About this event

MUSIC, SPOKEN WORD POETRY, LIVE VISUAL ART

Cozy and intimate, this listener-oriented event brings together songwriters, a poet and a live painter or other visual artist come together to create an experience totally unique.

DEVON DODGSON: www.devondodgson.com/

Leading with honest lyrics and emotive vocal delivery, Devon’s songwriting is marked by vulnerability. Her music explores themes of love, heartache, loss, and home, writing from experiences using songwriting as a safe space for reflection and processing emotions. A trained music therapist, Devon writes and performs with the belief in music’s ability to promote healing through connection, expression, and truth telling. She has been active in Seattle’s music scene since moving to the area in 2013.

Devon’s most recent body of work is a collection of Field Recordings, filmed and released through 2021 in which she spent the first several months of the year hunkered down in her hometown of Kansas City embracing a new opportunities in family life while waiting for the COVID-19 vaccine. Devon regularly packed up a microphone, guitar, and iPhone, and set out into the woods behind her childhood home to record live takes of song performances while capturing video footage of her surroundings.

Devon released a full length album titled Tapestry in December of 2019. The record explores themes around marriage and partnership; a progression of love as two individuals mature through acts of intimacy, shared sorrow, and companionship. Tapestry provided Devon the learning opportunity to record, mix, and master the album on her own.

In addition to her solo project, Devon is a member of DATENITE, a female-fronted, dream-synth band where she contributes vocal harmonies, electric guitar, keys, and songwriting.

NOBLE MONYEI: dearlydepartedseattle.com/

Noble Monyei is a Seattle based by singer/songwriter. Along with writing and performing in the band Dearly Departed, he produces electronic music under the moniker of Bach Cinco. He also works full time in music education. In the spirit of his Nigerian American heritage, his music blends rock and roll, blues, Nigerian pop/folk, hip hop and Americana. The music is very lyrical, focusing on dynamic vocal melodies and rhythms to drive the songs towards the listener's ears.

BEASLEY: www.beasleydotcom.com/

Pointedly critical yet hopeful, Beasley writes songs that offer a strong melody, a biting criticism, and a chorus you'll find yourself humming which calls the listener to live more honestly hopeful.

DEVONNIE BLACK: www.instagram.com/devonnieblack/

Simply put, Devonnie Black is a 31 year old storyteller. No matter the medium, Devonnie’s main goal is to document and share her life experiences with the world. Her love for writing and poetry started at eight years old and continues to blossom every year. You can purchase her debut poetry collection, “The Sun Never Needed Time” on Amazon.

When Devonnie isn’t writing or performing, she finds inspiration from her new role as Mama to her beautiful baby boy, Dion.

You can also catch Devonnie showcasing her first love, cooking, as a contestant on FOX’s new cooking competition, Next Level Chef which airs on January 2.

Follow her on Instagram and twitter to stay up to date at @devonnieblack on both platforms.

PAUL NUNN: www.instagram.com/creativityinacan/

Paul has a fascination with vision and revision. Op Art and play with forced perspective allows viewers a chance at a magic moment when in the right place at the right time. On a quest to create sometime more than the human eye can detect, you may find yourself hypnotized even before looking the through a different lens.

Paul Nunn is a lifelong Washingtonian who has been making art since before he knew he was making art. You might find him around Seattle coordinating a public art project for Urban ArtWorks or hiding out in his Pioneer Square art studio. Paul studied painting and printmaking at Washington State and holds an MFA in Arts Leadership from Seattle University. He has been drawing a lot of circles recently.
