Astral Jukebox
New alternative music from Seattle is here. Astral Jukebox is about feeling. It’s about being in the moment. It is a summer festival. It’s a favorite corner bar. It is rock with that distinctive Seattle edge that makes you turn up the volume. With Astral Jukebox, your neighbors will be listening to great music, whether they want to or not. Get ready to ride, rock, and roll. Seattle summer shows will start soon. We will announce tour dates and Seattle block party dates here as soon as they are available. We have been hard at work on our first alternative album at London Bridge Studios which releases in June, 2022. Now, it is time to get out there and rejoin the post-pandemic world in 2022 with new rock. You can keep up with us on Instagram directly from the website. Check out exclusive tracks and backstage photos in our exclusive Astral Jukebox blog, Poems, Thoughts, and Collected Mumblings.
Brittany Danielle Band
What happens when you pull a thread? Those who’ve sought the answer know the glee of the seam ripping open, the stuffing falling out and then the surprise of that which is broken now resting at your feet. What if this moment had a soundtrack? A melody like that string, rhythms like cloth and cotton. And a demise as obvious as that of a broken relationship or belief system. This is the music Seattle-based songwriter and performer, Brittany Danielle brings to the world.
With songs that sound like Top 40 hits but read like tarot cards, Danielle, who has been playing piano since 8-years-old and boasts a graduate degree in music, creates compositions that touch opposite sides of the spectrum. On Danielle’s debut LP, which she will unveil in 2022, many of the tracks were born from the pandemic and the song exercises that kept her sane throughout. Woven together with truths about her mental health (and its own unraveling), the songs represent growth, new connections.
Danielle, who has played in popular bands in Seattle like Purr Gato, graced stages like The Tractor Tavern and those abroad in cities as far away as Germany, has worked in children’s theater and performed in musicals, too. She’s a quilt of experience held with uneasy stitching. At times her songs sound like a stroll down a city street, others like the corners of your consciousness. Standouts include the unburdening, “Hindsight,” and sauntering, “Nothing.” But don’t fret. In the end, of course, she’s got the world dancing on a line.
Bruce Hilliard
Born in Seattle, raised in Aberdeen WA, Bruce Hilliard is a singer, guitarist and songwriter with a diversified song list influenced mostly by pop/folk rock of the 60s-80s. He was an opener for Heart, the Ramones, Dr. Hook, Wishbone Ash and Eric Burdon.
Early in his career Bruce completed Bachelor Degrees in Music and Journalism from Washington State University and, while never allowing a hiatus from performing and songwriting, joined corporate America in marketing and sales. His heart and vision led him back to his passion and now records and performs live and with great appreciation to be back in the wheelhouse.
