Seattle songstress Shelby Earl played to a very receptive audience at the Triple Door last week, in support of her latest album, Swift Arrows, released in July. Earl’s debut album, Burn the Boats, attracted attention from Rolling Stone and was named the #1 Outstanding 2011 Album You Might Have Missed by Amazon. Be sure to catch her next Seattle show at Barboza on November 22.

Did you miss the Brooklyn-based Lake Street Dive? If you did, or if you want to see them again in Seattle, they’ll be at the Tractor on November 2nd.

Photos: Grouplove @ the Triple Door

There is an infectious joy that radiates from the tightly knit quintet that make up Grouplove. While billed as an acoustic set, Grouplove brought their bounding stage presence and upbeat energy to the Triple Door to lift the audience with a happy set of summertime jams from their latest album Spreading Rumours. I defy any live music fan to try to walk away from a Grouplove show without a giant smile across your face.
