As part of their live music series, the Aloft Hotel in Redmond (east of Seattle) hosted ZZ Ward several days before her Bumbershoot appearance. Guests and the general public were treated to a free hour-long show by ZZ and her band.
ZZ Ward
Music: Dim Sum’s “Stay”
Band: Dim Sum
Song: “Stay”
Why You Want to Listen: Dim Sum, a producer and electronic musician from France, has remixed songs by Foster the People and Odesza. And others! He does his own thing as well, including (I think I am right on this) three EPs. His second single off Right Track makes my day.

Memory Lane Series lucky number 12 features Jonathan Leung’s photos from Nick Waterhouse’s show at Neumos in 2016. A rhythm and blues musician, Waterhouse’s newest album, Never Twice, includes a track with Leon Bridges. The album is also the first Waterhouse album not self-produced. Instead, production duties went to Michael McHugh (Black Lips,Ty Segall). Seattle’s Acapulco Lips celebrated in style by touring Europe this summer, with loads of dates in France.

In a stripped down acoustic set, Megs McLean opened for Pam Tillis and Lorrie Morgan at a stop during their Grits & Glamour tour, at the Tulalip Casino north of Seattle. Backed by Ilya Ignatov on guitar, the local country artist treated the 1000+ member audience to songs from her Out Of School EP plus several new ones that the crowd were the first ones to hear.
