A little Lucinda Williams, a little Tori Amos, a little Norah Jones, a little Emmy-Lou Harris. Amy LaVere is country music with teeth. As Spin Magazine says, “Part winsome alt-country gal, and part avenging angel.” She will steal your heart!

With songs like “Blow ‘Em Away,” “No More Mr. Nice Guy” and “Talk to My Lawyer,” Chuck Brodsky initially attracted attention for his biting sarcasm. But, as his albums demonstrate, Brodsky is equally skilled at storytelling , and his lifelong love affair with the national pastime has landed him in the archives of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York .

Seattle’s country darling has gone nation-wide, and rightfully so! When it comes to sincere, humble yet humbling Americana – or just plain country music in the truest, best sense of the word, Zoe Muth sounds more like she hails from the black hills of Oklahoma than the back roads of Ballard. Yet this Seattle native is becoming as popular in the heartland as the left coast, and those who’ve had the pleasure of seeing her at the Treehouse before aren’t wasting any time getting tickets again, so hurry!
Zoe Muth has been called “Seattle’s own Emmylou” because her voice is as clear as a country spring and the simple, elegant lyrics she pens match this siren perfectly. The sparse yet choice arrangements of her seasoned band further justify the comparisons to Loretta or Patsy, and her disarming stage presence will win your heart!
