Join Seattle roots country sensation Zoe Muth & The Lost High Rollers for an evening of straight-up country twang. Zoe swept the Seattle scene by storm with her uncanny debut album in 2009. Now she’s garnered the attention of others across the nation, signing to Signature Records for her follow up album to be released in April 2011. Join us tonight to get a special preview of her new album and new songs. This is a rare chance to catch such an amazing songwriter in an intimate venue like Empty Sea Studios, so don’t miss out!
Zoe Muth comes to you from the rainy city of Seattle, but the twang in her voice is from the deepest veins of country singing. She sounds like she grew up under the lights of the Grand Ol Opry, but in fact she burst onto the Northwest music scene in 2009 with a debut album that took everyone by surprise. So what makes her such an exciting discovery? Perhaps it’s her voice. A voice which floats between a heartbreaking whisper of regret and a razor-sharp blast of anger. Or maybe her virtuosic songwriting that draws from images of gritty, urban Seattle.
The Next Gen Folk Series is jointly presented by Hearth Music, Victory Music and Empty Sea Studios.
And definitely it’s her backing band, the Lost High Rollers, which is a who’s-who of Northwest country talent. This is music to calm your urban cowboy, to nurse a fresh hangover, to lull you to sleep in your neon-lit apartment. This is real music for real people, just the way country music should be.

Amongst red rocks, dry soil, and clear sky, Cahalen Morrison was reared on Hot Rize, Doc Watson, Norman Blake and Rory Block while running around in a diaper, trying (at times unsuccessfully) not to fall into patches of prickly pear. Now, he’s got the ears for roots music. Hopping effortlessly from fingerpicking to mandolin, clawhammer banjo to lap slide guitar, Cahalen’s writing encompasses everything from punchy political commentaries, to soul warming serenades, branching out into instrumental rags and fiddle tunes, yet still retaining his subtle musical signature.
Though only 24, he is quite well traveled, having toured nonstop for 2 years. In June of 2008, Cahalen debuted his first full length record. Subcontinent has been applauded by his peers, and by spun regularly by DJs and fans across the country. After its release, Cahalen hit the road hard, not spending more than two weeks anywhere for a solid 13 months before taking a break. From Santa Fe to Seattle, New Orleans to Minneapolis, Nashville to Boston, he has played most every nook and cranny of this fine country.
In November of 2009, Cahalen released his second record, a live album entitled Old-Timey & New-Fangled featuring his father Dave Morrison on guitar and fiddle, Santa Fe fiddler Andy Cameron, and Jenny Fisher on harmony vocals. OT&NF was recorded live on August 14th, at the historic Western Jubilee Warehouse Theater in downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado by Butch Hause (engineer for Norman Blake, Don Edwards, and Waddie Mitchell.)
Joining Cahalen will be Eli West, former singer and guitarist of the bluegrass band Loose Digits, playing musical chairs on clawhammer banjo, flatpicking guitar, and octave mandolin.
Sharing the bill with Cahalen is Seattle’s own Zoe Muth.
