Saturday at 2:05pm on the Tito's stage. This is a good introduction:
Brittany Davis has been making a name for themselves in the Seattle music scene the past several years as the keyboardist for Stone Gossard’s (Pearl Jam) side project Painted Shield.
And now Davis is making even more of a name for themselves for their own music.
A native of Kansas City, Missouri, Davis’s debut full-length album Image Issues comes out March 1 on Gossard’s label Loosegroove Records. It’s a concept album dealing with the struggles of growing up black, blind, and nonbinary, as well as family trauma such as gun violence and the US prison system. The 26 tracks on Image Issues are blended with spoken word vignettes from Davis.
“I started playing piano at church as kid with a love of gospel and jazz,” Davis says. “As I grew older I found my love of hip hop and R&B songs. I like to describe myself as a vessel of sound and experience music in spirit and colors. Everything is an instrument to me.”
She has been on World Cafe, did a Tiny Desk Concert, and played at KEXP.
"Disconnected" is one of her first songs. Nice tune.
"I Choose to Live" is a hip hop song with a message. It's good.
Her new album is funk/blues/rock style. It should go over well in the tent.
This is a new one. It's her most streamed song.
