Event Description
Welcome to The Softies Album Release Celebration!
EARLY SHOW! Doors at 7:00 p.m., show at 7:30 p.m. sharp!
Come celebrate the release of the new Softies album "The Bed I Made".
The Softies, comprised of Rose Melberg and Jen Sbragia, embody timeless themes of friendship and self-discovery through their minimalist pop soundworld. Since their formation in 1994, they've created uncluttered and fearlessly vulnerable music, contrasting with prevailing trends. The Bed I Made, The Softies’ first new studio album in 24 years, showcases growth while reflecting on life's complexities with lyrics drawn from real experiences. Despite individual pursuits and personal losses, Melberg and Sbragia reunite, channeling grief and rejuvenation into an album that captures the essence of their enduring friendship and offers hope and renewal amid life's challenges. Through their perfectly-paired harmonies and telepathic playing, they navigate the present, past, and future, offering a poignant continuation of their musical legacy, resonating like time spent with an old friend who knows you best.
Joining the Softies will be PNW legends LAKE. LAKE is an indie rock institution since their formation in 2005, bringing endlessly curious musical exploration to their distinctive brand of soft rock. Today, the trio of multi-instrumentalists Ashley Eriksson, Eli Moore, and Andrew Dorsett continue a singular path with their most recent LP Roundelay on Seattle label OFF TEMPO, adding Balkan and British folk rock influences, odd time signatures, and an adult contemporary aesthetic to their already singular sound: whispered lead vocals, gentle romanticism and sly funk. Their influences, crossing continents and generations, include Prefab Sprout, the Blue Nile, Fleetwood Mac, Yo La Tengo, REM, and The Beach
Also joining will be Vancouver superstar Adrian Teacher! A rare solo appearance from the unofficial rock and roll poet laureate of the West Coast.
