Alternative pop singer-songwriter Genevieve Stokes performed at Madame Lou’s, one of several stages at the legendary Crocodile.  The Seattle stop was near the tail end of her 15-city US headlining tour in support of her recently release debut album, With a Lightning Strike.  Genevieve’s two-member backing band was the perfect complement to her songs while playing a variety of instruments including accordion, bass, drums and keys.

New York’s own electronic duo Sofi Tucker lit up the WaMu Theater on October 30th, bringing an electrifying energy that had everyone on their feet. Known for their infectious beats and irresistible rhythms, the duo delivered a performance that was nothing short of unforgettable. As the crowd danced and swayed to their booty-shakin’ vibes, the atmosphere was charged with excitement and joy. The night was a celebration of music and movement, with each track perfectly crafted to keep the energy soaring. Fans reveled in the dynamic visuals and immersive soundscapes, making it a truly memorable experience for all in attendance.

As the venue went dark, Maggie Rogers emerged from below the stage in the center of the arena to kick off the show.  She and her 6-member band created a wonderful evening during a stop on their Don’t Forget Me Tour.  One of the many highlights was Maggie performing an acoustic solo version of “Alaska” arranged especially for the tour, followed by several songs with her band in the center of the arena.  Maggie went on to ask who in the audience was also at her Triple Door show in March 2017.  I enthusiastically raised my hand and included as historic evidence, the last three photos below. Maggie was also my “Best New Find” at SXSW 2017 in Austin.
