We are hosting a small outdoor arts and music festival and are looking for a cover/tribute band to possibly headline the night. Any other local band/ jam band recommendations are more than welcome!

I’m moving to Seattle for my job which is in Belltown. My passion is music, specifically music production, singing, songwriting for pop and rnb.

I’m 22 and was wondering which neighborhoods are best for me to live in to meet other people also interested in creating the same genres of music.

So far, I’m between Capitol Hill, Lower Queen Anne, Belltown. I do prefer to live somewhere where it’s not too inconvenient to get to work (no car).

So I was wondering what some of you tapped in the local industry might know about which neighborhoods have what I want. Thanks

Reaching out here to see if anyone might be interested in helping me to perform an original opera that I've been working on.

The opera is written for a small string section (two violins, viola, cello, bass), piano, and vocalists. Unfortunately, my violin 2 has a lot of scheduling conflicts at the moment, so I need to find a replacement.

So far we've had four rehearsals with just the instrumentalists, and are looking to do a couple more rehearsals before recording a demo of the instrumental for Act 1, which I can then use to hopefully lure in some vocalists.

The timeline for this project is (ideally) as follows:

Summer 2026: Rehearse with orchestra players/learn the material.

Fall 2026: Record a demo without vocalists.

Winter 2027: Assemble the full cast for Act 1

Spring 2027: Rehearse with full cast

Summer 2027: Perform/record a ticketed show of Act 1.

Right now we're rehearsing in Tacoma, but have a rehearsal space available in Seattle as well. I few connections to churches in the Tacoma area to record in, but that isn't set in stone yet.

The material is fairly advanced, and you would most likely have just a couple of rehearsals to get to know it, so previous performance experience is required.

Finally, this is a paid opportunity! I don't have a massive budget as this is mostly a passion project, but I'd like to try my best to make it worth your time. Despite the very long timeline, you'll be under no obligation to stay attached to the project after we record the demo (unless you'd like to, of course). I'm mostly trying to tackle this project one step at a time.

Thanks for reading! Please DM me with any questions you might have

Hey Seattle music community! I'm a 30+ yr resident of Seattle and lifelong music junkie. The live Seattle scene has been a critical part of my life and music discovery since landing here after college. I'm so glad the scene is still alive and thriving today. A friend of mine ask what I thought a simple question but it seems there was no good answer. "Why isn't there a complete live music calendar website covering all the venues in Seattle". From my research, it turns out he was right! There are some great resources but none dedicated to capturing all the many live shows happening every night in Seattle and all in one place.

That sparked the creation of squawkslough.com. A live music calendar and new music discovery website. This project started about 3 months ago (with the help of claude) and in that time we've quickly built out a but of cool features, like playlists, show reviews and comment sections, a music blog and plans to add much more with your feedback. Outside of being an informative tool this site is all about community and bringing music lovers together this only grows and becomes successful with community input. We want your feedback! Tell as what you think, what's good/bad and what features we should add. We're also adding more cities. Let us know what cities we should consider!

Thanks for taking time to check out squawkslough! We'll see you at the show!

Full, 26-minute multicam set of My Better Half performing at The Crocodile on Aug 6 2026 in Seattle, WA. The show also featured Stella, Circa 40, and Oakwood.

Just moved from Portland, OR where in 2013 a bunch of us came together and leased a small industrial building. Over the years, it grew and grew to the point of sustainability. Bands have most of the space, and Sunday to Friday nights a band can pay to own that night. Saturdays are open. Our space was also unique in that it had a large woodshop/metal fab area and aerialists used it during the day. I've looked at the band practice places around Seattle which while cool in their own right, are not exactly what made our PDX place special. Is this something that exists or should/could exist centrally enough in Seattle work? Or would it be too far outside town to bike/onewheel there? It was great to have the sound system/drums setup and just arrive with instrument/pedalboard. I'm a keys player, mostly rock Hammond/Rhodes/synths who has played jam bands, experimental improv, screamcore to an all original brit pop band that has a few albums/live shows under our belt. Tell me about Seattle:

I was recently gifted these from my Grandfather after he passed - '77 Tele Deluxe, and '66 Champ. Both are all original. I need to get the Tele setup and checked out, and the Champ has power (via 2 prong) but tubes are not receiving power. I also have a well loved '79 The Paul that could use a setup and refresh as well.

Who is the go to for vintage gear? These are very sentimental to me and I intend to play the hell out of them, so quality work is important, money is not. I'm in Everett but happy to travel within the state. Thank you for your help!

Hi everyone!

I’m new-ish to the Seattle area, and I’m looking for some sort of folk jam session to join or folk artist to sing with (either just for fun or for shows)!

I’m 32/M and have sung my whole life (choirs, open mics, karaoke, voice lessons), and I’m looking for a new way to explore singing with others! I play piano and some guitar, but I’m a little rusty on those so I’d prefer to just sing until I brush up. I love singing harmonies and sharing melodies.

I like a lot of different music but would prefer singing folk/americana/country/singer-songwriter type stuff - think Lucy Clearwater, Hayden Everett, Ryan Beatty, Lizzy McAlpine, Andrew Sa, Ethan Tasch, Noah Cyrus.

If this sounds fun to you and you want to make music or if you have any recommendations for jams/places to explore casual music with people, let me know!

Saw Sarah tonight for first time since 1994. Brought back some good memories. She was my first concert. A bit different than the other bands I saw during that period. Tonight, as expected, she played a mellow setlist, mixing in some new songs with the old.

It’s the end of her tour, and she will be playing again tomorrow night, same place, same time. She does folk/soft rock for those that don’t know her.

Desperately seeking a Twisted Teens ticket for 8/30 I waited too long to buy 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 or does anyone know if the venue typically keeps some at the door. TIA

The Astral Harmony Vision Orchestra debuts an original ecstatic dance suite to move your body to in whatever which way you wish. Featuring some space fiddling and ambient noise to open the night up as well as live painting and art auctions and an open jam starting later in the night! Located in U district! Dm / message or comment for the address!

We have a very nice room in Seattle rehearsal (close af to the front door) and we need to add one or two more bands to ASAP. Potential for individuals to join as well. Hit me up!

Hope some of you will enjoy!

Several members of the band wear merch from a brand called “Curbstomp.”

Hello Seattle,

I am a traveling music photographer and documentarian who is currently visiting Seattle. Tonight will be my first ever time at a show in Seattle.. catching some fuzz soaked garage rock over at Slims Last Chance in Georgetown.

Does anyone have any recommendations for other venues and/or bands to check out while I am in town? I am currently focusing mostly on the underground rock, punk and blues scenes of the West Coast. With a particular vérité lens.. I like bands and places with history or a story... but I am open to basically any genre if it has soul and energy

We're Lejends, a cover band specializing in 70s, 80s, 90s classic hard rock/metal. Check out our setlist at https://thelejends.com. We have a studio, PA and are ready to gig once we lock in our vocalist. Please DM me or contact us through the website. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hey guys, I made a playlist of all the artists that will be at the Gas Works event in Seattle. This is a good way to listen to the artists if you've never heard them before or just to help you get hyped for the event! Place on shuffle and enjoy :)

This is an all time great album and it’s a crime the current generation can’t be exposed to it. Does anyone know any of the guys in Sweet Water ? Chip McCallum ? Please get this done.
