Nashville-based singer-songwriter Kara Hesse delivered a captivating performance at the Triple Door, blending raw emotion and powerful vocals with an unmistakable stage presence.  Hesse’s mix of Americana, rock and soul was on full display during a stop on her summer tour in support of the recently released album, Devil & the Dove.  Backed by guitar, drums and bass, Hesse alternated between guitar and keys for the enthusiastic crowd.

The dynamite double bill of Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire appeared at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena on August 3rd. Richie, who resumes touring in September, treated fans to his Sing a Song All Night Long Tour, which included tracks such as “Hello,” “Brick House/Fire,” and “Say You, Say Me.” Big love sent out! Richie has received numerous huge nominations and awards, and has been the King’s Trust first Global Ambassador and Chairman. We can get behind that. He deserves a knighthood, seriously. Co-headliners Earth, Wind and Fire, a likewise award-winning and -nominated band, such as the incredibly Grammy-worthy award nomination for “Let’s Groove” and win for “Boogie Wonderland,” have a whole load of shows coming up starting early September. They’ll rejoin Richie for a number shows at the end of September, plus they have a residency at Las Vegas’ The Venetian from October 16-31. We also send our best wishes to EW&F drummer, John Paris, who is in the hospital and looking at major surgery. If you can, why not help him and his family out on the official GoFundMe.
