Kris Orlowski’s Songwriter Sessions

While there’s no shortage of eclectic shows in Seattle, an entire night of solo performances is a bit harder to find. If there’s a trend in the culture, it’s bent toward maximalism – big vocal harmonies, horn sections, extra toms played by back-up singers, etc. – and this leaves a little less room for the intimate experience of the solo performer.

I think he may have missed the memo himself, but God, after all, is dead. This makes it harder and harder to listen to the emissaries of his Word with anything approximating sincerity, or more exactly, it’s hard to listen at all. It’s a tough job slanging obsolete product. Pastors and preachers might as well be abacus salesmen, though this, frankly, sounds like an easier gig.

Timber! 2014 – Caleb Thompson
Sunday, July 27, 2014 13:29 — 0 Comments

The confusion is probably my fault, but I’m not even sure about that.

This weekend the hippies, festival tourists, love-seekers, and other assorted oddballs will be travelling past the middle of nowhere to the Barter Faire grounds in the hills above Tonasket for the fifth annual Conscious Culture Festival. Dozens of bands will be performing on the main stage and DJs will be spinning the dome stage. The Monarch Review is sending journalists to document the event, but we strongly encourage you to get some tickets for yourself and go have an adventure! Get your weekend passes here.
