omg Shovels & Rope... I've seen them live a few times, including an in-studio session at our local KEXP station, but this last Manticore tour show was incredible. And they are funny! I saw them at The Neptune. I've also seen Molly Tuttle live at the Tractor Tavern, but I hadn't heard of her before -- I was invited by a friend.
I am so bummed that I didn’t go see S&R on their recent tour. I think it was because of avoiding crowds due to Covid, as I take care of my senior aunt. I should look on YouTube and see if there are clips from their shows to watch. Surely their are. I love KEXP! I’ve been listening to their podcasts for a long time now and watch their in-studio live shows as often as possible. My dream job is to be one of their DJs.
I’ve applied for many marketing/communications/fundraising jobs with KEXP and never get selected. 😭
Yes! Pre-COVID all their in-studio shows were available to a small audience. There is an adjacent sound proof room separated by glass. I don’t know if they’ve allowed audiences back in yet since COVID.
Bryan and I started seeing shows again as soon as venues opened here. All the venues here required masks and proof of vaccination, so we felt pretty good about it. The rules are more relaxed now, but we still mask in public. We go to a lot of shows and it’s something we really missed doing in 2020.
I’m such a fun of Paolo Nutini since his first album. Just gave “Last night in the bittersweet” a try and I thought each song he sounded like a different singer. He’s so versatile and can really flex his range and styles. There are moments when I feel the Ray LaMontagne. Haven’t read thru all your posts yet so not sure if you’ve every written about him but do you remember Alexi Murdoch? At the time I listened to Nutini’s first album I was also listening to Murdoch
I had to remind myself about Alexi Murdoch. I'm listening to his first album as I type this. I did watch a lot of the TV shows his songs were licensed to (every song on his debut has been used in at least one show). His music to me is more nick drake. I don’t hear Paolo Nutini‘s voice, except maybe when Paolo sings quieter.
What was surprising to me is that Alexi hasn’t released any new albums in 14 years. I’m going to go look around and see if maybe he’s been in hibernation for some reason.

And I didn’t know people could attend those in-studio shows! I thought it was for employees, like the Tiny Desk concerts.
