We’re trying something new at the Skylark and we’d love for you to be part of the first spin.
Join us Thursday, August 6, from 5–11 PM for NEEDLE DROP, our first community vinyl night.
Bring a record, choose a side, and we’ll play it through our Technics 1200 and 5,000-watt sound system. Each guest gets one side (up to 22 minutes) with 20-minute signup times. All genres are welcome.
Want to say a few words about your album? We’d love that. Tell the room why you chose it, where you found it, what makes the pressing special, or why everyone needs to hear it. Prefer to let the music speak for itself? That’s perfectly good too.
Bring your ideas, and bring your friends and family! They don’t need to sign up or bring a record to join the fun. Come early, grab dinner and drinks, support the person spinning, and stay to discover what everyone else brought. (disclaimer- it might be a wee bit loud- louder=sounds better:)
We also might pull out a few special records of our own, including my prized Nirvana Nevermind Original Pressing:) and a couple other favorites.
Bring a record. Pick a side. We’ll play it loud.
Far Far Far's Brenton Forshey and Emily Vilbrandt’s soulful vocal harmonies are the centerpiece of this Seattle-based indie rock group. Vilbrandt’s quietly confident vocals provide an enchanting blend with Forshey’s mid range power. With a touch of Americana flavors, Dan Warbington’s tasteful and memorable guitar parts give each song a unique texture. Multi instrumentalist Tim Hendon shines lyrical musicality to every bass part, while John Standley’s drums are refined, polished, and exciting. With retro influences and a modern feel, each Far Far Far show is a unique night to remember.
The legacy of colourful and relatable American roots music lives on in the form of Seattle’s JAMES CARR BAND. The cornerstones of this group’s sonic bliss are their locked-in groove, their heart-touching emotive soul, and their funk-infused rhythm. This is a country rock experience reimagined for the current climate.
Singing siblings Emily Vilbrandt (Far Far Far, Sebastian and the Deep Blue) and Amanda Vilbrandt (Bluestreet Voices, Puget Soundworks) join forces in this heartfelt and lighthearted songwriting powerhouse trio. Levi Jess (True Unknown, Mind of Joy, Jules Attempt) provides the perfect quirky, clever, and exciting acoustic accompaniment. With Emily providing the lyrical seed, Levi and Amanda flushing out the melody and harmonies, this group is a true three part songwriting endeavor. Balancing topics as heavy as human rights and as common as lost love and workplace frustrations, their songwriting is relevant, approachable, and important.
Doors 7 show 8
A great all ager rager featuring a Skylark favorite, Radon Radar returning to the stage! We're also stoked to have Cam Elise back all the way from Las Vegas.
