The Doe Bay Sessions Team ::: portrait by Hilary Harris Another Tuesday has passed with no new video, which means I'm sitting here missing The Doe Bay Sessions and reflecting in wonder that they happened at all. For the folks involved with the technical side Doe Bay Sessions, they have another nickname: the serendipity sessions. Everything [...]

Curtains for You at Coot's Corner ::: photo by Josh Lovseth All anyone can hope for is for their first time to be special and sweet. That was certainly the case for us when it came to the first Doe Bay Session, which we filmed with the Gervais brothers of Curtains for You. Despite a comedy [...]
The audience filtered into Neumos from the rainy, wet and humid night only to find the rain and humidity was able to sneak in as well. The condensation inside caused water to drip onto the crowd from the pipes above. This was perfect weather for Massy Ferguson's CD release party though. Hard Water , their second album, is an impressive collection of diverse, working class roots rock. The show also marked milestones for opening bands Cody Beebe and the Crooks and Curtains For You as both groups rocked the Neumos stage for the first time. [...]
If the cornucopia of choices Bumbershoot gives you doesn't satiate your taste for live music or if you just want to keep the party going longer, there are a couple recommended kick-off and after parties happening around Seattle. Fellow local blogger and friend Travis Hay is hosting two official Bumbershoot parties. First off is a kick [...]
Doe Bay Campfire::: Photo by Josh Lovseth This year's Doe Bay mainstage was home to some of the Pacific Northwest's higher profile bands, but the mainstage was just one of many places music was made. Each stage has it's own character: the patio stage overlooking the bay for the sunny lunch and afternoon hour, the cafe [...]
Doe Bay Fest ::: Photo by Josh Lovseth Before I go any further, I just want to ask for your forgiveness. Gentle reader, everything (and I do mean everything) I am about to describe or attempt to recall about Doe Bay Festival, will not have proper justice done to it. Over the next couple hundred words [...]
The Head and The Heart Sunset Session ::: photo by Abbey Simmons As you will soon read here on Sound on the Sound, Doe Bay 2010 was one of the most magical experiences of our lives. (Narrowly edging out last years' Doe Bay Fest for "best weekend ever.") Not only were we surrounded by friends, family [...]
Magic Mountains ::: photo by Josh Lovseth Sometimes, it feels like a week of local line-ups were made just for me, but few have ever felt more so than this coming week of wall-to-wall wonderful local line-ups. There are always great shows happening in Seattle, but this week is extraordinary. Here's what I recommend you check out [...]
Doe Bay Lawn 2009 ::: photo by Josh Lovseth Each step closer to the San Juan Islands ferry and Doe Bay is a very good thing, and the availability of tickets is definitely the step we've been anticipating for a little while now. Lucky you, we're the first to get those details for our favorite local [...]

A great line-up for a great cause. In our opinion, you couldn't ask for more. Each year you can count on Noise for the Needy delivering on both counts, in a festival that never lacks in talent or spirit. This year, with national acts like The Album Leaf, John Vanderslice and Horse Feathers as well as [...]
Curtains For You ::: photo by Abbey Simmons The thing about favorites, is they're not necessarily the "best." Take this shot of Curtains For You that I absolutely adore. I could list ten technical things I'd like to change about the photo (focus, framing, tone, etc...) but with all its flaws it is still one of my [...]
![Curtains For You: What a Lovely Surprise to Wake Up Here [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2201652_lg.jpg)
Seattle pop music has always seemed a bit off-kilter. Still, the birthplace of Grunge has birthed a few outstanding pop artists. What A Lovely Surprise To Wake Up Here may not have taken Curtains For You into that realm yet, but it properly demonstrates that the band is heading in the right direction. There's an undeniable 60s and even early 70s pop sound here, but it also sides on contemporary, blending the then with the now for added cohesion. The melodies are [...]
Thanksgiving is all about coming to the homeland and taking time with family, and this year many of our town's recent favorites and up-and-comers are doing just that by joining forces to keep a usually quiet weekend very entertaining. Black Friday at the Showbox at the Market is a doosie of an all-ages triple bill, with [...]
Curtains For You ::: all photos by Abbey Simmons Last night Curtains For You played to a crowd that treated them like the pop sensations they well may become. When the band took the stage, women screamed like they were The Beatles. Curtains For You got a bigger reaction just stepping on stage than most bands [...]

Listen, enjoy and then buy if you want to support them!Golden Bloom released their album Fan The Flames back in August when the
