SAM RUSSELL & THE HARBORRATS are BACK....for our first Seattle-area public show since July! After launching a successful (thanks to YOU!) crowdfunding campaign over the summer to fund recording for our upcoming album and THEN touring the Midwest in Sep, we took a break from live shows to concentrate on recording and raise more funds to finish the album.. But we'll BACK at our Ballard home of the Conor Byrne Pub on Jan 20 to show off what we've been working on to see what you think! And we'll also have a couple new crazy covers to roll out too...

We'll be joined by our new friends in TIO NACHO'S HOUSE, made up of cousins Ricky and Roberto Hoyos, and Carlos El Gato. Driven by their Latin and Seattle roots, their explosive, funky sound is influenced by their appreciation for the salsa that blasted at family parties and blends rock, R&B, pop & soul. Tio is devoted to creating music for people who grew up longing for beats that don’t tick a genre box.

Opener JADE TEATHER will be armed with just her vocal prowess and trusty acoustic guitar, Jade is a singer-songwriter who expertly crafts intriguing, thought-provoking songs with big words & big feelings and creates sounds similar to greats like early Angel Olsen, Courtney Barnett, Phoebe Bridgers, and others in that the listener is drawn into the artist’s compelling lyricism over minimalist, but elegant instrumentals.
