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

Tunes, Art & Chatter ~ End of Tour Debriefing with Rico, Sally & Jon of the Mekons

Sunday August 3rd from 5pm to 8pm

Free Admission

Lester Bangs once wrote, "The Mekons are the most revolutionary group in the history of rock 'n' roll," and although he wrote it tongue in cheek, that doesn't mean he was wrong. Thoroughly uncompromising, creatively restless, at once witty and profoundly cynical, and seemingly incapable of repeating themselves, the Mekons are one of the few bands from the first wave of British punk who not only never turned their back on their guiding ideals, but clung to them with greater tenacity over time. (This helps explain why their audience, while relatively small, is unfailingly loyal.) The Mekons were (and remain) as strongly political as any band short of Crass, but their Marxism came from the perspective of the guy at the bar, not unintelligent but rarely academic. Since 1977, the Mekons have followed a musical path that has taken them through punk ("Never Been in a Riot"), noisy experimentalism (The Quality of Mercy Is Not Strnen), synthesizer-based avant-pop (Devils, Rats, and Piggies: A Special Message from Godzilla), fractured country (Fear and Whiskey), rock & roll (The Mekons Rock 'n' Roll), electronics (Me), and several brands of folk (Natural, Ancient and Modern, and Jura), and for all their sonic shapeshifting, they've always managed to sound like the Mekons, brave contrarians who've gone too far to stop, at every turn.

The Rabbit Box presents Sunrust & Celestial Navigation

August 6th / Doors 7pm / Music begins at 8pm

Sunrust, a alluring combination of talented songwriters Sunny Loudin voc/guitar, Russ Mazion guitar/voc, Brian "Grayman" Templeton bass/ vibes and JP Michaels drums / voc. Using haunting harmony and heartfelt melody in a uniquely beautiful gothic vibe.

​Celestial Navigation was formed in 2013 out of a need for three seasoned musicians to create something truly unique. Hailing from Ankara, Turkey, Didem Somel (voice, strings, keys) is an award winning performer with vast experience in the symphonic and classical education realms. Robby Albrecht (drums, voice, production) grew up playing Rock-n-Roll, laying his funky grooves down all over the country. Glen Anderson (double bass) spent a few decades on the West Coast jazz scene as a ‘first call’ player. Such a wide range of influences allows the Seattle based power trio to seamlessly meld genres into a distinctive sound of their own.

"Often compared to Charlie Hunter, Tuck Andress, Julian Lage and Tommy Emmanuel... The jazz harmony is there, but worked seamlessly into pieces that could almost be considered closer to instrumental pop" - Jazz Guitar Today "But it takes an impossibly gifted player to improvise independent melodies, harmonies, and bass lines—all at the same time—while maintaining an impeccable groove. Australia’s Adam Miller is one such rare phenomenon" - Premier Guitar Australian Instrumental guitarist Adam Miller released his 10th full-length album, TIMING, on April 18, 2025. It debuted at #5 on the Australian Independent Record Charts - an all genre chart! Recorded in Los Angeles with the exceptional Joel Gottschalk on Bass and Justin Glasco on Drums, this album was recorded in just 5 hours before the trio performed a show in LA on the same day! With a career spanning just over 20 years, Adam Miller had early beginnings as a solo guitar virtuoso, that led to session playing, producing, mix & master engineer, university educator, and everything in between, but his vision of creating instrumental guitar music has never lost focus. He has toured the globe, performing in the USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Denmark, The Netherlands, Sweden, Poland, Japan, Australia & even Afghanistan for the Australian and Allied Forces. Miller has shared stages with Les Paul, Tommy Emmanuel, Samantha Fish, Mike Stern, Charlie Hunter, Tomo Fujita, Adam Levy, Matt Schofield, Mason Stoops, Molly Miller, Josh Smith, Joey Landreth, Russell Morris, Ariel Posen, Tony McManus, Ben Gillies (Silverchair) amongst so many others. With glowing coverage in guitar & music press around the world, the 2002 Australian Fingerstyle Guitar Champion even has his own signature model guitar from Nik Huber Guitars. Opening the show will be Seattle's own Little H Collective.

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

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/

Steeped in decades of experience in the music scenes of the Pacific Northwest, Port Velvet is the new indie post-punk synth-pop collaboration between Brent Knopf (founder of Menomena, Ramona Falls, El Vy) and Patti King (touring member of The Shins and Deep Sea Diver, Radiation City). After Patti's performance (with the Portland Cello Project) of Radiohead's "Climbing Up the Walls" gave Brent goosebumps, he reached out, and they instantly bonded over their love of authentic vocalists, the rich dynamism of vintage recordings, and the soundtrack to The Neverending Story. From the pair's magical blend of chaos and order, Port Velvet’s songs emerge with rich melodies, dance grooves, dynamic arrangements, and dark subjects. 

Elliot Jackson is a multi instrumentalist artist based out of Seattle, WA. Known as the synthesizer/guitar player for the band Deep Sea Diver , Elliot brings the same atmospheres, textures, shapes and hooks leaning more into a world of discoed new age ambient soundscapes.

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

St. Yuma - Seattle, WA\n\nEstablished in 2015 “St. Yuma” serves as the creative outlet for singer/songwriter Stevan Alva. Whether performing solo or with a band, the objective has always been to evoke emotional depth through music and sonic exploration, drawing inspiration from artists like Damien Jurado, Califone, Silver Jews, and Wilco. St. Yuma’s latest offering "Country Sleight of Hand" was crafted during and after singer-songwriter Alva's departure from Texas following the passing of his father, ultimately settling in Seattle, WA. The backdrop of Alva's new beginnings in Seattle provided an inspiring setting to confront and compose the new record. Thematically, the album delves into the complexities of death, love, and life's uncertainties. Recorded at The Unknown in Anacortes, WA, the album boasts a diverse sonic palette, beautifully captured and mixed by Marshall Pruitt of Austin, TX.

The Marrying Type is an eclectic folk, rock, dream pop project, hailing from Tacoma, Seattle and Bremerton. Showcasing the songwriting of singer/guitarist Nathan Smurthwaite(Fungal Abyss,Black Smoker) and offering the listener an opportunity to get lush and loud aswell as quietly lost in thought, cathartically pondering the abyss of emotions that life often is. The Marrying Type is complete with a collection of excellent local players, Benjamin Thomas Kennedy(BlouseUSA,SomeSurprises,Shitty Person)on drums, Ryan Weaver(KarolKarol,StradhoughtonEcho)on bass and his own offspring Dino Smurthwaite(Colour)on guitar.

Tiny Vipers is Jesy Fortino, a musician living in Seattle. Creating and performing the music for her new album with a singular approach, Life on Earth is a private vision unfolding, at times crystal-clear and at other times shrouded in a mystical fog. People and times past wander through these songs like ghosts looking for a home. And questions arise for anyone listening: Where did they go? Where have they been?

“My brother Jim and I and our kids have had a long running family band. It started 15 years ago and at that point was three generations of Sangsters playing music together with our dad and our fairly young (at that point) kids. Now the kids have flown the coop and it’s harder to make it happen but this summer we are doing it!!” - Johnny Sangster

"To those who think folk music has to be alt-folk or some other hybrid in order to be relevant in the 21st Century, no stronger rebuke to that notion could be o#ered than North Carolina’s Barton Carroll, a now-Seattle-based singer-songwriter of uncommon lyrical gifts and a low-"ame intensity that commands a listener’s attention even with all the other distractions of modern life." – The Bluegrass Special

New Orthodox is "New american" music, not in sound but in participation. Led by New York state-based multi-instrumentalist Nicholas Merz, he invites collaborators within and beyond state lines such as Freak Heat Waves, Thor Harris, and Spencer Krug, to bring the work to life. Through a patchwork of disparate musical styles that borders on performance art, the project is focused on highlighting the human element of error, and creating as little distraction as possible around it. The band's ethos leans heavily into minimalist repetition, sonic experimentation, and lyrical insights that give way to live performances and recordings that utilize space and silence to imitate the human experience. The music is both intimate and grand, charged and claustrophobic, taking the tools of country and spinning them out of context.

The Triple Door presents Dave Hause at The Rabbit Box

Saturday / September 13, 2025 @ 9:00pm

$25 General // $30 Advance :

Dave Hause’s songs have always been rooted in tangible reality—of emotion, of environment, of circumstance. Since releasing his debut album, Resolutions, in 2011, the Philadelphia-born songwriter has poured his whole heart, soul and life into his music. That’s no different on Drive It Like It’s Stolen, his sixth full-length. Its 10 songs overflow with Hause’s trademark urgency and passion, shimmering with a truth that reflects the harsh realities of life in this day and age, as well the intermittent jolts of joy that punctuate it. After all, his songs have always detailed his own personal traumas and triumphs within the setting of an unforgiving capitalist backdrop, tethering those personal experiences to ineluctable external forces. 2013’s second album, Devour, for example, was a response to his divorce from his first wife, while 2019’s Kick saw him tackle hope, depression, global warming and a crumbling American democracy with the news that he was to become a father. Most recently, on 2021’s Blood Harmony, Hause wrote and sang about the positive impact of having twins, and of the joy and excitement of being able to be at home with them for the first couple of years of the pandemic. 

Drive It Like It’s Stolen is just as earnest and heartfelt, raw and real as anything he’s ever written before. Yet there’s also a subtle yet significant difference—here he’s delving into a more fictional type of storytelling to create what he terms "post-apocalyptic Americana”. That’s clear from the title of this album’s haunting and ominous opening song, “Cheap Seats (New Year’s Day, NYC, 2042)”. Set two decades in the future, it’s obviously not about anything that’s actually happened, but is still very much inspired by life. At the start of 2022, Hause was in a good place. He’d changed his diet and had maintained a strenuous workout regimen resulting in improved physical and mental health. Feeling great, he’d decided to go off Lexapro and left to go out on the Blood Harmony band touring. 

“I was feeling great,” he recalls. “I came back to work, didn’t have my meds. But then I’m on tour, I’m not working out, I’m not eating that way anymore. And I’m really faced with the American city, the American experiment post-pandemic. We’re going places and being like, ‘Oh, my God, this is what Portland and San Francisco and Los Angeles look like.’ And it looked terrifying. Whenever I went anywhere, I felt like I was watching the prequel to 12 Monkeys, except I was also living it and just wondering what the fuck was going on. The tour was doing well, but it just felt like my mental health was falling down stairs. A few months later, when we were finishing the tour, we heard stories that people were siphoning gas out of tour buses. So, a lot of the record was kind of born of and trying to wrestle with that.”

An evening of folk Americana on 6 & 12-string guitar concerning heroes and hope, so that absolutely everyone, of every identity and history, can know that they are not alone but have a verse in the shouted poetry of dawn.

A fine finger-style guitarist with a precise baritone, Kray Van Kirk has a Ph.D. from the University of Alaska, but he set science aside to write songs, tell stories and summon heroes."We are driven by myth and the seasons of the heart," he says, "and the stories are all true. There is a dark cave inside each of us, and monsters of all kinds lurk there, all the more lethal for being hidden. The quest is to journey inside, render the monsters powerless, find whatever it is that burns at the core of your soul and bring it back into the light. In a world divided it is critical to write songs and tell stories that show absolutely everyone they get to be the hero. Nobody is left behind."

When he reached Scotland and the Fringe Festival, the Daily Fringe Review wrote ìThe evening's act was Kray Van Kirk, whose 12-string guitar and soaring vocals were spellbinding; the Alaskan singer-songwriter, in his Edinburgh debut, was not the reason I arrived early, but was certainly why I stayed late."

Of this charming, Quixotic and eclectic performer, the Borderline Folk Club in New York wrote that Van Kirk was "what every singer-songwriter should aspire to."

Singer-songwriter Larry Murante has a well-earned reputation as one of the Northwests finest contemporary singer/songwriters with the accolades and dozens of regional, national, and international awards to back it up.

Murante is well known for his soaring, mellifluous tenor, strong rhythmic guitar style, and engaging stage presence. He performs both originals and cover tunes. His award-winning original songs feature beautifully woven stories about everyday folks. They combine compassionate, socially conscious lyrics with an upbeat, joyful folk-rock style.

Allison Preisinger is a Tacoma-based performing songwriter and Berklee College of Music graduate known for her evocative, Americana-infused sound against the background of many influences including Iron & Wine, Tom Petty, and Gillian Welch. Her most recent release, Standing Steady, is a heartfelt exploration of stillness and simplicity, intertwining her music with poems from various poets to create a deeply personal and therapeutic work. She is also known for her unique collaborations, including her recent work on an album produced by The National Park Service, where she contributed to a song honoring Olympic National Park. A multi-instrumentalist with a passion for storytelling, Allison aspires to use her art to uplift, connect, and share the beauty and complexity of the human experience.

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.

“A disc of pure, impalpable beauty, weightless notes and melodies that pierce our hearts…. And the young woman, prey to a vagueness in the soul that she sublimates in a handful of magical songs, to offer us a twilight album, somewhere between Gillian Welch and Laura Veirs.” – Rolling Stone

Toronto songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell returns with Anniversary, an evocative collection of original love songs. Produced with Great Lake Swimmers’ Tony Dekker, the album was recorded at 200-year-old St Mark’s Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Dekker helped shape the sessions’ spooky, resonant sound and also lent his voice to a couple of spellbinding duets.

The Triple Door presents at The Rabbit Box Alberto Lombardi

Friday / November 21, 2025 @ 7:30pm

His acoustic solo arrangements are very personal, derived from the different musical experiences Alberto has in rock, jazz, country and pop as a session player. Yet they're rooted in the style of the great Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel. He digs into complex arrangements of Italian and american classics, translating them on the guitar (Georgia on my mind, Volare, 'O Sole Mio), picking up clever harmonic movements from those great arrangers and composers and making them his own, on the six string.

As a sideman Alberto has rocked stages as big as Italian Stadiums like Olimpico and San Siro, or Pavillao Atlantico in Lisboa. In his 25 years career he's worked with major Italian acts as a session player and record producer/arranger/mixer. He runs his recording studio called "Belairstudio" in Rome, Italy. https://www.albertolombardi.com/

Nile Rodgers, Madonna, Duran Duran, Bowie producer and mastermind of the band Chic: “the record is killing, such great musicianship!”

Tommy Emmanuel, one of the most influential guitar players of all times, with whom Alberto was lucky to play a few times, said about his first acoustic record: “It sounds beautiful and your playing and arrangements are very powerful! Big admiration to you!”
