One of my favorite songwriters came by Locals Only this week. David Bazan was in studio to talk about reviving Pedro The Lion and his new album Phoenix . It’s been 15 years since the last Pedro The Lion album, Achilles Heel , was released and just like anything else David Bazan makes, I am all the...

For the last Locals Only of 2018 I was joined by Kevin Sur of Artist Home Booking and Kenneth Darling of the band Local Liars to discuss the Artist Home New Years Eve party (which has now happened) and the 2019 Timbrrr! Winter Music Festival. Timbrrr! is happening in Leavenworth, WA on January 25th...

Supported by Rainier Beer I haven't even finished making my best of 2018 lists yet but local wizard Michael Lerner has already got me thinking about what is sure to be one of the best albums of 2019. Yesterday Merge records announced that on February 22nd Seattle band Telekinesis will be releasing...

Supported by Rainier Beer Skating Polly was back on the show Sunday night while we played more songs from their 2018 release The Make It All Show . They also took some time to remind me that their home state of Oklahoma stole my basketball team. I have forgiven them for this assault and encourage...

Supported by Rainier Beer Sunday night I spent the first hour of Locals Only playing songs from some of my favorite releases of the year. Tracks from Damien Jurado, Jenn Champion, Ruler, Tres Leches, Tellers, Skating Polly and many more. In the second hour I was joined by local band Sloucher. We...
