The Emerald Gem

Darla Rae - Craetorus

Darla is such a gem! I had so much fun getting to sit down and chat with her at Hidden Hall. She brought such great energy to our sit down and shined a light on so many great nuggets of inspiration! We talked about how she got started in music, the founding of Craetorus and the deeper meaning behind the bands name, along with the process for their latest EP 'Veiled In Time' and so much more! Be sure to follow them on instagram to catch their next show and listen to 'Veiled In Time' on all streaming platforms for an awesome excursion of rock fusion featuring atmospheric rock sounds blended with soul and R&B.

Lovely Colours (Devin & James)

I had such an awesome time getting to hang with Devin and James of Lovely Colours! These dude have such a great vibe, made me laugh a bunch and really bring a good energy on stage. Little did I know that they have been friends for 20 years! Doing music together since their early teens! So cool! Absolutely epic from them to be on this music journey and rockin out from Juno VFW halls, to Neumos in Seattle. We talked about their start in music, early influences, recording process, writing philosophy and so much more! Be sure to stream their latest single 'Out There' and check out Lovely Colours this year at Capitol Hill Block Party!

Grant Steele (Naked Giants)

Oh my gosh, where to start! I had such an awesome time getting to sit down with Grant Steele, the lead guitarist of Naked Giants, who is now pursuing his solo career with his inaugural album dropping this year.  I’ve been a long time fan of the Naked Giants and Grant‘s guitar work. In Seattle, I don’t know if there’s many who can hold a candle to the way this guy tears up the stage! It was so cool to get to dive into his philosophy, guitar practices, beliefs and the ebb and flows of the artist path!  Grant has a great head on his shoulders on top of being immensely talented and I can’t wait to hear his solo project  ‘Grant Steele’ and see what the future might hold for the Naked Giants!

Kevin Dailly - 'Swavy'

Check out the new spot! We are now shooting episodes at Seattle's best new venue, Hidden Hall; located in Fremont, the center of the universe! I had such a great time getting to hang out with Kevin. He is good people. He carries a magnetic light and is such an awesome person to be around truly a real one! His band Swavy brings such an unwise vibe to Seattle's local mucis scene. Their show curates a care free, let go and get down to dancing vibe that really feels like a party for anyone. Its no wonder Kevin has such an inviting, caring vibe about him as you fell that at his shows. We talk about his life growing up as a musician here in Seattle, the power of health as wealth, his mission for people as an artist and so much more! Be sure to check out Swavy's next show at Hidden Hall Saturday February 21st, and find yourself letting loose and setting yourself free!

Hillary Tusick (Linda From Work)

I had a great time at Baba Yaga getting to dive behind the scenes with Hillary Tusick on the new Linda From Work record! Linda From Work has a wall of sound and this new self titled record captures that energy. I have so much respect for Hillary as she's led Linda From Work for years and accomplished so much with no sign of slowing down. We talk about the new self titled album, facing modern obstacles as a creative business, plans for 2026 and so much more! Stream 'Linda From Work', the third record release from the Seattle based outfit and strongest testament to their sound yet!
