Counterculture Icon, Lydia Lunch is bringing her Spoken Word Showcase “ Sister Witches of Seattle “ to the Rabbit Box this June for a unique experience, giving voice to words that scratch deeper than skin.

Queen of No Wave, muse of The Cinema of Transgression, writer, musician, poet, spoken word artist and photographer, she has released too many musical projects to tally, has been on tour for decades, working with such luminaries as Rowland S. Howard, Thurston Moore, Omar Rodriguez Lopez, Jerry Stahl, The Last Poets, and Hubert Selby JR.

Loosegroove Records presents Brittany Davis Album Release “ Black Thunder” featuring Brittany Davis, Evan Flory Barnes & D’Vonne Lewis at The Rabbit Box on June 17th

Doors 5pm / Artists Reception 6pm / Music begins at 7:30pm

$18 adv. / $20 door: https://tickets.venuepilot.com/e/brittany-davis-album-release-black-thunder-2025-06-17-the-rabbit-box-theatre-seattle-1b43cb

Black Thunder is the new studio album by acclaimed Seattle-based artist Brittany Davis. Arriving June 13 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.”

Black Thunder marks a shift away from Image Issues’ contemporary soul-funk sound built upon drum machines and programmed keys; instead opting for a fully live, organic performance, one that showcases her stylistic maturation, pure expression and the breadth of her versatility.

 The Rabbit Box presents Summer Solstice Show featuring Brenna Bruce + Bad Posture Club + Sophia Corinne + Wiseacre (duo) on June 20th.

Doors 7pm / Music 8pm

Brenna Bruce is a singer-songwriter based in Seattle. Following a path of curiosity and introspection, her music moves with a quiet power, balancing sharpness and tenderness with an understood patience. Bruce pulls from the tradition of vulnerable folk through delicate and crystalline vocal prowess akin to Courtney Marie Andrews and Emmylou Harris, with the simplicity and focus of Gillian Welch’s storytelling. On her forthcoming debut EP Honest Bloom, Bruce weaves ambling stories of the heart with peripheral landscapes passing through the deserts, rivers, and mountains of her past in the southwest, and present in the Pacific Northwest. Honest Bloom inhabits spaces of liminality and cyclical growth, spinning themes of connection, belonging, and becoming, with lilting pedal steel and string arrangements, tethered by pulsing percussion and the intentional delivery of Brenna’s vocal harmonies carrying each sentiment to fruition. Honest Bloom is a capsule of time, reckoning with the ever-unfolding path of being and learning life’s lessons, and Brenna Bruce is an artist burgeoning with timeless truths. https://www.brennabrucemusic.com/

Bad Posture Club is a queer folk duo made up of Maren Day and Morgan Kavanagh, collaborators for over 10 years. Together they craft intricate and experimental harmonies with their two voices, banjo, guitar, and a 100-year-old pump organ. https://badpostureclub.net/

The Rabbit Box welcomes to Seattle, Grace Pettis & Zach Willdee ~ West Coast Tour 2025, gracing our stage on June 26th!

Doors 7pm / Music begins at 8pm

“Grace has a melodic way of writing that not only stays in your head but reads what’s sitting in your soul. She writes what I’ve always wanted to say.”— Ruthie Foster (Grammy®-nominated blues artist) Grace Pettis’ much-anticipated sophomore MPress Records release, Down To The Letter, captures the Nashville-based (formerly Austin-based) singer-songwriter at the peak of her songwriting powers. Chronicling the end of a marriage and the reclamation of self after betrayal, codependency, and loss with heartbreaking detail, the lyrics deftly toe the line between personal pain and universal catharsis.

Outlaw Country singer Zach Willdee combines energetic performances with his raw talent to bear a voice bigger than his body and stories older than his boots. Growing up in Massachusetts, writing beneath the shade of the New England pines, Zach Willdee began his musical career busking on the street corners of Provincetown, Massachusetts at 14 years old. By age 16, he earned the name “The Barefoot Brother.” Lifeguarding on the Atlantic coast during the day and street performing at night he reflects, “They called me that because I didn’t wear any shoes when I performed on the tarmac. They thought it was the funniest thing that this barefoot lifeguard was playing music.” It wasn’t long before Willdee moved from playing on the tarmac to playing local bars, with lines of people wrapping around the block, waiting to get in.

Willdee says, “I write and perform my music to help myself mentally––as a form of therapy, you could say––and hope that I can help someone relate and know there’s someone else out there sharing their experience.”

It’s not uncommon to see members of the audience singing along to Willdee’s songs at his shows––and they haven’t even been released yet! The slow rollin’ rambler has been captivating audiences for over a decade and shows no signs of putting the breaks on now. Finally laying his fans’ favorites down, Willdee will release his debut singles, “Take the Sign'' (June 9), “Lately” (July 7), and “Shadow Riders” Fall of 2021, with his first album dropping later this fall. Listeners can look forward to tracks layered with the talents of musicians like Adam Duran of Kelsey Waldon’s band (electric and acoustic guitar), American Aquarium’s Neil Jones (pedal steel), Nashville local legend and country singer Tim Bolo (bass), Lucy Cochran (fiddle, backup vocals,) and Chris Weisbecker (drums, producer, and engineer) as well as his own. The multi-talented musician plays guitar, mandolin, bass, and harmonica as well. When he’s not playing the iconic American Legion Post 82 or Dee’s Country Lounge, you’ll find Willdee cooking, gardening, or exploring the great outdoors of Tennessee.

Opera, Flamenco, Blues… Troupe DeVille is truly a love fest, a celebration of 3 lifetimes of artistic dedication coming together to share song, story and virtuosity. Moments of an exquisite Italian aria, blazing Flamenco or sultry soul fill the air among masterful solo performances along with the blending of such distinct sounds into an almost free jazz improvisational delivery. Steve Thoreson (world class tenor, piano) Andre Feriante (Masterful Flamenco, neoclassical, ancient guitars), Eric Fridrich (soulful vocals, guitar, harmonica, percussion)

The Rabbit Box presents Sam Lewis, Claire Conway & Brenna Bruce on July 30th

Doors 7pm / Music begins at 8pm

Sam Lewis has collaborated with everyone from Leon Russell to The Wood Brothers. Chris Stapleton dubbed him “a modern Townes Van Zandt”.  He’s often labeled with some form of the word ‘soulful’ (some have even compared his voice to molasses), Lewis’ style meets at a juncture of many different genres however he’s discovered what most musicians spend lifetimes working for; the place where feel-good music meets vital social commentary.

After spending a nomadic youth throughout the Southeast (USA), he began calling Nashville home in 2009. Since then he’s been joined on his journey by some of music’s most righteous and luminary figures. He has pressed the first few chapters in his career’s studio anthology with the release of his self-titled debut (2012). His sophomore release WAITING ON YOU (2015) features an impressive list of Nashville notables all placing their stamp on this enduring expression of un-compromised songwriting. 

Billboard announced the highly anticipated third studio release third studio release LOVERSITY (2018) and landed Lewis a spot on Rolling Stone’s “10 New Artists to Watch” list, with writer Marissa Moss describing the album as, “… seventies psychedelic soul, with a storyteller’s eye, a swampy Southern groove and an emotional, political punch.” SOLO (released 2020) is a solo-acoustic album recorded at Southern Ground Studios in Nashville in front of a live audience that captures Lewis in his element. HARLEY KIMBRO LEWIS (2022) is a trans-Atlantic collaboration with England’s own Martin Harley and East Tennessee all-star Daniel Kimbro that features a collection of all original material recorded in Nashville. The long-awaited new studio album SUPERPOSITION (2024) irresistibly fuses Americana undertones to hazy dream-like melodies with psychedelic instrumental flourishes. Comprising eight atmospherically captivating originals alongside a compellingly unique take on Dire Straits’ ‘Walk of Life’ This impressive body of work has received critical acclaim and each session has grown with the legendary family for which he has adopted to curate and share his musical inner-vision with his listeners. While each album has a distinct sound, they all circle back to one universal theme and certainly something you will hear Lewis preach to his audience, “we are all trying to get somewhere — all running from something or toward something; we’re all in it together, though.” Website   Video   Music

Raised on country radio in her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina, Claire Conway was drawn to storytelling from an early age. She wrote her first song at ten years old, and soon became eager to grow as an artist in any way she could: painting, writing poems, playing guitar. She would go on to study in an intensive creative writing program at a local high school for the arts, simultaneously crafting her first EP, "Ocean’s Edge", a glimpse into her teenage years in and out of love. Lyrically, Claire Conway is wise, graceful, and honest. Her songs are dreamy, vivid portraits of her life backed by simple riffs, soft harmonies and moody slide guitar. Claire’s evolution as a songwriter was evident in her 2019 EP, "Missing," a cathartic reflection on the birth and death of a relationship and a first taste of life away from home. Claire's latest EP, "Be Good", is both a product of the pandemic and a deeply personal project years in the making. Recorded in a Los Angeles apartment while quarantined, it echoes all-too-familiar themes of isolation and self-discovery, divulging the details with unmatched intimacy. "Amsterdam" is a nod to the narrative at the heart of her last EP, while singles "Be Good" and "I Don't Wanna Be Alone" read more like diary entries, chronicling a story of a young woman discovering herself, the way she relates to others, and her place in the middle of it all. Now living in Seattle, Claire is currently recording her first full-length album, expected in late 2025. Website Video Music

Brenna Bruce is a singer-songwriter based in Seattle. Following a path of curiosity and introspection, her music moves with a quiet power, balancing sharpness and tenderness with an understood patience. Bruce pulls from the tradition of vulnerable folk through delicate and crystalline vocal prowess akin to Courtney Marie Andrews and Emmylou Harris, with the simplicity and focus of Gillian Welch’s storytelling. On her forthcoming debut EP Honest Bloom, Bruce weaves ambling stories of the heart with peripheral landscapes passing through the deserts, rivers, and mountains of her past in the southwest, and present in the Pacific Northwest. Honest Bloom inhabits spaces of liminality and cyclical growth, spinning themes of connection, belonging, and becoming, with lilting pedal steel and string arrangements, tethered by pulsing percussion and the intentional delivery of Brenna’s vocal harmonies carrying each sentiment to fruition. Honest Bloom is a capsule of time, reckoning with the ever-unfolding path of being and learning life’s lessons, and Brenna Bruce is an artist burgeoning with timeless truths. Website Video Music

The Rabbit Box presents Tony Furtado & Stephanie Schneiderman & Special Guests Hanz Araki with Sam Vogt  August 15

Doors 7pm / Music begins at 8pm

$25 adv. / $30 door: https://tickets.venuepilot.com/e/tony-furtado-stephanie-schneiderman-with-special-guest-hanz-araki-2025-08-15-the-rabbit-box-theatre-s-f421b7

Tony Furtado and Stephanie Schneiderman, both veteran musicians - each with their own solo career and over 30 albums between them, are combining forces for an exciting evening fueled by music from each of their newest releases — Stephanie’s stunning and lush Crossfire and Tony's introspective, banjo centered Decembering.

Genre-spanning multi-instrumentalist Tony Furtado combines elements of folk, blues, and bluegrass into a potent Americana musical blend that explores our shared musical frontiers and traditions with fearless creativity. David Lindley calls Tony Furtado "a musical force without a doubt, " and the two-time national banjo champion and peerless slide guitar master has recorded nearly 20 critically acclaimed albums for such labels as Rounder Records, Dualtone, and Yousay Furtado Records. https://tonyfurtado.com/

Whether pursuing her prolific work as an award winning solo artist, playing drums for all-star indie rock act Swan Sovereign (formerly Dirty Martini), producing a humanitarian concert series for refugees in Uganda (raising over $70k) or acting, Stephanie Schneiderman is hands down one of the most diverse female singer-songwriters the Pacific Northwest has to offer. On Crossfire, her latest release, Stephanie combines her past sonic explorations—folk, Americana, trip-hop, and pop—into a beautifully dark and deeply introspective recording that is as lush as it is intimate. Crossfire is a self-released labor of lovethat celebrates her maiden voyage as a self-producer and is possibly her most compelling collection of songs to date. https://stephanieschneiderman.com/

Considered one of the most talented Irish musicians in America today, flautist, whistle player, singer, and Juno Award-winner Hanz Araki has been lauded by publications and audiences alike.  Three decades of musical exploration into Irish, Scottish, Japanese, and American traditions has yielded his distinct style described by Fatea Magazine as “achingly beautiful.” As the sixth generation of his family to bear the title Araki Kodo, Hanz (short for Hanzaburo, his great-great grandfather’s name) spent his formative years mastering the Japanese end-blown bamboo flute.  Discovering and relishing the melodic and mechanical similarities between shakuhachi and Irish whistle, Hanz applied his natural capacity and boundless curiosity to his Irish heritage.  Taking advantage of the rich Irish music scene in Seattle, where he spent his youth, Hanz quickly became known for his exquisite instrumental work on both Irish whistle and flute and a haunting singing voice that was born to tell tales. https://www.hanzaraki.com/

Sam Vogt is a NW artist performing musician, “Tunes on low whistle, guitar, and more inspired by Irish and Scottish musical traditions” https://samvogt.bandcamp.com/album/whistle-tunes

The Rabbit Box presents Chloe Gendrow with special guest, Arthur James, August 29th!

Doors 7pm - Music begins at 8pm

Montana-born, singer-songwriter, Chloe Gendrow, has carved out a unique space where raw emotion meets unfiltered storytelling, blending indie, alt-pop, and folk influences, while tying back to her Montana roots. Time spent living in Alaska has further fueled her exploration into new sonic and thematic territories, having been influenced by the heavy bluegrass and Americana scene up north. She continues to blur the lines between genre and emotion, crafting songs like “Smoke Break” and her March 28th release “Crying in Public”, that feel both deeply personal and universally felt. With over 17 million streams across platforms, Chloe’s music, at its root, is cathartic. It’s the emotional hangover, post-four-hour breakup conversation. The late night drives headed nowhere. The exhale when you finally get to where you’re going. 

Her songs have taken her from the stages of Pilgrimage Festival in Nashville, to opening for Noah Cyrus in Missoula, MT and playing a sold out show in Bozeman, MT at Live from the Divide in March 2025. Chloe can’t wait to be out on the road full time showcasing her music and meeting new fans. Spotify | Instagram | YouTube

He has been featured in Sofar Sounds Seattle and on various music platforms, with a blend of elements of folk, country, and indie rock. https://arthur-james.bandcamp.com/

The Triple Door presents Shannon McNally and Max Gomez at The Rabbit Box on September 24th!

Thom Jurek at All Music said it best, "Only Gram Parsons' term "Cosmic American Music" begins to touch her mercurial, changeling roots aesthetic, ... McNally is a Zen-like, post-Beat song poet”. For those who have followed McNally’s nearly twenty year career the thing that most sticks with the listener about her, is the timeless effortlessness that she brings to all she does. With a long catalog and longer list of peers with whom she has written, recorded and toured, McNally continues to turn out great music that defies blatant genre-fication. 

At home across the American (Americana) music spectrum, the Grammy nominee who’s live music career began on the jam band circuit of the 1990’s with bands like Robert Randolph and Derek Trucks, writes as well as she interprets the songs of others, has a top tier musicality to her craft, a soul stirring voice that immediately grabs one by the heart strings and a troubadour’s wanderlust, not to mention as it turns out, she is also an excellent electric guitar player.

Like her anti-hero heros J.J. Cale, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan. Dr. John, and Jim Dickinson, McNally knows who she serves. She serves the song. Her quiet but steady plodding through the many layers of the business of music, hasn’t ever been rewarded with massive fame and fortune but in time that slow burn has become the treasure in and of itself.

Singer/Songwriter Max Gomez grew up in Taos, New Mexico, where he fell under the influence of country blues early on and developed a songwriting style that was uniquely his. As a budding performer, Max apprenticed in the rarefied musical micro-climate of northern New Mexico, where troubadours like Michael Martin Murphey and Ray Wylie Hubbard helped foster a Western folk sound both cosmic and country.

He received critical acclaim upon the release of his debut album Rule The World (2013, New West Records); and his subsequent EP, Me and Joe (2017, Brigadoon Records), contained a freshly minted classic, “Make It Me.” 

He has shared billing on hundreds of stages with stalwarts of the genre like James McMurtry, Buddy Miller, John Hiatt, Patty Griffin, Tommy James & The Shondells, Jeff Beck, and Johnny Depp. Judging by the company he keeps, Gomez is poised to emerge as a prominent voice of Americana’s next generation.  The forthcoming album, Memory Mountain, is set to be released in August 2025.
