Round 2
Tonight (July 18th, 2005) the Q Cafe in Seattle hosted an “Intimate Evening” with Gabe Archer of The Pale Pacific, Graham Travis, and Dana Little of Late Tuesday.
I haven’t seen The Pale in concert before, but after being introduced to their music (by Erin once again) I would definitely love to see them. Gabe (their lead singer) was great, I was really impressed with his musical ability. All three on stage were pretty relaxed and down to earth. I am not familiar with Graham, but he seemed to have some decent stuff as well. Dana was lovely as usual, and I am always impressed with her skill at the keys (especially being able to chime in on other songs). The show was lovely, hearing Gabe and Dana back each other up with some great harmonies was quite pleasant!
Before a few pictures from the show, I thought I should plug the upcoming Woodsong Arts & Music Festival on Orcas Island. There will be a number of performers from Thursday through Saturday including The Pale and Late Tuesday (Jason Harrod was suppsed to be there, but couldn’t make it!). If you need directions / info / etc. check out their website.
And now some pictures from the evening at the Q Cafe.

My sister, the one that lives in Olympia, says that Seattle is so condusive for music lovers. She says anytime you go to a bar there is live music. I live in a small county, but for being so small…we have a lot of interest in music and art. I love going to those intimate music performances like you talk about here. We have a lot of those around here. Great photos, I feel like I was there!

Seattle is a great place for music, you can pretty much find any kind being played almost anywhere. There are some awesome jazz clubs, as well as venues suited for indie music. There is a full spectrum I think.
You are lukcy if your town has such things, the small town that I grew up in didn’t have much at all for that (although it could also be that I wasn’t as interested so didn’t notice… probably a little of both).
Glad you enjoyed the photos!

[…] I have been enjoying The Pale for the past few weeks now. I first heard Gabe alone (at “Round 2″ at the Q Cafe with Dana of Late Tuesday) and enjoyed his guitar, rhodes, and voice stylings (as well as his humerous banter). I still have not heard the band play live (was a day late for Woodsong) but look forward to their upcoming tour for the relase of their new CD (out August 23rd) Urgency (they hit Seattle on August 17th). They are a really nice group of guys and I hoep for the best for them! Stop by their site and check out their stuff. […]

[…] Last night I drove down to Seattle and met up with Erin for Round 10 at the Freemont Abbey: an evening of music from John Van Deusen (and Braydn, both from the Lonely Forest), Joe Day (from Mindhead), and Benji Verdoes (from In Praise of Folly) to benefit The Nature Consortium’s Youth Programs. I was mainly there to see John but was also impressed by both Joe and Benji. Every time I see John perform, I am blown away by his abilities as a musician, song writer, and performer. Although he was a horrible tease, mentioning a new CD project. But John’s dad, Rusty, squashed our hopes, at least for now. The work in progress (”God is Dead”) will be a welcome addition to his two amazing EPs. Benji seemed a little out of his element as he usually plays in a 10 piece band. That being said, he has some really interesting songs with some insightful lyrics. Checking out In Praise of Folly would probably be well worth it. Mindhead is a group that I had heard good things about, never hadn’t actually heard them. If Joe is any indication, the group should be excellent. Plus, he was wearing a Late Tuesday shirt so he already had a plus in my book. The Seattle area has some great musicians! Since I have been in Canada, I haven’t been to the Round in quite a while, but if you would like, you can check out my other Round posts: Round 1: Late Tuesday, Sam Ashworth, Matt Slocum - Round 2: Dana Little, Gabe Archer, and Graham Travis - Round 3: Jocelyn Feil, Aaron Sprinkle, and Sherri Youngward. Also, you can check out my other blog posts of John’s music, pictures and video clips from previous shows. For some pictures and video clips from the night, see below (images are clickable for larger versions). […]
