Silver Treason finally has a brand new album out, and you need to hear immediately.
TONIGHT
Celebrating some of Spokane’s favorite singer-songwriters, the Big Dipper hosts the first
Songwriters Festival. The bill features community musicians the
Marco Polo Collective, The Way Home, Andy Rumsey, Nate Greenburg, Paul Abner, Bradford Little and Gabe Knox. Each artist will have their time in the spotlight, but don’t be surprised if there’s also a bit of collaboration between the acts. The plan is to make this into an annual event. The show starts at 7:30 pm and is $7 at the door.
Local folk rockers
Bristol are set to release an EP recorded over the course of 2014 tonight at the Bartlett. The sound, according to our own Dan Nailen, is full of heartfelt ballads and anthemic rockers, led by songwriter Curran Long’s acoustic and some sweet harmonies from the other boys in the band. Show starts at 8 pm and is $10.
The new live music venue the Observatory, continues making sweet music this weekend
with local alt-rock acts
Von the Baptist, Ampersand, Wind Hotel and Pine League. The show is a $5 suggested donation and is a cancer benefit for longtime Mootsy’s bartender Erin Fasbender. Go check out the space and sound and pick up one of their signature cocktails.
