Sundae and Mr. Goessl

Sundae + Mr. Goessl is a new collaboration between resident Seattle, WA musicians Jason Goessl and Kate Voss. The duo embodies a spirit reminiscent of 1930s pop; repackaging classics with nuanced stylistic detours, ultimately imparting a ‘fresh’ vintage patina to the songs. Voss’s sultry and honey imbued vocals mixed with Goessl’s impossibly layered guitar work comfortably ebbs and flows while transcending the definition of ‘pop’. Goessl is widely known for his venerable guitarmanship and possesses a deep and diverse well of genres to draw from. Whether it be Brazilian (Brazil Novo), country (Jessica Lynne and the Cousins), dub rock cross over (Trimtab), surf/western (The Pornadoes) or funk (The Bayous), he approaches the music with studied curiosity and stamps it with his indelible signature sound. Voss has steeped for over a decade in vocal and piano study and performance

Velocity

Active since: 2014

Velocity is a quartet based out of Tacoma, Washington that siphons off of a variety of musical styles including jazz, funk and fusion. The music combines hard-hitting grooves and hook melodies with open improvisation. The energetic original compositions are largely written by keyboardist Peter Adams, and arranged by Peter Adams and Brian Smith. Common time is uncommon with Velocity. Melodies are twisted and warped around each other. Solos are aggressive, yet bind the compositions to a set of defined rules and formulas. The sounds that you expect are not the sounds you get. And that’s just the way we like it. Peter Adams / Keyboard Cliff Colón / Saxophone Brian Smith / Drums Rob Hutchinson / Bass
