We hope you will accept our invitation to join this beautiful, collective experience, sharing food, films, music, and conversation.NADA ROSANada Rosa is the moniker of musician and filmmaker Brandi Diaz. She will be debuting her latest film work, OCEAN // SONGS, an experimental visual essay that documents tender, poignant moments of her family during a trip to Santo Domingo in December 2021. The film will be accompanied by an improvised live score, by Nada Rosa, accompanied by Josh Pehrson on percussion.APRIL NICOLEMiami-based April Nicole is a triple threat musician, photographer and filmmaker, casting dreamy spells of looping soundscapes and lush vocal harmonies with her electro-forward sound. Her first time performing in Seattle, April brings her latest single, Lullaby, along with an accompanying debut music video for the single, directed by April.DELUSION BAYThe brainchild of Venezuelan artist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer César Rodríguez offers Nothing can substitute the experience of a live J. Graves show. With comparisons to Sleater-Kinney, Karen O, and Siouxsie And The Banshees, catching a J. Graves show became a goal for music denizens of the Northwest. Along her trajectory Graves annealed other talent with her drive and ideals. Kelly Cifton, perhaps the best bassist (and certainly the most exciting to watch), and the unassuming Aaron MacDonald, who would be a watchmaker --for his distinct timing and style, were he not a drummer.You must be in front of the liquid rhythm section and pounding chords of the band to feel the blast. In performance Graves eyes roll furiously and her jawline sets as she contacts the emotion that produced her songs. She contorts herself around a fender slimline telecaster, and, in fits and starts, springs forth with contagious, inspiring performances.
