Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready Reps Stereo Embers on Late Night
Rocker dons t-shirt of power pop foursome while jamming with Stephen Colbert
Pearl Jam played the The Late Show with Stephen Colbert show last night and lead guitarist, Mike McCready, was spotted wearing the band t-shirt of local power-pop group, Stereo Embers. Later that night, McCready tweeted this picture out of himself and Colbert backstage.
The band played a Neil Young cover, “Rockin In The Free World,” with the talk show host hamming it up.
Stereo Embers, who have a record release show Friday night at the Sunset Tavern in Ballard, are one of the bands McCready recently signed to his new vinyl-only record label, HockeyTalkter Records. It’s a feather in the cap for the local band and both a savvy and kind move by the world famous rocker.

In its second year, the free festival brings 200-plus artists to a 20-block route September 19, with a secret garden and a former 7-Eleven stocked with art.
Most walks through downtown Seattle involve trying to get somewhere. On September 19, the crosswalk itself might be the reason to stop. Heap Troupe will turn a four-way crossing into a performance, one of dozens of encounters planned for this year’s WALKDONTRUN. The free, all-ages art walk stretches across more than 20 blocks. From 11…
At Two Dot Schoolhouse, Ruth Marie Tomlinson Builds an Artistic Community
For nearly 20 years, the Seattle artist and her husband have welcomed artists, writers, and musicians to a historic Montana schoolhouse. Now they’re searching for its next stewards.
At her solo exhibition last year at The Vestibule, Seattle artist Ruth Marie Tomlinson presented a new series of work inspired by her close readings of British nature writer J.A. Baker’s The Peregrine and Icelandic author Sjón’s The Blue Fox. As if on sheets torn from a sketchbook, her pages included excerpts and outtakes of…

HOOKED ON KNOCKS Admittedly, I am late to this one. The Seahawks’ first season of Hard Knocks, the HBO series that follows NFL teams through training camp, premiered in August, but until last week, I had never heard of it. To be honest, my football knowledge starts with knowing what a touchdown is and doesn’t…
