Natalie Prass and her band recently played at Neumos near the tail end of her US tour. Natalie was my “Best New Find” at SXSW in Austin this past March and I was thrilled to see her again in Seattle. She started her career as the keyboardist in Jenny Lewis’ band. Her self-titled debut album was released earlier this year and a new EP, Side by Side, is due out in a few weeks. During one song in her set, Natalie stepped off the stage and went out into the audience to perform. Nashville-based Promised Land Sound and Seattle artist Maiah Manser opened.

Tove Lo is marvelous! The Swedish singer-songwriter visited Seattle on October 7th, and brought her first headlining tour, Queen of the Clouds, to her admirers. And we here at Back Beat Seattle are definitely admirers. We’re looking forward to catching Lo when she returns as the opener for Maroon 5 next October. Only 11 months away. . . All photos of the Seattle 2015 October date are by Casey Brevig. Thanks Casey!

Sultry singer-songwriter Lera Lynn recently made a stop at the Triple Door in the middle of her North American tour. She’s probably best known for several songs on HBO’s popular True Detective series, and she even has an acting role on the show. Lera’s sophomore album, The Avenues, will be followed up early next year with her third release. After a satisfying set, the audience demanded a rare two encores.
