Doors at 8:30pm

Tickets: $8 adv/ $10 dos

Led to Sea is a magnetic chamber-pop group led by Seattle-based violinist, violist and singer Alex Guy, who fuses classical, pop and experimental music. Her live show as a string player and vocalist has captivated audiences all over the U.S. and Europe, and draws comparisons to St. Vincent and Andrew Byrd. She has opened for and shared the stage with a host of renowned artists, including Laura Veirs, Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, Mirah and Jherek Bischoff. Alex has also collaborated with numerous groups in Seattle, including Wayne Horvitz' Electric Circus, the Degenerate Art Ensemble and the Seattle Rock Orchestra. She released her third Led to Sea record: The Beautiful Humming of Ms. Fortune in 2015, and is currently working on her first feature-length film score for With Wings and Roots, a documentary about immigration and belonging. 

Kendra McKinley perceives a song like a painter views a blank canvas: an opportunity to expand an audience’s mind, to wash their thoughts in brilliant hues of blue and violet, scarlet reds and effusive orange.
Inspired by the past but not chained to it, McKinley’s music spans the diverse spectrum of pop music. She echoes the intricate vocal arrangements crafted by Brian Wilson, fractures the narrow definitions of a genre like St. Vincent, and recognizes storytelling as the key aspect of a great tune the way the best singer-songwriters have for generations 

Intisaar is a Seattle-based duo comprised of Tess (Intisaar) Jubran on guitar/vocals, and Natalie Mai Hall on cello. In a live setting, they are a dynamic acoustic powerhouse rich with emotive melody, hard-hitting rhythms, and compelling arrangements.
