Singer-songwriter and actor Katelyn Tarver performed at Madame Lou’s, one of several stages at the legendary Crocodile Café.  Backed by drums and guitar/keys, Tarver treated the audience to songs from her numerous albums spanning nearly 20 years.  Seattle was the fourth stop on the Compliments Only Tour, her first to headline.  Towards the end of her set, Tarver gave the audience a sneak peek at her upcoming album Quitter and performed the title track, which was enthusiastically received by the crowd.

English pop singer Maisie Peters performed at the Showbox in support of her recently released album, The Good Witch.  The sold-out show was one of the first stops on her headlining tour.  For many in the audience, this was the second time they saw Maisie onstage in Seattle that week – she opened for Ed Sheeran two days earlier at Lumen Field.  I first saw Maisie last year at SXSW in Austin and she was clearly my “Best New Discovery” of the festival.  For her encore, Maisie returned to the stage in a Seattle Seahawks jersey, much to the delight of the crowd!  Singer-songwriter Grace Enger opened.

Bumbershoot Returns – Day 2, September 3rd
~Dagmar

The return of Bumbershoot day 2, is nearly upon us. After you’ve taken in bands and stuffed your little happy faces on Saturday, there’s more to do on Sunday, September 3rd. If you didn’t partake on the first day of Bumbershoot, head over to something they’ve named Bumbeershoot. Yes, that’s Bumbeershoot, where you can enjoy some Seattle beers. There’s a wine garden too, if that’s your thing. Don’t worry. Day 2 features the Dandy Warhols, modernlove, Phantogram, Gustaf, Temples and more! Also, Bumbershoot announced its arts and culture schedule. Check it out below. Don’t miss the Cat Circus (both days, all day). Also there’s something called Witch’s Temple. Not sure what that is but I’m all about the witches (both days, all day)
