    Seattle, Washington: “Here we are now, entertain us."

    A city with a legacy and cloudy culture that has given us authentic artists for decades. Some known around the world who arrived on the shoulders of those like Mudhoney and the Sub Pop beginnings. It’s still hard to escape the bubble of grunge but maybe the next Seattle is just Seattle?   Produced, Created, Written, Scored by Will Dailey Head writer: Caitlin White Executive Producers Brady Sadler & Jake Brennan  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Washington, DC: “Don’t mute the people”

    Of course two of the most relentlessly chest and heart pounding genres originate from the capital. Something has to cut through the muck and the mire.

    Denver, Colorado: “If the universe had a favorite venue...”

    From the million year old rocks to intimate theaters, the mile high sound echoes and echoes. Maybe it’s the mountains, maybe it’s the air but one can’t deny that there is a certain expanse in these jams and spaces unlike any in America. At this altitude the sound does strange things, man.
