Join us for an evening of music featuring local songwriters representing BIPOC communities, curated by Bobby Odle.
Bobby Odle, a Seattle based singer-songwriter performing under the moniker Townsend’s Solitaire, is a classically trained percussionist turned folk musician. Whilst living in Ashland, Oregon, faced with completing a master’s degree in percussion performance, as well as a worldwide pandemic, Townsend’s Solitaire turned his creative eye towards poetry and songwriting. Drawing heavy influence from artists like The Tallest Man on Earth, Adrianne Lenker, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens – Townsend’s Solitaire prioritizes and treasures genuinity above all else. His music is primarily fingerstyle acoustic guitar paired with a single vocal line singing lyrics addressing common anxieties, loss, and a love for life in this world – all the while drenched in a somber melancholy and nostalgia.
Once Around the Sun is a musical duo of siblings from India, who followed their individual musical journey but realized that their sound had more depth together. Their music is bi-lingual and is a subtle reflection of their culture and journey of life.
My name is Erick Irons. I’m a 23 year old singer/songwriter from Seattle, WA. Writing for me is very much the same as journaling. I enjoy writing about what I’m going through or who is in my life at any given moment. I love that I can play old songs and remember what I was feeling at that moment and who was around that might not be anymore.
“JUL!ET is an indie pop singer-songwriter currently residing in Seattle, WA. Her folksy vocals and emotional lyrics give her music a laidback vibe and reflective feel. She finds inspiration through the unlikely synthesis of Folk, Electronic, and Hip-Hop influences. Her honest storytelling attempts to process the ever-changing self and the duality of experiences through the lens of romantic encounters.
Her debut project, Hopeless Romantic, was produced by Enrique Rojas. It was recorded and mixed over a brief winter retreat to her hometown in Northern California.”
