McMenamins presents an evening at the Spanish Ballroom with Chris Pierce alongside Lauren Napier. This all ages event brings together two artists devoted to storytelling through song. For more than two decades, Chris Pierce has been a defining presence in American roots music, creating eight solo albums and collaborating widely. His songs shine a light on overlooked lives and hard truths, and his latest album, Songs For The Heavy Hearted, follows everyday people through crisis while affirming that love, joy, hope, and gentleness are essential to perseverance. His outlook is rooted in personal experience, from growing up in an interracial family to overcoming a teenage battle with Otosclerosis that led to total hearing loss before surgery restored partial hearing in one ear. His career spans appearances on NPR programs such as World Cafe and Mountain Stage, performances at major festivals including Newport Folk Festival, AmericanaFest, Folk Alliance, MerleFest, Bottlerock, Calgary Folk Festival, and Vancouver Folk Festival, and tours where he has headlined and shared bills with artists like Neil Young, B.B. King, Al Green, Steve Earle, Seal, Aaron Neville, Jill Scott, Allison Russell, and the Blind Boys of Alabama. Songs For The Heavy Hearted also features contributions from Allison Russell, Steve Earle, Grey DeLisle, and Garrison Starr. Lauren Napier is a songwriter, author, poet, and painter who brings forgotten histories into focus. Drawing on medieval studies at Bowdoin, time spent touring through desert landscapes, and work as a music journalist within the punk scene, she amplifies voices that live outside the usual narratives. Stories of Black cowboys, medieval mystics, and lost burros intertwine with reflections on heartbreak and hope, carried by minor key melodies and a gentle acoustic touch.

STG presents Digable Planets bringing the Blowout Comb 30th Anniversary Tour to the Neptune Theatre in Seattle, with special guest Supreme La Rock. The trio of Ishmael Butler, Craig Irving, and Mary Ann Vieira introduced a distinctive blend of jazz and Hip Hop in the early 1990s, earning a Grammy in 1993 for a breakout single and following with the gold-certified debut album Reachin’ (A New Refutation of Time And Space). That record threaded jazz samples with intricate lyricism, touching on everyday city life and abortion rights, and set the stage for Blowout Comb, a vibrant reflection on Black liberation that gained lasting influence across Hip Hop, young jazz musicians, and Afrofuturist circles. The members went on to explore individual projects in the 2000s, including Butler’s Cherrywine and Shabazz Palaces, Mecca’s work with BROOKZILL!, and Irving’s leadership of Cee Knowledge & The Cosmic Funk Orchestra.

Presented by Showbox, The Blasting Company brings the music of Over the Garden Wall to the stage in a concert centered on the original soundtrack. At the core are brothers Joshua Kaufman and Justin Rubenstein, who began as Nashville street performers and grew into a composing team for film and television. Their style blends American folk and Eastern European influences with orchestral sweep and contemporary ideas. Credits include the animated miniseries Over the Garden Wall, Burlesque, the New York Times and Serial podcast The Kids of Rutherford County, Adult Swim’s The Elephant, and The Crooked Moon, a three-album score for a tabletop campaign. They have also collaborated with Tom Kenny, Haley Reinhart, Jemaine Clement, and Van Dyke Parks. For this performance, a lineup of multi-instrumentalists from The Blasting Company and the California Feetwarmers, including many who played on the original recording, comes together with friends and local special guests. The goal is to honor and expand the soundtrack, to share it as the composers first did... as a collage of distinct artistic voices, a continuation of the traditions that shaped it, and an open invitation for the room to lift a few new old tunes. This event is open to all ages, with alcohol service limited to guests 21 and over.

Game Wizard and Blue Sky Hobbies - Lakewood in Lakewood, WA presents a Necromunda skirmish campaign set amid the Navis Mortis and Gothrul’s Needle. Centuries ago, a bitter struggle for Necromunda’s throne ended with Lady Cinderak victorious, Lord Gothrul locked within the Needle, and the Eye of Selene directing all commerce through Hive Primus. Ships that tried to slip the net were blasted from the sky, littering the wastes around the Needle with wrecks that became the Navis Mortis. Palanite Enforcers patrolled the crash zone, yet scavengers still sought their chance among the debris. Players build gangs with 1000 credits, with up to 150 more credits available for mounts and vehicles. The campaign runs across two territory maps, the Navis Mortis and the Underhive of the Needle. Mounts and vehicles are permitted in Navis Mortis battles, but not within the Needle. Each participant begins with a starting territory and one additional territory. The Occupation Phase spans three cycles. During this stage, players issue challenges to different opponents each cycle when possible to contest territory. Victories add 2D3×10 credits to the winner’s Stash and increase Reputation by 1. Defeats add D3×10 credits to the Stash. A draw grants D3×10 credits to both gangs. Completing a Side Job adds D3×10 credits. Only unclaimed territories can be taken as battle rewards. A one cycle Downtime Phase follows, allowing gangs to recover, re-equip, and recruit. Each gang receives 250 credits to spend immediately on items from their Gang Equipment List or the Trading Post and to hire new models during the Post-cycle sequence. These credits must be used now and cannot be added to the Stash, though Stash credits may supplement them. The Takeover Phase then runs for three cycles as gangs defend their holdings. A win grants 2D6×10 credits and +2 Reputation. A loss grants D6×10 credits. A draw grants D6×10 credits to both sides. Losing a territory reduces Reputation by 1. Only already claimed territories can change hands as rewards in this phase. The campaign concludes with a final cycle of battles. Matchups are paired by Reputation from highest to lowest, with ties broken by Stash credits and then by battles won. All final clashes take place in the Ash Wastes of the Navis Mortis. Trading Post rules are customized for this event. During each Post-cycle sequence, any fighter can visit the Trading Post. Items with a TP of 0 are always available. For items with a TP of 1 or higher, roll a D6 for each item you seek; a successful roll means the item is in stock.

Presented by The Crocodile and Abbey Arts, Bedouine brings an evening of intimate folk to Ballard Homestead in Seattle, with support from Other Delights. Bedouine is the project of songwriter Azniv Korkejian, whose delicate, guitar-rooted songs have drawn praise from major music outlets, an NPR Tiny Desk appearance, and tours with artists such as Fleet Foxes and Father John Misty. Her new album, Neon Summer Skin, reflects on childhood, family, and the complicated pull of growing up, shaped by a visit to her parents in Saudi Arabia. The writing leans into specific, personal memories and considers a family history that spans Armenia, Syria, and Saudi Arabia, tracing themes of displacement, belonging, and the ongoing work of finding home. Expanding her palette, Korkejian returned to instruments she learned as a kid, highlighting piano and bringing in valved brass alongside flute, strings, and organ. She made most of the record with longtime collaborator Gus Seyffert, with additional contributions from Jonathan Rado and Michael and Brian D’Addario of the Lemon Twigs. The songs nod to classic pop craftsmanship from Todd Rundgren, Karen Carpenter, and Carole King, while weaving in hints of psychedelia, bossa nova, and jazz. Tracks like the contemplative opener On My Own and the airy Na Na Na balance grief with a sense of renewal, and Canopies threads in her mother’s voice to honor family stories. Ballard Homestead is an all ages, mostly seated venue with a quiet, respectful atmosphere. The space is partially ADA accessible and welcomes service animals as defined by the ADA. Guests are asked to limit photography, enter and leave quietly, and keep any picnics discreet. Light snacks and non-alcoholic beverages may be available for purchase, with no bar service.

He learned to sing in his grandfather’s Church of Christ, first gained attention with the duo Sons of Fathers in 2009, and went on to release My Gospel, Room 41, Country Coming Down, and Black on Black, revealing a candid writer with a fiery Texas attitude.

Release descends into watery depths to dissolve tension and outdated stories. Surrender rests within fertile darkness, letting silence act as medicine while intuition awakens. Ember gently rekindles warmth, resilience, and vitality. Ether opens into wide resonance that integrates body, heart, and spirit. There is an enduring spark within and a stillness ready to hold it.
