Canadian singer-songwriter Tate McRae recently sang and danced her way into the hearts of her fans in Seattle. The sold-out show at the Showbox at the Market was the second of her 23-city North American headlining tour. Backed by her band and 2 dancers, Tate performed numerous songs off her latest EP, Too Young to Be Sad. In the middle of her show, Tate jumped offstage and autographed several signs that two of her diehard fans were holding.

Sound Off! is back! The 2022 showcases began on February 19th with #1 happening on February 19th. This year, the event again highlights some of the very best youth bands in the Pacific Northwest. We’re so happy to see this take place at MoPOP as always, which provides such a lovely venue with the Sky Church. Strictly a showcase now, with no placing 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th. Sound Off! allows fans to enjoy the performances without the artists worrying about placement. This seems to take off stress and just let the artists SHINE! Check out Simon Krane’s great shots of Instant Crush, Maceo Sky, Lexi Lalauni and REFUGIO.

Georgia’s Washed Out brought tunes from his latest release, Purple Noon to Seattle at the end of January. That album got its name from the classic French movie of the same, featuring actor Alain Delon. The Sub Pop-signed Washed Out (Ernest Greene) excels in Chillwave, a genre well-suited to the Showbox’s ability to host such sounds. Duo Brijean, who describe themselves as “back-room disco” (that’s a very cool phrase) opened.

JoJo is all grown up! After being the youngest solo artist to have a number-one single in the United States at age 13, JoJo has continued her success with worldwide, sold-out, headlining tours. She made a recent stop at the Showbox SoDo near the beginning of her coast-to-coast, headlining 2022 Tour … then it’s off to Europe next month. And yes, it was a sold-out show!
