Goodnight, Seattle

From the Sit n Spin days to the new Showbox Sodo, from the basement-chic KCMU to KEXP’s ascendancy to indie-authority, I saw some important changes happen firsthand.

I got to Denver, my new home, early today. I moved for a big career opportunity, but don’t let me trick you into thinking I’m getting a real job, hell no. I’ll still be doing photography and web design, only I’ll be teaming with two very talented people — Cameron Preston and longtime friend Brandi Shigley — who want to make a serious dent in this town.

I’ve visited Denver several times in the last 18 months, and it’s got a renaissance going on that I find irresistible. If you’re in town look me up and I’ll show it to you.

I’m proud I lived in Seattle, and I’m proud of this site and its writers. It’s a little over a year old and already is recognized as the go-to place for real Northwest music news and reviews.

Kevin LeDoux will be taking over day-to-day NWMB duties, while I’m going to continue to fund and develop it. We have some good stuff coming up for you. As always, we love to hear from you. The contact page form sends your message to both Kevin and me.

Seattle, thank you. It was a great 8 years. I left you with an aching in my heart.
