Today's friend of the podcast delivers a wonderful blend of raw, singer-songwriter blues with the epic soundscapes of the classics. About a year ago she pulled a Hail Mary and jumped coasts to Nashville. Over the course of 12 days she brought her latest album “Alligator” to life – which is truly one of the strongest albums I've heard front-to-back in some time. So without further ado, please welcome – one of my favorite songwriters out of Seattle and fellow lyric hoarder – Katie Kuffel. The episode is now available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and most major podcast providers

I walked into Leah T’s house in West Seattle and fell in love. This girl hand-painted all her furniture teal, she’s hauled a beautiful old piano in the living room, there are plants and guitars hanging on the wall, beers chillin’ outside the front door, a view of the city through the window, and a throw pillow that said “Dwight, you ignorant slut.” — “So when do I move in?” was my first thought. ;P Leah T plays piano / keyboard professionally in multiple bands in Seattle. She also has her own music project, she has released multiple records, and back in Minnesota she studied Piano Performance at college. She’s woven her way deep into the Seattle music scene and she’s earning her living through full time music and very occasional dog walking. Leah was referred to me by our mutual friend, Katie Kuffel (yo girl! — Katie was on Episode #7: I Realized There’s a “Fuck It” Adjustment That Comes with Being a Musician) and Katie said that I had to talk to Leah about what it’s like to be a female backing musicians in so many bands, working with so many different musicians. → BLOG POST (Video, Quotes, & Photos) https://chawilde.com/blog/you-have-to-be-active-in-the-music-scene-if-you-want-to-play-in-lots-of-bands-with-leah-t → Watch on Youtube https://youtu.be/87JdvpwrWE8 → Leah T Singer-Songwriter | Seattle, WA http://leahtmusic.com/ → Wilde Musicians Podcast chawilde.com/podcast CHA WILDE chawilde.com @chawilde ♡ OTHER PLACES TO FIND ME ♡ ↠ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/artist/0zwsrpWYJ7ZFraivcuPHv1 ↠ Website - http://www.wildeasfuck.com ↠ Instagram - https://instagram.com/chawilde ↠ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/chawilde/ ↠ Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/chawilde ↠ Youtube SUBSCRIBE - https://www.youtube.com/dashboard?o=U
When Katie Kuffel sings, my jaw drops…every time. She started writing songs in high school to release angst and since 2013 or so she’s been mastering the hustle, running her fully-time music business and juggling illustration and bartending on the side. Katie sings about mental health, sexual identity, assault, general well-being, and recovery and most of her followers are young women, non-binary individuals, LGBTQ, very liberal minded humans. She currently leads a trio band and like I said, when she sings, I’m always surprised by its power. For this interview, Katie welcomes me into her adorable old house in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle; full of plants, rubber stamps, leather boots drying with fresh polish on the self, a weird-ass retro leg lamp, a cello, and a piano. Join us as we drink tea in her kitchen corner and discuss the juggling act of running a business and creating art, how to read the room as a performer, our feelings about fame and big egos, how to connect with fans through social media and what Katie calls ‘the fuck it adjustment”. → BLOG POST (Video, Quotes, & Photos) https://chawilde.com/blog/i-realized-theres-a-fuck-it-adjustment-that-comes-with-being-a-musician-with-katie-kuffel-wilde-musicians-podcast → Watch on YouTube https://youtu.be/-SfoVgxi_Ik → Katie Kuffel Singer-Songwriter | Seattle WA https://www.katiekuffel.com/ → Wilde Musicians Podcast chawilde.com/podcast → Cha Wilde http://chawilde.com @chawilde

Katie Kuffel is a composer and musician based in Seattle, Washington. Her first full-length album, Pearls, was released in October of 2015 after a successful Kickstarter campaign. Her first EP, Animal Pragmatist, was released in 2013. Katie’s songwriting is both innovative and thoughtful, with a contemporary sound that draws from blues, jazz, and folk music as well as her training in classical cello and jazz piano. An openly queer artist, she explores concepts of sexuality and femininity throughout her works. Katie has been featured as the musical act in popular podcast Welcome to Nightvale, and in PopMatters as one of the ‘best musical hopes to break out on 2016.' In the words of author Adam Finley: Pearls sounds like alternate-reality Regina Spektor, heavily steeped in the Pacific Northwest with bright piano and a gorgeous voice gliding, rich and effortless, through craftily constructed songs that balance whimsy and self-awareness. Pearls is available on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon and Bandcamp, and Katie can be found performing at venues throughout Seattle and the greater Pacific Northwest. As always, recorded LIVE at Guilt & Company Visit Guilt & Company online via www.guiltandcompany.com - or in person at 1 Alexander Street in Historic Gastown, Vancouver, BC.
