Photos: Linus Young @ Neumos

Linus Young – the musical duo fronted by Iris Belson and Joseph Walker – played a sold-out show at Neumos over the weekend. Currently on tour with Tove Lo, the L.A. natives released their debut single “City of Sin” to rave reviews last year. Although the music style is very different, Linus Young’s harmonies bring to mind another (former) duo – The Civil Wars.

Photos: Logan Brill @ Triple Door

Nashville-based singer/songwriter Logan Brill recently played at the Triple Door in Seattle as part of the Western Arts Alliance Conference. Brill is touring in support of her terrific debut album, Walking Wires, that was featured in CMA’s Close Up Magazine in its Debut Spotlight section and also made its way onto That Nashville Sound’s Top Albums of 2013. Accompanied by Bryan Downing on guitar, the audience loved Brill’s country/Americana sound.
