Rainbow Kitten Surprise

Boone, North Carolina’s Rainbow Kitten Surprise headlined Showbox SoDo on May 3rd, just a few weeks following the release of their big label debut album, How to: Friend, Love, Freefall. I’ve read the band doesn’t like classifying their sound, but for production duties on How to. . . they worked with Jay Joyce. Joyce has produced artists such as Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town and Keith Urban, putting Rainbow Kitten Surprise in the category of music that knows how to cross over. Indie-folk duo Caamp, from Ohio, opened.

KT Tunstall opened for Barenaked Ladies at Marymoor Park in Redmond, east of Seattle. Her solo set – accompanied by looping – was in support of her most recent album, KIN. After playing her first hit from 2004, “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree,” she imitated the audience saying, “Oh! She’s the one who sang that song!” Watch for KT’s sixth studio album this fall and a tour stop in October.

The Seattle area has been lucky to have Yes play two shows in the last two years: Tulalip in 2017, and Woodinville in 2018. The 2017 concert was part of the Yestival tour, while the 2018 concert was one date of the 50th Anniversary tour. Congratulations on that anniversary! Todd Rundgren, who opened in 2017, has also been busy with six albums already released this decade. There are loads of opportunities to catch both bands again right now, so check them out.

Acknowledged by Rolling Stone as one of “10 New Country Artists You Need to Know”, Jade Jackson opened for Social Distortion at Showbox SoDo. The show was the first night of a seven-week run in support her debut album, Gilded, produced by Mike Ness, Social Distortion frontman. Jade and her band took a few minutes after their set for some portraits.
