I know I said I would be releasing Taylor’s cover videos on a weekly basis, but this one was just too good to not share with you all! Here is Taylor covering The Beatles’ “Oh Darling.” Enjoy!
And if you’re not a fan of her music page yet, get on the band wagon y’all!
For those of you who don’t know, I started working with a songwriter/singer last summer named Taylor Bolibol. I sort of took it on as a new project not knowing where her and I would go with it, but now looking back, it has been an incredible and rewarding experience for the both of us. In the time that we’ve been working together, (about eight months,) Taylor has played numerous shows and released an album! To see her grow as an artist and develop this strong stage presence and confidence is extremely moving. I don’t know if I have ever been more proud of someone, but this is also an accomplishment that I am most proud of.
Last night we both were thrilled that the Hard Rock Cafe in Seattle booked Taylor for a show! Check out her cover below of Jessie J’s “Domino,” and if you’d like to hear more from Taylor, feel free to purchase her album on iTunes or Amazon and visit her Facebook page. We appreciate everyone’s support!

It’s going DOWN this summer. I’ve been amped on the Capitol Hill Block Party news all day, but let’s not forget my other favorite music festival that will culminate my entire summer. Bumbershoot turns 40 this year and they are celebrating it in 40 different ways. That’s better than my 2 1/2 week long birthday celebration.
This list begins w/ a kick off party on June 2nd at the Hard Rock Cafe. Along the way, we will have collaborations with SIFF, Flickr, Street team events, an exclusive flavor at Molly Moon’s and a SAM Remix – just to name a few.
For those of you missing Fairline tomorrow at the Hard Rock Cafe.
My new favorite band Fairline will be performing this Friday at the Hard Rock Cafe in Seattle.
This show is 21+
$8 advance tickets
$10 at the door
Show is from 8-11 PM
Go listen to good music!

It was such a treat to be able to finally catch Fairline perform after missing two of their previous shows. I went into Q Cafe w/ no expectations. I had heard that lead singer Nathaniel used to be a part of Ivory – but other than listening to their demos, I knew nothing.
Wanita and I almost missed their set because we kept missing the turn for the cafe and drove over the bridge in Ballard nearly five times! The cafe was crowded and there definitely wasn’t anywhere to sit except for two chairs right in front of the stage that were open, which we snagged of course.
So let me tell you about Fairline:
I felt so confined to my seat during the entire set. The band invited everyone in the audience to get up and dance, but that just was not going to happen in that setting and atmosphere that we were in. That was all I wanted to do and had it been any other place, I probably would have. The band has only been around since January or so. Typically with new bands, it is obvious that they are new. With Fairline, there were no blunders – no mess ups – they looked like they were pros and that they had been doing this for a very long time. Honestly, they did incredible things with their music that I had never even seen before. Every song made me creep closer and closer to the edge of my seat.
Also, I have such a soft spot for bands that dress the part. I think it’s great when bands show that they have some kind of character and personality as opposed to just a band t-shirt and jeans. The guys of Fairline looked like they walked straight off the runway of a Band of Outsiders showing.
At the end of the show, Wanita and I were recapping and reflecting on our thoughts when she turned to me and said, “They have the kind of package that a band normally wouldn’t have established until later in their career.” That, to us, is quite impressive.
I am so excited about Fairline and what is to come and I cannot wait to work with them because they seem like genuinely nice guys. It has been a long time since I have seen a new band in Seattle rise with this kind of momentum behind them and with this much potential.
They will be playing at the Hard Rock Cafe on May 14th.
It’s about time don’t you think? The Hard Rock Cafe which opened last Wednesday, the 10th, has been planted right on 116 Pike Street. I used to think that there used to be a Hard Rock here, but that it had closed down, but that’s only cause I got it confused with Planet Hollywood. Do Planet Hollywood’s still exist? The guitar pictured above (it’s fifteen feet!) is supposed to resemble a replica of the late Kurt Cobain‘s guitar in the music video, “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”
