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.

Memory Lane Series, part 36
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.

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.

Ooah of the Glitch Mob
The incredible trio of electronic artists known as the Glitch Mob headlined Showbox SoDo on May 18th. From Los Angeles, the Glitch Mob is smartly self-produced on their own label, Glass Air Records; you can hear more evidence of their great sounds on new Glitch Mob album, See Without Eyes. That album awesomely features fellow Los Angeles artist Arama on “Take With Me You” and New Orleans singer Ambré Perkins on “How Do I Get To Invincible.” Very cool. I also think I spot the return of The Blade, a stage design the Glitch Mob introduced for their 2014 tour. Elohim, from Los Angeles, opened. We’ve been lucky to have Elohim here at least twice this year.
