The wonderful singer-songwriter Tori Amos visits Seattle’s Paramount on Sunday, June 5th. Amos, who has been nominated for and won many awards (winning the Peabody Award, putting her in the same remarkable category as Quincy Jones, Pete Seeger and Leonard Bernstein, among others) has maintained an incredible career that began with her debut, Little Earthquakes. Her latest, Ocean to Ocean, is the impetus for the current tour, but I’m seeing a spread of songs on latest Amos set lists, such as the very current “Russia.”

Another tour that was cancelled last year due to the pandemic was Judas Priest’s 50th Anniversary tour. The group’s dates were rescheduled for this year, with the Seattle-area show taking place at Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett, Washington. The massively welcome date was flavored with a setlist to cry happy tears over, including “Turbo Lover,” “Electric Eye” and “Painkiller.” These Brits sizzle eternally, and with Queensryche as openers, how can anyone go wrong? Big P.S.: Queensryche returns to Washington State in September with an appearance at Pain In The Grass on September 4th.

Seattle-based singer/songwriter Isabella Kay‘s music offers real life experiences that connect with her listeners’ emotions. With nearly 400k streams on her release “Under Your Skin”, she is quickly gaining a dedicated fan base. This was evident during her recent performance at Club Sur for Seattle Minifest, where she showcased her rich and diverse vocals and commanding stage presence. Her upcoming release “Never Gonna See Me Cry” drops June 10th. You can follow Isabella on Instagram @isabellakaymusic and TikTok @isabella_kay_music, and pre-save on Spotify. In my well-founded opinion, expect to see Isabella on American Idol in the not-too-distant future.

Boy Harsher, the electronic duo from Georgia also known as Jae Matthews and Augustus Muller, headlined the Crocodile on April 15th. It was one of the first shows to get the Boy Harsher world tour on its way. In other Boy Harsher news: getting so much inspiration from film, it probably didn’t come as a surprise to many fans when they directed and released a film called The Runner and its accompanying soundtrack. You can check out the horror film on Shudder. Boy Harsher returns to Seattle for Cuff Pride Festival on June 24th.
