Watch our videos of each song and some cover songs on the show page: https://www.ourpnwmusic.com/podcast/032 [https://www.ourpnwmusic.com/podcast/032] We love Savanna Woods so much that we invited her onto the podcast again .... only this time she brought her friends and took over. A major theme that weaves throughout Savanna Woods’ world is “community”. Whether it be through her family, friends, church, followers or her musical tribe ..... she’s happiest when surrounded by those she loves. So in November of 2020, Savanna brought some of her musician kinsfolk to meet us at Katt’s Westside Stories in Mount Vernon, WA for another episode of the podcast. On the cajón is Dr Sweets (Andrew Sweeting), on the piano is Andrea Fountain and on the violin is Mandy Weeda. Although Savanna has played numerous times with each one of these musicians, it was the first time all four have played together as a group. We hope you enjoy the music as much as we did.

Creamsicle is made up from the melting pot of cultural heritage expected in our home of the Pacific Northwest. We talked with vocalist Lacey Quincy about the band and played some of their new songs. This four-piece band provides an eclectic blend of Pop, Punk, Rock and Blues, bringing a unique style to the music scene unrestrained by any one genre. Not in on the interview portion of the episode are the rest of the band; Derek Stevens lead guitarist/vocals, Tristan Beaman Bassist/vocals and Peter Najar drums. From website about the EP Just A Taste: After a year and a half of attempting to record these songs ourselves, we bit the bullet and hired a professional because we felt our supporters deserved more than self-produced garage recordings. Thanks to Richard Williams of Plumtree Recording Studio we were able to achieve our vision and produce a product that we feel is worthy to be heard. Like a Creamsicle on a hot Summer’s day this EP is refreshing, sweet, zesty with hints of Pop, Punk, Rock and Folk. WIth a variety of flavors and sounds this EP will satisfy your appetite and leave your mouth watering for more! Just A Taste is just that: a compilation of the first songs we wrote together, a stamp of our starting point as a band and a vision for what we have to offer as artists. Dedicated to our family & friends who have supported us through this roller coaster of a journey by showing up to shows, sharing our hype, allowing us to make noise in their garages and backyards. We simply cannot thank everyone enough.

In 1997, Robert Sarazin Blake dropped out of college and hit the road. The folk music of his father’s house had combined with the DIY punk ethos of the day and produced his first album, ‘Another Irrelevant Year.’ For two decades, Blake toured across the US, Canada, Ireland, Germany, and beyond performing concerts to small groups of people in small rooms. In 2017, Blake released his 11th album ‘Recitative,’ which earned an A- from The Dean of American Rock Critics, Robert Christgau, who writes, “Chants that riff on the titles WORK, COUPLES, and SINGLE WOMEN are as instantly indelible as the Springsteen, Weill, Reed, and Van Morrison lifts woven in.” Blake’s latest release, ‘Ukrainian Phone Call,’ features Canada’s beat-boxing harmonica poet, C.R. Avery, who drives the band into discord as Blake sings the news of presidential corruption. — From Robert’s website Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/robertsarazinblake [https://www.facebook.com/robertsarazinblake] Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/robertsarazinblake/ [https://www.instagram.com/robertsarazinblake/] YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBKsWkKe33Hrh3TQPJdMN_A [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBKsWkKe33Hrh3TQPJdMN_A] Website:https://robertsarazinblake.com/home [https://robertsarazinblake.com/home] Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7w1cIWvRkIH85psvV9zUFg?si=PXPOFAYQRgKWnxBnaE-ysw [https://open.spotify.com/artist/7w1cIWvRkIH85psvV9zUFg?si=PXPOFAYQRgKWnxBnaE-ysw]

Mike Simmons is on to talk about his new EP “Ruby”. We play all the songs and talk about his music career. From his website- Alternative Rock singer/songwriter Mike Simmons began writing songs and poems when he was a down-and-out kid looking for ways to make money.  Writing was the first to catch for Simmons and he began reading his poems to homeless kids on the street and dancers on the late shift at a strip club where his friends worked. This led to meeting a group of musicians one night who recognized Simmons’ ability to create and urged him to take writing and music more seriously. In the years since, Simmons has developed into an emotive songwriter and creator, playing his own music, as well as curating the creation of others across the country in venues ranging from clubs and halls to adult video stores. His writing ability and melodic instincts quickly drew notice from emerging producers who hired him to groom the artists they were recording. During this period, Simmons began drifting into the fine arts and contemporary subculture communities in Cambridge and New York.  His writing, both in prose and song began to explore the thin line between the gritty life he had arrived in and the glamorous one that was beginning to embrace him in the evenings. This tension followed him to Los Angeles culminating in Simmons' debut album Sunburn, a ten-song effort tracked in two days that narrates Simmons' early days on the west coast. Sunburn sings of days spent with the almost-stars of the new LA and nights spent with the more familiar junkies, prostitutes, and other street people if only, according to the ones around Simmons, because they slept as infrequently as he did. As of 2020, Simmons can be found mostly in a small studio in Seattle, releasing underground albums in The Voyeur Room and editing poetry and free format fiction for writers between trips across the country checking in on artists he continues to help shape.  A rumored sophomore full length release “Defamed” has potential to release in winter 2021 with early comparisons to a sun soaked Psychedelic Furs, Laurel Canyon rock meeting Ride in the best way possible, and a Sub Pop record, if Sub Pop started in LA in the 70’s and took more acid and ketamine. Simmons and his seemingly constant grip on "cool" continues to prove he is one the most important emerging songwriters and artists currently working anywhere today. The rare ability to recognize things with true staying power, sometimes before they appear to happen, makes everything that catches Simmons ear exciting to watch come into fruition -Saint John Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/officialmikesimmons/ [https://www.facebook.com/officialmikesimmons/] Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/officialmikesimmons/ [https://www.instagram.com/officialmikesimmons/] Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/artist/73M1O2jponQ6zcpAkVCzxx?si=icWd1iBwSh2DgMjhTCZMXw [https://open.spotify.com/artist/73M1O2jponQ6zcpAkVCzxx?si=icWd1iBwSh2DgMjhTCZMXw] Website:https://mikesimmonsmusic.com [https://mikesimmonsmusic.com]
