Everybody’s workin’ for the weekend… which we’ve blessedly arrived at once more. Carpe that diem at events from Umoja Fest to Friend’s House Records’ Friend’s Fest, and more. If you’re in search of even more suggestions, check out our top event picks of the week.
FRIDAY
LIVE MUSIC
Paul Sakai and Lulu West
Gallery 1412 is an unassuming room with a low stage in one corner, but don’t let that fool you; it’s been one of Seattle’s coolest independent music and arts venues since 2004. This Friday, Californian drummer Paul Sakai and NYC-based guitarist Lulu West come together to perform an improvised, ambient duo set. Few things impress me more than musicians building songs together in real-time, feeding off each other’s movements in a way I can only describe as magic. Local pianist Ofir Klemperer and audiovisual artist Seed Order open the show. SHANNON LUBETICH
