The Round (242): Shelby Natasha, Brenna Bruce, Mia Christ, spoken word poet Dahlay @ FREMONT ABBEY

The Round (242) featuring musicians

Shelby Natasha: www.shelbynatashamusic.godaddysites.com

Shelby Natasha is a Seattle based alt-folk musician and producer. Growing up living between the Pacific Northwest and China, her music is a blend of the folk music of both cultures. Her ghostlike vocals are accompanied by the Guzheng and lofi-beats, woven together with sounds collected from the natural world.

Brenna Bruce: www.brennabrucemusic.com

Brenna Bruce is a singer-songwriter based in Seattle. Following a path of curiosity and introspection, her music moves with a quiet power, balancing sharpness and tenderness with an understood patience.

Bruce pulls from the tradition of vulnerable folk through delicate and crystalline vocal prowess akin to Courtney Marie Andrews and Emmylou Harris, with the simplicity and focus of Gillian Welch’s storytelling. On her forthcoming debut EP Honest Bloom, Bruce weaves ambling stories of the heart with peripheral landscapes passing through the deserts, rivers, and mountains of her past in the southwest, and present in the Pacific Northwest.

Honest Bloom inhabits spaces of liminality and cyclical growth, spinning themes of connection, belonging, and becoming, with lilting pedal steel and string arrangements, tethered by pulsing percussion and the intentional delivery of Brenna’s vocal harmonies carrying each sentiment to fruition. Honest Bloom is a capsule of time, reckoning with the ever-unfolding path of being and learning life’s lessons, and Brenna Bruce is an artist burgeoning with timeless truths.

Mia Christ: open.spotify.com

Mia Christ is a singer-songwriter from Seattle. She lived in New York for 4 years and recently moved back following her graduation. Her music is a scrapbook blend of experiences accompanied by piano and guitar.
