Connor Desai joins Levi Fuller's Ball of Wax No. 21 show with Wyoming Young and Strong, Webelos, The Soft Hills, Jeremy Burk, Slow Skate, Shannon Stephens, and Brian Baillie, at Sunset Tavern, Wednesday, August 25th at 8:30 p.m.
Sunset Tavern is located at:
5433 Ballard Avenue NW
Seattle, Washington 98107
21+ / $7.00 at the door.
The Stranger says "Ball of Wax doesn't care if your band has ever gotten a write-up in The Stranger or headlined a Saturday-night show at the Crocodile. It doesn't care if your drummer is friends with the bartender at the Sunset. Ball of Wax just wants to share a small piece of Seattle's musical landscape with other local music fans."
"Levi has done so much to support local music and I'm thrilled to be able to be part of both the compilation and the show," says Connor.
Connor Desai makes soulful American folk music and names Victoria Williams, Steely Dan, and Kansas as her early influences. In a recent review, Seattle Show Gal said “[she] is sure to melt your heart with her sultry, silky voice and fine-tuned jazzyness with a hint of bouncy pop.” Her latest appearance at ToST in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood received a recommendation from Three Imaginary Girls, which asserted that her latest release is filled with “hollow-bodied warmth, tube amp glow, and dark lounge haunt-drama” while a national feature on Channel One News said “[you] can play the entire record, her refreshing sounds provide a nice variety -- whether they are upbeat and ranging near pop, or more slow and contemplative.” The Jazz Music Examiner says her sophomore album Use Your Hands “manages to break down jazz into its more pleasing parts… the experimentation, the intelligence, the full-bodied pairings…in a winning presentation of art, style, and verve."
