Campfire OK isn't just a bunch of pretty faces, they've got a unique blend of vocal, banjo, guitar, piano and percussion that brings people in and gets them dancing. Mychal Cohen may be the face of the band, but the incredible talent of each member is what makes this group great. Morgen takes us to their performance at Capitol Hill Block Party earlier this year. more ›

Morgen takes us back on the road up to Bellingham at Wild Buffalo once again. Allen Stone has an unforgettable look and voice but the two don't exactly seem like they go together; She says, who cares. Whatever package that kind of natural talent and raw emotion comes in we'll take it! more ›

Morgen takes us back to Bumbershoot once again for KEXP's special lounge session with none other than local soul sweethearts Pickwick. Sold out shows left and right, Doe Bay mainstage, and nods on NPR are just the beginning for this incredible group. more ›

Morgen is choosing some very personal favorites to round out this month's countdown. Jake Hemming, otherwise known as Big Sur, is one of the nicest, most generous and warm-hearted people you'd ever meet not to mention one hell of a singer and songwriter. Today's photo is from Big Sur's show with The Local Strangers, Shenandoah Davis and Hannalee at Columbia City Theatre. more ›

Morgen has had the unbelievable opportunity to get to know many talented local musicians. She counts The Local Strangers amongst some of her closest friends and over the past year she's been able to watch their success grow exponentially. Their most recent show at Columbia City Theatre seemed to be their best yet and at this performance Morgen captured some of her favorite moments of this fantastic group. more ›

Today's photo is one of Seattle's greats, Eddie Vedder, during his recent performance at Benaroya Hall. He has ventured into solo-dom with a ukelele at his side. Though tentative about how well that would work, Morgen was impressed and awed at his voice and musical talents. more ›

Today Morgen takes us a few months back to the Bumbershoot music festival. One of the most surprising performers of the weekend was Charles Bradley. He's a kickback to the old days of rock and blues and holy cow does he know how to put on a show. more ›

Sting is a legend, there's no denying that even if you don't like his music. The Police and his solo career have inspired countless musicians. Morgen had the chance to photograph him less than a month ago at the Paramount Theatre. She may have been nervous, but it was and incredible experience. more ›

Duff McKagan's group Loaded opened up the night for an epic night of music at the Key Arena last Friday. Then the headliner, Guns and Roses, finished out the night with what had to be one of the best rock shows of the year. Alex dropped us a few bits of photographic evidence from that night we think you'll want to see. more ›

Morgen is taking you up to Bellingham for today's shot at Wild Buffalo. That venue is quickly becoming our favorite out of town spot to catch shows. They've seen Macklemore, Allen Stone, Kris Orlowski and so many more including today's band Hot Bodies in Motion. more ›

Day sixteen in our countdown is set during Capitol Hill Block Party in Neumos. The Lumineers were one of Morgen's big favorite unknown finds for 2011. They're don't even have a full-length album (soon to come) but continue to blow away audiences at every show. more ›

Morgen takes us once again down to Portland for MusicFest Northwest. This time she goes with a more artistic photo of a killer Canadian band, The Handsome Furs. She recounts one of her favorite shows of the entire festival that occurred on her birthday no less. more ›

Looking for a way to give back this holiday season but still feel like you're getting something other than a good feeling? Head out to Gigs4Good show with Drew Grow and the Pastor's Wives, Lower Lights Burning and Chris Cunningham (of Ravenna Woods) at the Tractor tomorrow. It's going to be a great time and will help satiate your charitable side. more ›

Day twelve is upon us and Morgen is taking a nostalgic turn. Shonen Knife has been a mainstay in Japanese pop music for twenty years and our photographer got caught up in their magic web in high school. They're just as fun and full of energy two decades later as you can see in today's photo. more ›

Day ten in the photo countdown takes us to the newest venue in the city, the Neptune Theatre. City Arts was somehow pulled off another amazing festival lineup for the second year in a row. Morgen talks about one of her favorite groups pulling you into a show with the Hold Steady. more ›

Day eight of our countdown in photos is here and you're in for a treat. As we sift through the last year's photos all the memories come rushing back and Morgen is excited to share those with you. Today she takes you back to down to what was Qwest Stadium with the most massive show we have seen in Seattle for a long time, if ever, with U2. more ›

Day seven of our countdown in photos has arrived and things are heating up. The standouts are obvious, but it's getting difficult to sift through and choose only enough for one each day. Morgen takes you back to September in the frenzy of the festival season with Little Dragon more ›

Day six of the 2011 countdown in photos is here and the hits just keep on coming. The standouts are obvious, but it's getting difficult to sift through and choose only enough for one each day. Today Morgen takes you north to Chateau Ste Michelle for Bruce Hornsby. more ›

Sting is, as ever, an incredible performer and one of the most well-known musical figures of the century. There's a reason he's sold out two nights at the Paramount with many fans still left out in the cold, ticketless. Last night was a concert Morgen won't soon forget, luckily she snapped some photos so you can reminisce with her. more ›

Day five of the countdown is upon us and there's still a plethora of memorable concert photos from 2011 to share. The standouts are obvious, but it's getting difficult to sift through and choose only enough for one each day. Today Morgen heads south a bit to Showbox SoDo with Mos Def and Black Star. more ›

It's day number two in the countdown of great concert shots in 2011. There were so many to choose from but the standouts are pretty obvious. Today Morgen will take you back to the Paramount for Bon Iver's sold out show. more ›

Kris Orlowski has one more reason for us to give thanks this week with a cd release show for his new album Warsaw. We've caught a glimpse of what you're in store for and this is a show you don't want to miss. With Hot Bodies in Motion and Smokey Brites rounding out the bill it's the best show you'll see all week (if not all month). more ›

Shonen Knife is another of those bands that have been a persistent whisper in the music industry since the early '80s. So many of my favorite bands from back in the day have returned to the limelight and this one got us the most excited this year. more ›

Don't know about you, but for us the Bangles represent a simpler time in music where pop was about the pain of love and wishing for it back. The twelve-year-old in us is screaming with delight to know The Bangles are back and stopping in Seattle Saturday to take us back in time. more ›

In one short year, the Head and the Heart has gone from unknown to national sweethearts. Opening for another group of locals who made it big, Seattle was well-represented Saturday at Key Arena. more ›

Ryan Adams is the whole package. He's adorable with a hipster haircut flipping to the side. He's an incredibly talented vocalist and songwriter. He knows how to make fun of himself and the audience while still keeping an air of charm and wit. Did we mention he's an incredible musician? The sold out Benaroya Hall was dead silent for the entire two hours he performed and for good reason. more ›

Don't stop believin'--you can probably find a scalper with some tickets. more ›

After the sun set and people started to drink at the festival shows, things got a little weird. From other musicians jumping on stage to trapeze artists, we just didn't know what to expect as the night went on. Whatever it was, we had a great time despite the craziness (or maybe because of it). more ›

Have you been incredibly excited to see St. Vincent but don't want to pay for tickets, handling and fees? Do you want to see an awesome show for free but don't know how to fullfill such a wonderful dream? Well, we can help. We're giving away two tickets to see St. Vincent this Thursday at the Neptune Theatre. more ›

Tomorrow the Reverb Festival descends upon Ballard once again. If last year was any indication, rain puts a real damper on running back and forth between venues but we've got the list of shows sure to get you out of your fall funk and into the bars. more ›
