February 19 – Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light: Sumner’s lyric-forward writing and penchant for snaking chord progressions demand something far beyond folk conventions, highlighting the acrobatic range of her brilliant bandmates Kat Wallace (fiddle) and Mike Siegel (upright bass).Sumner’s songs have been critically acclaimed: winning the 2021 John Lennon Award in the folk category for her song “Radium Girls (Curie Eleison);” earning a spot in the Kerrville New Folk Competition; and being chosen four consecutive years as one of the top Massachusetts entries in NPR’s Tiny Desk Competition. Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light released their debut LP in the summer of 2022 to critical acclaim. The Lottie Doddies, a new project featuring Ethan Lawton (of Western Centuries), Hailey Pexton, Jesse Fichman and Forrest Marowitz (of AJ Lee & Blue Summit), open the evening. 7:30pm (doors 6:30) $20/$25 The Royal Room https://theroyalroomseattle.com/
