Ive been waiting to do this episode for a long time! After taking the summer off from the podcast we are back to bring you new episodes from Baba Yaga in Pioneer Square!

For our first episode back I got to sit down and hang out with Guy Keltner, founder of the iconic Ferakout! music festival taking place this Thursday through Sunday in Ballard.

Guy has been a mover in the Seattle music scene for years, having built up his band Acid Tongue and Freakout Fest for the last 10 years. Started as a record label and now turned non-profit; focused on giving local and international artist a chance to play in front of music lovers and show goers.

We talked about the life of touring over seas, developing as an artist and a person, how freakout has changed and grown over the years and so much more!

I just got to see Chantel at Sunset Tavern over the weekend with an absolutely

stacked line-up! I was utterly blown away by their set, Chantel is such a dynamic, powerful singer and her band kicks ass! Their sound was huge, it was truly a great night!

Though based in Portland, Chantel relocated to Oregon from Seattle, I think we can still claim Marble as one of our own!!

We had a blast with so many laughs, tour stories; we chatted about Chantel's upbringing in music and of course I asked the tough questions like fighting chickens or a bears

I had so much fun hanging out with Megan at Cafe Racer! a few months back I got to sit down and hang with Megan Cannon right before she set off on a West Coast tour.

Since then, Instant Crush has become one of my favorite bands to listen to and I can't wait to see them live again. We talked about how she started Instant Crush, the journey of defining Instant Crush's sound, Megan's start in music and os much more! A lot of laughs, stories and fun times in this one!

Catch Instant Crush with an album release show this fall, listen to their discography on Spotify and follow them on Instagram!
