The Comet Magazine

Due to this months cover of The Comet Magazine a few folks out there are once again flipping them over as to avoid civil unrest and juvenile delinquency. On the bright side, it illustrates the power of advertising in the Comet!

The September issue is filling up fast and we are already selling ads for October. Message me ASAP if you want in.

This Saturday The Old Barn Drinkery hosts The Voice's Lila Forde with special guests Laine&Lahd. Kris Lahd did a great interview for The Comet Magazine with Forde about her time on The Voice, her style, influences and more. Check it out here!

By Kris Lahd 24 year old Seattle native singer/songwriter, Lila Forde not only caught the immediate attention of music superstars John Legend, Gwen Stefani, Reba McEntire, and Niall Horan, she also captivated millions of hearts world-wide with her smooth, old-soul vocal talents on season 24 of NBC.....

An amazing night all around. Even more amazing that over 400 people showed up after only having a couple weeks to plan and organize and promote the show.

Thanks again to Joel Myrene and the Numerica Performing Arts Center for making it happen, and a special thanks to the cast and crew of Rock of Ages (Jaime Donegan) who graciously moved their rehearsals at the last minute so this show could happen. This one took a village! And it was worth it, if the Bonafide Band rolls into your town, don’t miss it. Krist stayed and talked with a massive line of fans, a true gent! Also CobraHawk blew the doors off the place. They just get better and better. The energy in that room was electric from the first note.

Getting to see Mark Pickerel play drums for a Screaming Trees song was my highlight of the night. I never got to see the Trees during that era so this was a first. I’ll be buzzing a while.

My interview with Nirvana's Krist Novoselic is online for those who haven't seen the print version of the July's The Comet Magazine!

Very much looking forward to this show this Friday at Numerica Performing Arts Center which also features former Screaming Trees drummer Mark Pickerel. Get your tix now, this has sold very well in spite of the quick booking (thanks to Joel Myrene for that)!

by ron evans Well, Wenatchee is in for a galldurn treat this month. Krist Novoselic, co-founder and bassist for Nirvana is coming to Numerica Performing Arts Center July 12. And he’s bringing some of his notable pals, including original Screaming Trees drummer Mark Pickerel. Sure, this is a fever

If you’re a fan of Nirvana and the bulk of the music that was coming out of Seattle (and adjacent to) in the early 90s you will have lots chomp on in the July issue of The Comet Magazine! I interviewed Krist Novoselic about the new Bonafide Band project that he’s bringing to Wenatchee on the 12th. I also interviewed famed photographer, Charles Peterson about capturing and chronicling one of the biggest music scenes in history and about his brand new book on Nirvana. This issue is pretty epic! Drops Wednesday.

Cat's out of the bag - it's happening. Nirvana and Screaming Trees are two of my favorite bands. Getting to make a little poster for some of my musical heroes was neat. Getting to see them play LIVE in Wenatchee at Love for the Numerica PAC is even neater. Thank Joel Myrene of Apple Valley Vinyl Record Expo for facilitating this.

Jaime Donegan's (timely) article in The Comet Magazine on the origins of Bavarian Leavenworth has certainly stirred up some conversations! Read the full story here:

By Jaime Donegan Much has been written about the small, fairytale Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA. Newspaper articles, tourist brochures and even a book entitled “Miracle Town” tell the story of a boom town that went bust several times during the first half of the 1900’s. Nestled in the Casca...

Issue 67 of The Comet Magazine is heading to the printer. I’m always a little cramped up with a good eye twitch going by the time this thing heads out the door. Even more so as I’m finishing up final touches for my art show coming up this Friday.

But I have to give a HUGE shout out to Sarah Sims for not only proofing, but otherwise contributing to this fabulous issue. All while kicking ass at being a single mom, and going to school and being literally in the middle of moving out because she was evicted by a jack ass landlord. Now that’s a whirlwind week!

The issue drops tomorrow. Get it delivered by signing up here: https://www.radarstationart.com/thecomet/thecomet

Recently a few thoughtful and supportive folks have have purchased ads in The Comet Magazine for other businesses and events they wanted to show some love too. That never occurred to me - but it's a great idea and a great way to support a local biz, our community AND The Comet at the same time.

Many small (especially new) businesses are on a tight budget and pressed for time, so advertising isn't something they can do. But you can Buy A Business an Ad! It can be done anonymously if you choose. We can work with them on creating the ads if needed. Message or email me if you'd like to get in on this.
