What: Sondre Lerche
Where: The Triple Door
When: September 29, 2009
Why: I tagged along with a KEXP 500 Club member to see one of my favorite singer-songwriters perform an exclusive show at one of my favorite venues. As good as they are, I never have fallen truly in love with any of Sondre’s records. Live, however, the young Norwegian’s charm shines through, and all of the songs are elevated by his no-frills approach to performing.

What: King Sunny Ade & His African Beats
When: June 29, 2009
Where: The Triple Door, Seattle, WA
Why: My friend Kiah, who I hadn’t seen in 5 months, is tour managing King Sunny on this North American trek, so when the band slid through Seattle, me and a bunch of our mutual friends had to attend. It was a good time, with enjoyable music I otherwise likely wouldn’t be exposed to. Mostly though, it was a great chance to catch up and hang out with friends, which is all you can really ask of any event. My friend Christopher Nelson was also there, taking amazing photos like this one. The show was a special 25th Anniversary party for KEXP’s Best Ambience, and you can listen to the show in its entirety thanks to NPR.
