Hey Seattle!
GO TO A LOCAL SHOW!
I’ve spent the last however long (i forget at this point) curating a huge Spotify playlist of every active, local artist I can find. The last time I posted about this playlist, it had close to 3k followers, but now, it has over 3900! Seeing that many people find new local music is amazing!
Since there are many people involved at this point, and I have gotten some amazing feedback, I thought that I should share a few updates with the broader community:
-
I’ve created a Seattle Scene: Just Out playlist for new releases from local artists in the last month ONLY. This is updated monthly!
-
Apple Music, YouTube music playlists are coming soon! Hopefully, by the next update I have, both of these will be fully complete and ready to go!
-
Local shows! I’ve been asked about local show discovery quite a bit. I’m working to centralize this info as well! If you’re on IG, follow this account and stay tuned. If you’re not, don’t worry, this won’t be IG only!
So, there are lots of exciting things happening!
Speaking of new releases and local shows:
Densmore (as made famous by this post the other day) has a show TONIGHT at Madame Lou’s
Daphne just dropped a sick new ep, has an ALL AGES EP release show at El Corazon on Aug 17!
Everything’s Fine just released another summertime pop punk banger and plays with Daphne on Aug 17 @ el co!
Puppy Feet just dropped a sick emo full length
Jul!et has a show on Sep 13 at Hidden Hall
odd man out just dropped a record for the straight edge hc kids and plays this Saturday at Real Art in Tacoma
What other notable local releases or shows should people check out?
Why do I do this?
Because I love local music and want the scene to thrive. That’s literally it. I make no money from this in any way, there’s no gatekeeping, nothing. If it’s made by musicians based in Seattle, it deserves to be found by other people in Seattle.
I’m just doing my part.
Now go do yours!
Go listen! Find something you like, add the track to your playlists, catch the artists next show, follow them on their social media accounts and tell all your friends!
