Re-live Seattle's 2019 Capitol Hill Block Party with artist Scarlet Parke.

Pop/electro-soul artist Scarlet Parke, with guitarist Dimiter Yordanov, performs "Never Going Home" from her upcoming debut record "Flight Risk."

Black Stax’s sound is like Miles Davis, Etta James and Langston Hughes adapted for savvy, hip-hop and neo-soul listeners. By any standard, their music is not ordinary and nothing is dumbed-down or gimmicky. It is smart music; every word carefully chosen and every song carries a message of social justice and community upliftment. Fans appreciate their eclectic, urban sound laced with jazz and 70s-era soul, which provides life’s soundtrack to the sophisticated connoisseur. A collaboration that works, Black Stax successfully blends and bends the musical genres of blues, jazz, R&B, and hip-hop.

While COVID-19 and the statewide shelter-in-place mandate disproportionately impact the arts and food service industries, Black artists and restaurant owners are some of the hardest hit. With the lack of support from the government, we believe that mutual aid and joint community efforts are some of the most critical ways we can show up for our community. Shelter Fest Seattle exists to amplify Black voices in our community and beyond while highlighting individuals and organizations who have been doing this work long before the current moment.

We were lucky enough to have Town OG's, Black Stax come through to chop it up, give us their backstory and talk about their upcoming European tour. Considering that we've never had much interaction, it turned into an amazing conversation. Great stories and lots of laughs, I guess that's the point of our podcast though right? If you don't know, it's time to Get Familiar. It's The Biggest! More episodes available at www.thebiggestpodcast.com
