Less than one week after covering Maisie Peters at SXSW in Austin – and declaring her my “Best New Find” at the music festival – I had the pleasure of doing so again back home in Seattle at the Vera Project. Her sold-out show at the intimate, up-close venue proved to be everything, and more than her adoring audience anticipated. It’s guaranteed that pop music’s next big thing will never perform in a space this small again.
Singer-songwriter Jonah Kagen opened – and closed the set with his hit, “Broken”.
