Noah Gundersen Show Recap
Congrats to Kyle Jones for winning the tickets to Noah’s show at the Columbia City Theater. Here’s a little recap from Kyle:
A Family Ordeal
Noah Gundersen’s CD release at Columbia City Theater was a family engagement and the perfect thing to get away from the city grind during Seafair festivities. Sister Abby was on stage playing in both the opening acts as well as with Noah for the whole show. The second opener Le Wrens is comprised on three Gundersen’s including Elizabeth, Jonathan, and Abby, with close friends Kale Lotton and Michael Porter rounding out the band. There twist of folk and country, singer song writer style perfectly prepped the crown for Noah’s set. Le Wrens, although young, played a very polished set with all original music, except for a cover of Johnny Cash’s song, Folsom Prison Blues which really got the crowd going. On to Noah….the twenty two year old never ceases to amazing me. Him and Abby accompanied by his first opener, Zach Fleury, who played percussion throughout the first half of Noah’s set, wowed the crowd with beautiful stories, acoustic awesomeness, and vocals beg you to picture his songs as he sung them. Its hard to pin point the feeling you get when you hear him play but its like you can actually hear what his soul is saying. It was definitively a night to remember and a reason to look forward to the winter when Noah will be releasing a full length album. Thanks to Le Grand Cru for hooking me up with tickets and a free signed CD. And if you haven’t heard Noah Gundersen please check out his bandcamp and facebook pages, listen to his music and catch his next show, you will not regret it.

FIRE ON THE VINE

I’ve been going to Bryan John Appleby shows since I saw him on the Campfire OK‘s album release bill in February. Bryan delivers on his own and doesn’t lose a thing when he’s joined by his band. Seatown has been anticipating a full length for some time now and the good news is that his Kickstarter is ALMOST funded. We really enjoy talking about artists we like, doing collabs with them, and putting the biggest spotlight on them that we can muster. We can’t wait to get our Vinyl / Handmade Poster / Personal Mix from our pledge. Please watch his short kickstarter video below and join us in helping Bryan succeed!
