Singer-songwriter and former model Kacy Hill played at the Vera Project. Seattle was one of the initial stops on her first headlining tour, the Simple, Sweet and Selfish Tour, in support of her new album. The expressive Hill, accompanied by her keyboard, performed with a backdrop of videos whose content matched the soft mood of her music. We took a few minutes afterward for photos outside in the chilly Seattle rain.

And that planet crashing into? combining with? the figure is just too weird.
