The CMers are going to be playing in Seattle at Folklife this Friday. Here’s hoping they play this sweet jam, this jellyroll of a tune. It’s nutty, but we love it. Plus, it’s named after my favorite kind of sandwich!
FOLKLIFE 2012! Friday & Saturday! FREE & The Softies are playing!!
The Northwest Folklife Festival is coordinating a series of short films called Northwest Stories about the many different cultural communities in the Northwest that are interwoven into the annual Northwest Folklife Festival (held every Memorial Day weekend at the Seattle Center). This episode, entitled Northwest Music & Arts, explores the underground music scene in Olympia and Seattle and it’s propensity to organize events accessible to audience members of all ages. Sweetness. Featured are Tender Forever, the Hive Dwellers and Mariella Luz of the Olympia All Ages Project (she is also General Manager of K). This segment was produced by Doug Plummer.

They have lay dormant since the release of their Holiday in Rhode Island [KLP119] album, as Rose Melberg and Jen Sbragia have been busy with their other musical pursuits: Rose her solo album Homemade Ship [KLP211] and Jen the All Girl Summer Fun Band. There is no doubt that the Softies have influenced scores of folks all over; why, check a recent TESTIMONIAL the Curious Mystery gave the Softies on their weblog! So very kind. The Softies will also be playing next week at the Chickfactor magazine party in Portland Oregon, along with Lois, Honeybunch and Selector Dub Narcotic.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4jr74dJL21qdkz7xo1_500.jpg)
