For the month of March we are stepping in to the Seattle music scene which has a diverse history of music, and it is still going strong. “There is an amazing variety of artists ranging from all styles of music who are captivating the Seattle Music Scene. The publicity may not be as noticeable but the creativity is as strong as ever. With an ever changing landscape of technology and corporations, it is no wonder why the local youth are challenging the establishment with a multitude of genres touching on soul, rock, hip hop and folk,” according to Associate Music Supervisor, Ruben Lira. With so many artists to choose from, Ruben as chosen four bands that he says are currently captivating his palate.

Vintage dreamy indie rock. I love how the songs moves back and forth through different variations of moods both edgy yet ethereal. With the multitude of variations, the song twist through, it always returns to the rhythmic drums and playful retro guitar sounds.

With a blues rock vibe harkening back to the glory days of psychedelic blues rock, the song begins with a hypnotic bass line which pushes the song toward its many psychedelic directions.

Track: Ready To Go
A seven piece 60s soul revival. This is Seattle Soul. I saw this group at the Timbrr! Winter Festival put on by Artist Home based out of Seattle, this past January. Their performance of this song was mesmerizing. With the entrance of the Hammond organ, and perfectly timed vocals in synch with every part of the song. This one song, took the crowd back to the era of soul with style. This is the quintessential song, to take anyone away from any worries or concerns in life and to just stop, and enjoy life.
