Singer-songwriters Sarah Darling and Julie Lavery kicked-off their two-month-long US tour at the High Dive in Seattle’s Fremont district. With their beautiful harmonies, you’d never know that the Nashville-based duo paired up specifically for the tour and have separate music careers. And if we’re lucky, they’ll continue to take advantage of the synergy long after they’re back home.

English band Spiritualized are definitely experiencing a huge resurgence. While they’ve consistently released well-received albums since – and including – their debut, Lazer Guided Melodies, this year’s Everything Was Beautiful coincides (nearly) with a reissue of their first four albums. The band appeared at Seattle’s Neptune Theatre, along with three backup singers. Everything Was Beautiful, which found the recent lockdowns as an inspiration, will be released on April 22nd.
