Backed by Morgan Wick on guitar and Caleb Morgan on bass, Miller began her set with “Obsession,” the first single off her upcoming album, Sweet Whiskey. The enthusiastic audience were treated to several more tunes off the record, plus a few covers. Miller will have her debut album release show at the Tractor Tavern on November 15.

NEEDTOBREATHE @ Marymoor Park, 9/1/16

NEEDTOBREATHE‘s Bear Rinehart
NEEDTOBREATHE put on outdoor show at Marymoor Park on September 1, 2016. If you notice that date, you’ll know this is also a Walk Down Memory Lane post, where we can still enjoy the show photos (but a bit late -sorry, the editor apologizes). This one’s part 17, if you’re asking.
NEEDTOBREATHE has roots in Possum Kingdom (singer and guitarist are brother; they grew up in the city), probably the same Possum Kingdom in the song by Toadies. Why am I fixated on this? First, that song is fanastic. Second, how cool would it be to say you’re from Possum Kingdom. But back to NEEDTOBREATHE. Every single NEEDTOBREATHE album (there are 6) has received great reviews. 2016’s Hard Love was another hit. These accomplishments in music are pretty rare.
We’ve also got photos of the evening’s openers, Mat Kearney and John Mark McMillan.

Band: The Presets
Song: “Do What You Want”
Why You Want to Listen: This really exciting! The Presets, always one of my faves, are back with their first album since 2012’s Pacifica. This Australian duo knows how to come up with cool songs, and guess what? They’ve done it again with song one, “Do What You Want,” off an upcoming 2018 album. And I also love this photo of them with assorted gummy candies on their faces. Yum.

English singer-songwriter Lucy Rose opened at the Neptune Theatre in support of her third studio album, Something’s Changing. The show was near the tail end of her North American tour with punk rocker Paul Weller. Backed by her two-member band on bass, piano, electric guitar and violin, Rose played both acoustic guitar and piano. Missed the show? Rose will be back in Seattle next March.
