WILLOW SCRIVNER @ DARBY WINERY
4308 SW ALASKA ST
Genre: Folk-noir / Americana
Willow Scrivner is a Seattle-based artist whose music lingers in a stark, blackly outlined winter landscape with shadowy, whispering instrumentation and fluid melody. Scrivner’s records hover somewhere around folk, but with gothic tinges and bell-like guitars chiming throughout. Her voice, reminiscent of The Sundays’ Harriet Wheeler and Emmylou Harris, is as warm, lilting, and alluring as they come…heartfelt and haunting, shot throughout with a deep, glimmering liquidity. Willow most often performs with guitarist Kevin Wood in the duo, Willow & Wood. Willow and Wood’s music is transcendent: both a study of the geography of place, and the constant search for home. Each of the 11 tracks on the duo’s new album Tornadoes in My Head aches with hope and a broken heart. Those contradictions are at the core of what makes this duo so special. Falling somewhere between indie pop and country, they have created a sound rooted in a West Coast reverb-drenched loneliness, dripping with southern humidity and darkness – and determined to find the magic.

ABBY K @ WEST SEATTLE GROUNDS
2141 CALIFORNIA AVE SW
Genre: Folk Pop or Indie Folk
Abby K is honest. Her melodies are instantly hummable and imminently memorable, and her stories will hit you smack dab in the heart. Her influences embrace the dichotomies in her life. Releasing her fourth album in March 2023, “Where We’re At” was written in collaboration with her husband Brian, and recorded at Seattle’s iconic London Bridge Studios with the seasoned producer Jonathan Plum. Where We’re At is a charming and thought-provoking mix of resplendent folk-pop that touches upon the reality of what it means to be “getting by” together during a time of great uncertainty. In all, Abby K is hard to categorize. She is not pop. She is not country. She is not rock. Nor is she alternative or folk. She is Heart Rock. Her sound is nostalgic and modern in the same breath.

CARRIE CLARK @ SOPRANO’S ANTICO PIZZA & PASTA RESTAURANT
2348 CALIFORNIA AVE SW
Genre: Americana-Sass-A-Frass
Typically you will find Carrie Clark performing with her band of over 20 years, the Lonesome Lovers. But this will be a rare chance to catch Carrie performing her musical brand of Americana-sass-a-frass showcasing her songs of human foibles, seductive chanteuses, country lullabies and mischievous dance hall inspirations in a more intimate setting. “Clark belts it out like a cabaret singer, but her songs incorporate so many styles of music–tango, jazz, classic country–that calling her a folk songwriter feels like a half-truth…Whether she’s singing a song that sounds like a number from an obscure forgotten musical or a straightforward folk tune, Clark always sounds just like herself.” Seattle Weekly.

Genre: Edgy alt-folk/singer-songwriter

After graduating from college, fighting forest fires all over the west, and getting some heartbreak in, she settled in Seattle and started doing some open mics. It was finally after seeing mutual friend Brandi Carlile play that she got the guts up to put a band together and make an EP. Then a full-length CD “Perfect Chaos”. The single “Paper Tiger” from that CD was Runner Up for Song of the Year (Songoftheyear.com). She was one of the Top 15 finalists in Carla DeSantis’ (Rockergrl) “Discoveries” Contest and has played the Viper Room in Hollywood, showcased twice at SXSW in Austin, TX, and solo-toured the West Coast and Ireland.
