Thursday at the Moore had the perfect setting. The room was filled with easygoing music lovers and the feeling spread over the entire room like so much spread butter. Everyone was light and happy as Vusi Mahlasela came on the stage. At first audience members weren't sure what to expect, but Vusi's fun-loving personality put everyone at ease and soon the room was smiling and clapping along to his African-rhythmic music. more ›

Amos Lee is still a somewhat unknown name, but he has been on tour with some greats. Considering his youthfulness, it's quite surprising that he's opened for the likes of Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews Band, and Paul Simon. Much of his influence comes from folk and blues with a dash of jazz thrown in. He's a storyteller with quite a beautiful voice to tell them. He has a new album coming out on the 25th of this month that promises to be the best yet. With guest vocalists including Willie Nelson and Lucinda Williams as well as Calexico doing the backing music. We're really excited about that last bit of news, Calexico and Amos Lee would seem to fit together like pees in a pod. Beautiful melodic tones and a sweet voice to top it off; sounds like the best musical sundae imaginable. Tonight he's going to serenade Seattle with his dulcet tones at the Moore, and trust us--you'll be sorry if you miss out. more ›
