Rainy Days PodcastAuthor: Danny Newcomb
Seattles Music Scene Then & Now Maybe it is the 6 months of the rainy season driving bands into garages or maybe its because Seattle is geographically isolated from other major cities, or maybe it is the citys legacy of gritty upstarts dating back to the gold rush, whatever it is, Seattle has always been the birthplace history-making. Growing up in Seattle, Danny Newcomb (Shadow, Goodness, The Rockfords) has witnessed and participated in a lot of it. Rainy days podcast is a platform to talk about the Seattle music community, both past, and present.

Rainy Days Podcast Ep 5: Shelby Earl, Songwriter
Episode 5
Thursday, 3 March, 2022
Rainy Days Podcast episode five features a conversation between host Danny Newcomb and Shelby Earl, a Seattle-based songwriter and singer. Shelby Earl’s first two albums earned the kind of raves any musician would kill for. Upon hearing her 2011 debut, Burn the Boats, NPR’s Ann Powers called Earl her “new favorite songwriter,” and she wasn’t alone. Accolades followed from Rolling Stone to the Wall Street Journal and a million music sites in between that positioned her somewhere to the left of Neko Case, a few blocks from Sharon Van Etten, catercorner to Angel Olsen. She toured everywhere, playing with the likes of Loudon Wainwright, Rhett Miller, and Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, who spoke for many people when he said Earl had “the most heartbreakingly beautiful voice in Seattle.” Head to The Homestead, Newcomb’s members-only site for bonus clips and content from this conversation. Episode five featuring Shelby Earl is available March 4, 2022, wherever you listen to podcasts and can also be found in video format at DannyNewcombMusic.com/rainy-days-podcast
