Last night I played Rabbit Box in the market and it was so damn fun. Thanks to @mqultra for bringing out so much talent and amazing people. I drove 609 miles to do it because I was camping off grid with @joemengis for a couple days. But there are some RAD shows yet to come in September and I’m so excited for this very special Minneapolis show at the cedar for @u2fp and a mini tour with @realdonmusic and gosh, the Canlis summer concert series is gonna rip. It just don’t stop! FRONT FOTO X @jjjacobjjjamesmusic

Do It Scared open mic returns to Rabbit Box tomorrow hosted by @mqultra with special guest performer @eric_howk !

Doors at 7pm / music at 7:30 / $7 sliding scale

@eric_howk has been a point guard for countless acts on a global scale. Starting with major label success in the Seattle-based powerpop outfit The Lashes at the age of 19, he has since joined up with heavy hitters such as Dolour, Shelby Earl, Ruler, and many others, all of which led him to a spot with Portugal the Man, with whom he has appeared in over one thousand shows and recorded on multiple releases.

Eric is based in the woods in a remote corner of the Pacific Northwest with his wife Kassandra, two horses, three dogs, and no cats. He is currently touring in support of his first solo LP, titled Skyking.

You might know @mqultra better as Marquetta Miller, front woman of the now-defunct Seattle funk and soul band Breaks and Swells. Bad nights out, broken hearts, and self-reflection sit at the center of Miller’s lyrical universe; MQULTRA is an exploration of her broader musical taste, with nods to power pop, yacht rock, blues and indie rock, while still informed by a deep love for R&B.

Don’t miss BLACK THUNDER tonight with @brittanydavismusic @dvonnelewis and @evflorybarnes with opening set by @mqultra !

Show at 7:30pm
Tickets: $25 GA Seated / $20 Standing Room

Black Thunder is the new studio album by acclaimed Seattle-based artist Brittany Davis. Arriving on Loosegroove Records, a label founded by Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard, the profound, fully improvised, fully realized collection, recalls artists like Nina Simone, Roberta Flack and Rahsaan Roland Kirk in its immersive, incantatory spirit. Produced by Josh Evans, it features Davis on keys and vocals, Evan Flory-Barnes on bass, and D’Vonne Lewis on drums.

The trio — who barely knew each other prior to recording together — improvised Black Thunder in a surge of interactive creativity across two days in the studio. The short window in which to work did away with overthinking and brought each musician’s A-game. Steeped in Black and Afrocentric cultural influences, this is Davis’s most poignant and cathartic work to date.

“Brittany, Evan, and D’Vonne have, in some way, been preparing for this recording all their lives. Honing their instrumental craft and ability, of course — but more importantly, preparing their ears, emotions, and egos to be fully present and create absolutely in the moment,” Evans says. “To listen deeply and respond empathetically. To speak with uncomfortable honesty. To listen, and be vulnerable.”

Davis — who has been blind since birth — arrives at Black Thunder via considerable headwinds. In 2023, she released her debut album, Image Issues, also via Loosegroove Records. It was met by critical hosannas. As NPR’s All Songs Considered put it, “Brittany’s music is a potent expression of hope...giving the listener courage to face the challenges the world throws at them.” And American Songwriter hailed her “voice that would fill the deepest cavern. The blind singer/songwriter is a marvel and not for any reason other than she is dripping with talent and presence.” Davis was featured on ABC’s Good Morning America, which noted, “She uses her music to connect with people and fight for a more inclusive world.”
