Do It Scared ~ A Very Open Mic! Hosted by MQULTRA with special guest, Eric Howk

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.

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.
