Photos: The 1975 @ Showbox SoDo

One of my favorites, Britain’s the 1975 made their third visit to Seattle when they played Showbox SoDo last winter. After a listen to the group’s first album, The 1975, many others have likewise embraced them. With an elegant pop quality to their songs, the Manchester-based 1975 made the sold out venue dance. And while I waited for the show to begin, I heard a woman say, “This is like a religious experience.” I didn’t want to be creepy (a problem generally part of eavesdropping), but I wanted to yell at her, “I know. I know.”

My top songs: “The City,” “M.O.N.E.Y.,” “Chocolate,” “Sex,” “Settle Down,” “Girls,” “fallingforyou,” “Love Me,” “A Change of Heart” and “Somebody Else.”

Photos: Vanessa Carlton @ Tractor Tavern

The 30-something audience formed a line outside the Tractor well before doors. Several hours later, Vanessa Carlton took the stage. She started off with a few oldies, then essentially played her new and fifth album, Liberman, start to finish. And while not on the set list in front of me at her feet – and maybe a tease – Vanessa wrapped up the set with her debut single, “A Thousand Miles,” which reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2002 and was nominated for a Grammy. She wrapped up the evening with a two-song encore without leaving the stage. Skye Steele opened and accompanied Vanessa on keys, guitar, fiddle and vocals during her set.

Photos: Snoop Dogg @ WaMu Theater

Guess who was at WaMu Theater in April of 2015? Master rapper Snoop Dogg! His Seattle show took place right before the release of Bush, Snoop Dogg’s most recent album, which features collaborations with Gwen Stefani, Stevie Wonder and Charlie Wilson. Very cool. This show marked my first time seeing Snoop Dogg perform live. I admired his delivery and ability to stir his audience. What a real pleasure to photograph him!
