Indie Shows This Week in Seattle

Advance: $18 ($25.44 after fees) Day of: $20 ($28.33 after fees) Renny Conti: Renny Conti is a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer from the San Francisco Bay Area. Renny’s 2025 self-titled album is rich with attentive lyrics about love, grief, and nature, coupled with tangly guitar melodies and rewarding dissonance that explores tension through its release. Renny approaches his music as a way to challenge convention by engaging his audience to do the same. The result is a collection of heartfelt songs that unravel differently with every listen. His new album has garnered press from Paste Magazine, The Line of Best Fit, and Fretboard Journal, hailing him as a singular new voice in contemporary indie music. Please note, the Sunset Tavern is a strictly 21+ bar and venue and does not accept vertical ID’s for entry. Presented by The Crocodile

Black Lodge Presents Michael Beach (Australia, Goner Records) Melanie Radford (Built to Spill) \------------------------------------ Michael Beach On his debut live LP, Live at Phoenix Central Park, Melbourne-based/California-born songwriter and bandleader Michael Beach brings together three of Australia’s most well-known improvisers in a mercurial performance that is both contemplative and expansive, focused and fierce. Playing live together for the first time, the band--Lloyd Swanton (The Necks), Joe Talia (Oren Ambarchi, Ned Collette), and Mick Turner (Dirty Three)—supercharge Beach’s textural songwriting, and tap immediately into a propulsive cosmic pulse. For the last decade, Beach has called Melbourne home, splitting time between making his own records, engineering records for others (recent credits include albums by Tropical Fuck Storm and Exek), and teaching music (often to people in other Melbourne bands). He worked for years at San Francisco's Hemlock Tavern, a hub in the American musical underground, and is a commonly heard voice on Melbourne independent radio stations RRR and PBS. For years, Beachhas been carefully fostering musical connections - for Live at Phoenix Central Park, it was time to bring those connections together. Presented by The Vera Project.
