angular guitar meandering to torchy piano moodiness featuring Carrie Robinson (Bartobak), Johnny Sangster (Tripwires, Braley/Sangster, Case//Lang/Viers and many productions) , Bill Herzog (Citizen's Utilities, Jesse Sykes, Earth, SunnO)))

On her third album with Oh Boy Records, and her fifth since beginning her career a decade ago, Emily Scott Robinson once again unveils her mastery as a performer and storyteller. With her 2026 release Appalachia — recorded at Dreamland Recording Studios with Grammy-nominated producer Josh Kaufman — Robinson opens herself up to experimentation and sings in her crystal-clear voice about resilience, love, grief and hope.
Robinson’s talent is no surprise to the music industry — she’s now a veteran touring artist, both at home and abroad. Her records Traveling Mercies (2019) and American Siren (2021) each landed high on Rolling Stone’s “Best Country and Americana Albums” and Stereogum’s “10 Best Country Albums” year-end lists. She’s been lauded by the Washington Post, Billboard, American Songwriter and No Depression, and earned the 19th spot on NPR’s “100 Best Songs of 2021” with her song “Let ‘Em Burn.” It was her 2020 release “The Time for Flowers,” an anthem of hope recorded at home in the midst of the global pandemic, that caught the attention of Oh Boy Records, the independent label founded by John Prine in 1981. Robinson jumped at the opportunity to join the free-spirited and beloved record label carrying on her hero’s legacy. Robinson believes the songs on Appalachia are the best she’s ever written — she sings about her grandmother slipping into dementia, a cash-only saloon full of characters, and gratitude for life, despite its hardships. The album features a duet with Grammy winner John Paul White that celebrates the kind of love that comes with scars and age, and a hymn for anyone who’s ever failed or fallen short.
“There’s this thing I do with every record I make,” she says. “I knit a prayer into it, and I ask for all these songs to find their way to everyone who needs them. I ask these songs to be of service, to help people find and experience joy.”

Joel RL Phelps is musician and songwriter originally from Montana, now living in Vancouver, known for his work with the indie rock bands Silkworm and The Downer Trio. He started playing music in around 1982, co-founding a regionally infamous post-punk group, Ein Heit, in Missoula in 1983, and then formed rock ‘n’ roll ensemble Silkworm in 1988. After 3 LPs and many national tours, Phelps left Silkworm in 1994. Silkworm, having staked a claim as one of the U.S.’s most important bands, has reunited with Joel in 2025/26 to play several US dates. Joel struck out on his own in 1995 forming his own group, The Downer Trio, featuring Seattle residents William Herzog (formerly of Citizen's Utilities, Neko Case, Sunn O))),and Earth) and Robert Mercer (Zebra Hunt, Fallen Oaks), musicians with a similar minimal sensibility. With five albums, two EP’s and two singles and some compilation appearances to their collective credit, the group has assembled an accomplished and formidable body of work: no matter what the self-effacing Phelps might tell you to the contrary.

John Coons and Jonah Wheeler, DOUBLE INDUMBNITY
Sparkling chanteuse John Coons and adult performer Jonah Wheeler return to Seattle with a new evening of queer frivolity, original songs, and unhinged mashups. At turns hilarious, horny, and heartbreaking, these two punslingers will stuff you full of queer joy like a reverse pinata. Following up John's dark comedy BLEAK at Seattle Town Hall in 2023 (and performances with the 5th Avenue Theater, ACT Theater, and the Seattle Symphony), partner-in-life-and-performance Jonah now throws his Broadway-arranger-turned-adult-star hat into the ring. Described as "something between late-night cabaret, avant-garde therapy, and a fever dream from too many espresso martinis," John and Jonah have been touring all the very gay places – Provincetown, Puerto Vallarta, New York City, San Francisco– and descend on the Rabbit Box on Sept 20.

Seattle’s The Bad Things are known for their eclectic blend of folk, klezmer, punk, and Americana. Formed in 2002 by singer-songwriter/accordionist Jimmy "The Pickpocket" Berg, the group quickly gained a devoted following with their theatrical performances and gritty, carnival-esque sound. Their music, often described as “cabaret for the end times,” weaves tales of love, death, addiction, and redemption with a raw, narrative-driven edge that draws comparisons to Tom Waits, The Pogues and Gogol Bordello. The Bad Things have released four albums on their Silent City Records label including "It'll All Be Over Soon" and "After the Inferno," each showcasing their talent for balancing the macabre with the melodic. They are currently working on their fifth, slated for release in the first half of 2026. Their live shows are legendary for their immersive, old-world atmosphere and dramatic flair, often incorporating theatrical elements that make them as much a visual experience as a musical one. Despite multiple lineup changes and evolving styles, The Bad Things remain one of Seattle’s most enduring and original musical acts, continuing to defy genre boundaries while maintaining a deep connection to their roots in the punk and folk traditions.
Mister Ink emerges holding some weird vaguely recognizable instrument you are probably right and wrong all the same. There will be stories. There will be howling and hollering. There will be oddly captivating rhythms seducing you into his world. A subterranean labyrinth of folk tales, dirty limericks, and salacious magic rooted in the ancient heartbeat of humanity. Somewhere in the mud where myth crashes into meat there is Mister Ink asking you for just a little more time. Mister Ink, the shouting songwriting engine for the enigmatic Peculiar Pretzelmen, strips down the apocalyptic atmosphere to a more negotiable bit of bombast in solo form. The odd instrumentation and primal grooves remain, held together by songs that might be ancient or maybe hastily composed on the way to the stage. Either way, a captivating bit of chaos is sure to occur, tattooing its charms on the dark corners of audiences wherever he appears.

Bad nights out, broken hearts, and self-reflection sit at the center of Miller's lyrical universe; MQULTRA is an exploration of her broader musical taste, with nods to power pop, yacht rock, blues and indie rock, while still informed by a deep love for R&B.

Minneapolis-born, world bred singer/songwriter Hannah von der Hoff is original soul folk rock artist 'Holy Hannah!’ Her vignetted musical style speaks to the inception of rock & roll: an amalgam of blues, soul, folk rock roots which remind us authentic, organic songs are still alive and well. Audiences remark her reminiscence of Jimi meets Janice, Bonnie meets Buckley, Sheryl Crow, and Florence & The Machine to name a few, channeling the spirit of the classics in a lense all her own. Once recruited by Lizzo to tour across the states as fellow backup singer for Caroline Smith (Your Smith), Hannah has since focused on her original music career, cutting her teeth on stages across the globe, refining her talent as a performing and recording artist. Her most recent single release ‘Fickle Wind’ is an evocative western landscape inspired by the transient nature of life on the road. Her self-titled album debut is a timeless record; real, raw and soulful like the salt of the earth, captured live to analog tape.
“Step back in time with Casaundra May & The Mayhem, a high-octane roots and jump blues revue transporting audiences straight to the swank & smoky juke joints & clubs of the 1930s and 40s.
Fronted by the incomparable Ms Casaundra May, a songstress possessing powerhouse vocals that can shake the rafters or soothe a broken heart-this premier ensemble delivers the intoxicating sounds born where early jazz and low-down blues collided.
Backed by a spectacular outfit of seasoned, master-class musicians, The Mayhem unleashes a hard-swinging rhythm and steel string-fueled fire that keeps dance floors jumping. Alongside authentic era classics, they breathe vintage life into contemporary melodies, cleverly rearranging modern tunes to fit the high-spirited foundation of yesteryear.
Prepare yourselves for a grand spectacle of first-rate showmanship, magnificent vocals, and timeless, foot-stomping rhythm.”

His live shows are as intimate as they are electrifying — whether he’s singing a hushed acoustic ballad or launching into a searing guitar solo - Loucas is always reaching for and finding the extraordinary. Over the years, Loucas has shared the stage with artists including Wayne Horvitz, Robin Holcomb, Bill Frisell, and The Long Winters, cementing his place among Seattle’s most versatile and respected musicians.

Fiddler, banjoist, and singer Joseph Decosimo has introduced audiences around the world to the beauty and vitality of traditional music from the Appalachian South. Decosimo draws on years of mentorship and community collaboration from his upbringing in Tennessee to his life in Durham, NC to create music that NPR All Songs Considered describes as “classic and current at the same time” and “pushing the sonic boundaries of old-time music ... gorgeous.” Fiery Gizzard, his 2025 Dear Life Records solo debut, reveals him as a powerful champion of traditional music – a sponge who soaks up as much as he squeezes out, a responsive artist who makes his genre accessible, and a magnet who can bring musicians of all sorts into his orbit with his same passion. He’s contributed to recordings by fellow Durham, NC projects Hiss Golden Messenger, Wye Oak, and Jake Xerxes Fussell, who compares Decosimo to “an astute jazz artist, with his perspective substantiated by a fundamental sense of melodic direction and delicate purpose.” Irish fiddle luminary Martin Hayes describes Decosimo’s trio recording Beehive Cathedral (Dear Life Records, 2024) as “grounded, subtle and refined.” He’s long been a key player in the US Old-time scene, winning a National Old-time banjo championship, a blue ribbon in the prestigious Clifftop fiddle contest, and leading the prize-winning Old-time band the Bucking Mules. /// “pushing the sonic boundaries of old-time music ... gorgeous” NPR Music All Songs Considered “an exceptional album” NPR Music “...warm, fuzzy, fabulous” ★★★★ MOJO “Decosimo wraps the plain-spoken melodies of pre-industrial America in layers of drone, giving them a spiritual resonance and mystery.” Aquarium Drunkard “There's no irony, no gloss – just an intuitive feel for time, tone and tune.” ★★★★ Songlines (Top of the World) “Come for the pastoral vibes and timeless hooks, and stick around for the Americana masterclass.” Bandcamp Daily (Essential Releases, Best of Country) “an energetic, enchanting, and often joyful set that feels both timeless and otherworldly” KLOF (Best Albums of 2025)
Armed with her father’s first guitar, a wry sense of humor and a startlingly cohesive and masterful tone to her writing, Elise Leavy writes and sings folk songs that sound like they came straight from Laurel Canyon in the 70's. Often likened to Joni Mitchell and Judee Sill, Elise says it must be the California seawater getting inside her head and heart from an early age. She has been writing songs since she was 8 years old. “I don’t really remember a time before I wrote songs and sang them for people- it’s just always been there…” Since graduating from the New England Conservatory of Music at the tender age of 19, she has taken to the road, having written over one hundred songs at age 27, and traveled the world singing them for the people. She was recently selected as a New Folk Finalist at the Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition, and for an official showcase at the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance in Albany, NY. Take note because this young artist has arrived as a songwriting force. She sang harmonies on Eamon O’Leary’s record, titled “The Silver Sun”, as well as Alexa Wildish’s “After Love”, and sang harmonies and played accordion on Liv Greene’s most recent record, “Deep Feeler”. She has opened for the likes of Olivia Barton, Sam Amidon, The Brother Brothers, The Murphy Beds, and Nora Brown & Stephanie Coleman, and has shared bills with Viv and Riley, Liv Greene, KC Jones, Gina Leslie, and Chris Acker, as well as many more.

Desert Hollow is the special place where the open road meets the back porch. Blending the spirit of their roots in the California desert and West Virginia countryside, the magnetic traveling folk duo Xander Hitzig and Nicole Olney weave dusty harmonies, rootsy rhythms, and a touch of cosmic twang into songs that wander through heartache, hope, and the strange beauty of belonging everywhere and nowhere at once. Whether busking on the sidewalk for hundreds outside of Hardly Strictly in San Francisco, or playing their at-home packed Thursday night residency in Maui, the Desert Hollow live show leaves an undeniable impact. Their new warmly received 2026 record, Music for the Folks, delivers their unique blend of heartfelt storytelling, rootsy instrumentation, a few background vocal harmonies by Lukas Nelson, and folk music —music for the folks.

Sam Weber is a Portland-based songwriter whose reputation precedes him. If you haven’t seen him in your town on one of his many extended tours, you might have seen his name on marquees beside Dawes, Feist, or Madison Cunningham (and in the latter's liner notes as a songwriter on her latest LP, Ace). His songcraft is only rivaled by his musicianship, both of which are disciplined enough to stun and feel effortless. He’s well-practiced at his trade, touring solo or with an ensemble domestically and abroad since 2013. His relentless output — now counting eight full length records in his discography — has led to an examination of human existence through self analysis, eternal in a fragmenting modern world. He is a Scorpio.
Berkley (Portland, OR) With a voice that straddles delicacy and huskiness, Portland songwriter Berkley takes the mantle from the 70s Laurel Canyon scene. Jones’s signature progressive flourishes and expansive influences keep him out of the heritage revivalism pack as he ventures into new (for him) territory of country-tinged, folk-leaning tunes on his second LP Vaquero.

Inspired by 90’s emo, shoegaze, and alternative rock, MyVeronica began as the solo project of singer/guitarist Mia Lin. Now a four-piece band, MyVeronica is still an outlet for “exploring the deeply personal through the universal,” shares Lin. The band seeks catharsis and exorcism: accessing the deep, sensitive part of yourself that doesn’t have space in daily life. MyVeronica embodies a DIY ethos, prioritizing authenticity and community. Formed as a group in 2021 in order to play a Halloween show, the band cut its teeth in the Los Angeles DIY scene surrounding UCLA. The band continues to play shows all over Los Angeles. Along with digital music releases, MyVeronica has put out tapes, multiple zines, self-produced music videos, a special edition CD, handmade merch, and more, all available on the band’s Bandcamp page and at live shows.

Album Release Show! Rachael Sage & The Sequins have been creating wildly expressive, original alt-folk-pop for decades - and this is the 30th Anniversary year for Sage’s artist-owned label, MPress Records. After receiving her first “big break” as Ani DiFranco’s opening act in 1998, Sage proceeded to play Lilith Fair with her NYC-based band, beginning an international touring and recording career that’s taken her everywhere from Berlin to Japan. An accomplished pianist and multi-instrumentalist, Sage also plays guitar, percussion, produces and is a former dancer with The New York City Ballet as well as a visual artist. With an ongoing message of inclusivity, resilience and compassion, her songs straddle Americana/folk, pop, and even classical genres…supported by creative instrumentation including cello, violin and harmonica. A longtime activist on behalf of LGBTQ+ rights as well as homelessness, women’s health and eating disorders, Sage and her label MPress seamlessly combine the arts and activism with an underlying message of love and acceptance - needed now more than ever. Rachael Sage & The Sequins’ new acoustic album “Under My Canopy” will be available exclusively to concertgoers on this tour, ahead of its late fall wider release.

The Rabbit Box presents Nick Vigarino’s Meantown Blues with Emmanuel 'E-Man' del Casal on bass and Larry 'Fishbone' McClure on drums.
Sunday, Aug. 30th / Doors 6pm / Show 7pm
“That slide is naaasty!!” - Bo Diddley
“You shouldn’t miss this experience. It’s cut and dried…this guy kicks ass.” - Musician Magazine (NY, NY)
“Vigarino radiates an unpredictable fervor with slashing slide guitar, powerful vocals, funky licks, modern lyrics, and his ‘slop jar delta funk’ blues. His style elevates the ‘blues’ to a place where roots are respected, yet nudged towards the future. He consistently captures, then rivets listeners with precise, passionate performances.” - Jefferson Magazine (Sweden)
“Having earned finalist status at the 2011 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Nick Vigarino has since been recognized as a world class blues act. Be it a juke or a major festival, Nick delivers the story with a stinging guitar that is second to none.” – Washington Blues Society
“Nick has released 3 CD’s, can be heard on 30+ recordings and 3 film soundtracks. He has performed in 13 countries, has been nominated for 30+ music awards in 3 countries, garnering 24, including an induction into the Washington Blues Society’s Hall of Fame and the prestigious Lifetime Acheivement Award” – Seattle Times
“Nick took to dismantling what was left of all sensibility with the skill of a surgeon and the impact of a wrecking ball. We were promised that this guy smoked, but even that’s putting things lightly.”- The Bluesletter (Seattle,WA)
“Nick plays from the heart with high energy, it is definitely THE blues” – Lee Oskar

Afterparty ~ 9:30 to close with Petty Party - ( 21+ ID Required after 10pm )
Vivienne DiMarco wants you to be FREE. The Seattle-based guitarist’s debut album, Pressure, out now via Loosegroove Records, is a fantastically funky celebration of self-expression; a call of the wild urging people to express the most authentic and audacious version of themselves. Its sonic wingspan is equal parts Parliament meets Bauhaus, Ace Frehley meets Ian Curtis, Grace Jones meets Johnny Thunders. “Music to me is like a carriage ride in an old ‘50s movie where everyone has glorious furs on. It’s interstellar space travel to the other side of the galaxy. I think of it like being a cowboy alone by yourself. It’s hard work, but you have to be amazing because it’s life or death out there,” proclaims DiMarco. “You can’t be afraid to show people who you are. You must stay strong in your convictions because you have no one else to depend on when the chips are down. When I make music, I’m free to express myself. Free to not be in a box of masculine or feminine. The universe has put me here to say it’s ok—we can be free; help yourself any way that you need.” True to DiMarco’s vision, the eight tracks on Pressure, produced by Funkscribe aka Anthony Warner, offer without hesitation a full-body embrace of kaleidoscopic influences like darkwave, trance, glam, and groove. Sonically, the recording melds live drums with electronic drums, layered keyboards with long chords and minimal changes. “Pressure,” the title track and first single, is unapologetically Funkadelic, while simultaneously begging the question of how long it will take for people to be who they really are.
“I was raised in Toledo, Ohio with a strictly Midwestern outlook, don’t make waves, keep your head down and do as you’re told,” says DiMarco. “As I grew older, I realized that, in order to be happy in this life, I had to reimagine myself in different terms than the fear I was raised with.” DiMarco, who chooses to keep his true identity separate from his work as an artist, headed West with its promise of a potential holy land where he could let his freak flag fly. Relocating to Seattle, he worked as a construction worker by day to make ends meet. He’d invent the character of Vivienne DiMarco as a means to pursue, through musical expression, the complex identities he’d been suppressing. He raised his profile considerably in the Northwest after joining soul wunderkind Brittany Davis’ band as lead guitarist. Indeed, the image of DiMarco in 7-inch heels and fishnet stockings wielding a Les Paul onstage with a blind, non-binary, African American vocalist/keyboardist was a truly defiant statement in and of itself. Now stepping out with his solo endeavor, DiMarco further seeks to expand his vision that gives autonomy to everyday people trapped in their box, giving those disaffected souls the power to fulfill their fantasies. To that end, “The Storm” examines being raised in the church with Bible study and youth retreats, but summoning the courage to push back against the indoctrination. “Safety Place” is an uptempo, joyous jam that gets down and boogies as it offers solace to someone who’s lost their place in the world. There’s even a “stark ass, dark love song” in “Baby,” that begs a lover to stop the pain, during which DiMarco “cried like a child in the studio” while recording the song. “The music on Pressure is a hybrid of all the different elements of my personality,” says DiMarco. “It allows me to be this fantasy person full of confidence and relate to all kinds of different people who might be feeling the same as I did. I want to inspire people to break out, not to do what I’m doing necessarily, but to do what brings each individual joy in their own lives. We have one life to live, so go for it—let it rip.”
