A Night of Healing : The Two Spirit Creation Story
2023-10-12 19:00 - 21:00
THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT.

You’re invited to join us for a captivating evening of storytelling and spiritual healing as we welcome our honored guest, a Native American Chief, to Miller’s. We will delve into the rich tapestry of the Diné (Navajo) culture through the ancient Two Spirit Creation Story. Rooted in timelessness, our honored guest will highlight the Navajo’s intricate understanding of gender, spirituality, and the unique gifts each of us bring into our world.

This Two Spirit Creation Story, passed down through generations, is a sacred narrative that weaves together elements of nature, spirituality, and identity. Our guest speaker will share the powerful tale of the first two spirits, who embodied both masculine and feminine energies, and how their journey sets the stage for the harmonious balance within the universe.
But this event is not just about storytelling; it’s also a space for spiritual healing and self-discovery. As we absorb the wisdom of the Two Spirit Creation Story, you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on your own journey of self-acceptance and healing. Connect with like-minded individuals and share your thoughts and experiences in a supportive and open-hearted environment.
Together, let us find unity, balance, and a deeper appreciation for the tales that shaped the Navajo people and can inspire us all. Come and be a part of this unique and healing event that bridges ancient wisdom with contemporary understanding.

Willow and Wood with The Black Feathers
2023-10-13 20:00
Willow and Wood is Willow Scrivner and Kevin Wood, a married couple who create a sonic landscape of both solitude and beauty, hovering between the warmth of Americana and the cool darkness of dream pop. The band’s music is transcendent: both a study of the geography of place, and the constant search for home. Their songs ache with both hope and a broken heart. Those contradictions are at the core of what makes the band so special. Falling somewhere between indie pop and indie folk, they have created a sound rooted in a West Coast reverb-drenched loneliness, dripping with southern humidity and darkness – and determined to find the magic.
The Black Feathers, made up of Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler first became aware of the magic between them while collaborating on several musical projects, becoming The Black Feathers and life partners in 2012. Americana, Folk, and Acoustic Indie Rock sensibilities coexist comfortably in their musical world, with Hughes’ guitar work buoying the kind of harmonies often only heard in family bands. Their music quickly draws the interest of listeners, but it is the stage chemistry that will keep them riveted.

The Four songs from Small Paul’s debut “Strangeland” reflect ideas of traveling forward, movement and self reflection.The images of the road that rolls under us as we push ahead through grief,change,isolation, and the passing of time and people.
The EP at its core captures the band playing together live.Kevin and Chris trade lead vocal and drum/guitar duties, with Malcolm contributing backing vocals for Small Paul’s three part harmonies as well as bass and Seth coloring the songs with keys.

Whilst drag has maintained a powerful presence in entertainment, it also deserves recognition for being an example of an expressive and empowering art form. It is a form of performance and art and should be considered as such. It combines skills of fashion and facial/bodily metamorphosis to create the illusion of a gender. Drag queens exude femininity and female empowerment through their appearance. Ultimately, drag is about becoming a whole new person, freed by concepts of gender and sexuality. It is intended to liberate and excite!

Electric Bonsai Band, Jo Miller with special guest Orville Johnson, and Greg Scott
2023-11-04 20:00
Electric Bonsai Band is neither electric nor a band…it’s actually singer/songwriter Andrew Ratshin, and his acoustic guitar. Best known as a member of, and principal songwriter for, the group Uncle Bonsai, Andrew has released five solo albums of original material and been included on a number of compilation projects.
With the release of his debut recording, “I Am Joe’s Eyes”, Andrew began headlining at clubs and festivals across North America; with his live release, “20 Seconds Of Pleasure” (a collection of 20-second and 40-second songs) and the critically acclaimed, “But I’m Happy Now”, Andrew established himself as “one of the premier songwriters of his generation” (The Maverick Report). The release of “Lounging In The Belly Of The Beast” had Sing Out magazine proclaiming Andrew “an absolute original” and say that “there’s more than enough brilliance here to entice and seduce open minded listeners who appreciate exceptionally well written songs.”
In addition to his solo performances, Andrew continues to perform with Uncle Bonsai. The group recently premiered Andrew’s brand new, 25-song song cycle, “Seven Sins, Seven Wonders, Seven Dwarfs”, and Andrew has begun recording his sixth Electric Bonsai Band release, “The Other Glass”
Jo Miller (w/special guest Orville Johnson). Back in the “Old Days” (1980’s to 2006) Jo Milla’ was a killa’! At least if your musical tastes leaned toward Western Roots. She was the lead singer, writer and frontman for the legendary Cowgirl band, Ranch Romance, who was picked up as an opener for kd Lang touring the US and Canada. Often featured on Prairie Home Companion as well as many notable festivals and concert venues Ranch Romance, in their spangled cowgirl duds, were always a favorite. Jo Miller and Her Burly Roughnecks hit the scene in ‘99. That was a jumpin band adored by the swing dance set, the pompadoured Rockabillies and Honky Tonk mavens. Seattle’s notorious roadhouse, “The Little Red Hen”, became home until the nights got too long, the money too short and the irreplaceable slap bassist moved to New York. For the last many years Jo has redirected her attention to the craft of carpentry and building odd little structures. On occasion she can be seen on stage telling “true stories” from her unfinished memoir “Never Holler Whoa At A Horserace”.
Greg Scott, In the old days when singer-songwriters ruled the Northwest Folklife Festival, Greg Scott was one that audiences made sure to seek out. With songs full of wry wit and tenderhearted longing, Greg accompanies his distinctive baritone voice with skillful guitar in a variety of styles. “Moonlight Ain’t No Use To Me”, “Too Long A Time”, and “Work For The County” are just a few of his popular originals. Of late, Greg has been working a bit under the radar, with a composing group consisting of crackerjack musicians Julian Smedley, Kim Scanlon, Ben Smith, and Libby Torrance. “The Palace Thieves“ will be releasing an album in 2024. Greg returns to the solo stage tonight with some of his classic material and some new songs as well.

Community Education Series
2023-11-16 19:00 - 21:00
Snovalley Pride is thrilled to partner with the GSBA (Greater Seattle Business Alliance) for this FREE Community Education event, where we will learn about specific LGBTQ+ topics and have an opportunity for Q&A to get your questions answered!

In this gathering we will discuss:
Micro Aggressions and Macro Impact
Communication is key in an ever-changing world. Relating to each other on an empathetic and human level is pivotal to cultivating long lasting relationships. Learn how commonly perpetuated stereotypes and turns of phrase can be deeply harmful, even when they seem innocuous to the average person.
Goals
-Develop an understanding of how microaggressions contribute to the oppression of marginalized people.
-Learn to readily identify different types of microaggressions and how to call them out in your day to day life.
After our presentation from the GSBA, the floor will be open for you to ask questions to gain a better understanding of these topics. Gather with like-minded people in our Valley community, make new friends, and feel supported as we gain a deeper understanding of these topics together.

This event is FREE to the public because of the generous donations we have received from our community.
Equality is good business.

Arran Fagan and John Lensing
2023-11-17 20:00
Arran Fagan has earned praise for his introspective lyrics and vivid storytelling, Portland-based folk artist Arran Fagan has garnered a following in his native Oregon with his uncanny ability to weave the personal and universal. After getting his start in the grassroots music scene of Southern Oregon, Arran has spent the greater part of his life pursuing music, creating wistful and evocative songs that explore themes that connect us all—loss, addiction, change, and the endless passage of time.
John Lensing started out as a street performer, writing songs and driving around the US to play them for people. Slowly, this led to playing more proper shows, but the goal has always been the same. to make people care — about others, themselves, and things that sometimes hurt to care about. His genre-blurring songwriting has brought him on tours all across North America and Europe. Most notably playing a showcase at the Sommer in Altona festival (Hamburg), and being named “an artist to watch” by No Depression.

Zan Fiskum and Alec Shaw
2023-12-01 20:00
Zan Fiskum was raised in the small town of Maple Valley, WA where she spent most of her time either running barefoot in the forest or volunteering with her family at a local dinner theater, both of which inspired her to make the music she is today. Her angelic voice soars over her soulful and ethereal storytelling. Reminiscent of artists Lana Del Ray and Brandi Carlile, she blends the lines between indie/pop and americana/folk as she writes about childhood trauma, the intricacies of family dynamics, connection to the natural world as well as a fan-favorite: love.
Alec Shaw is a singer/songwriter and producer raised in the foothills of the cascades in Washington State, garnering attention as an artist whose sound has developed into a soulful combination of two large worlds of musical influence rooted in gospel and Appalachian folk. Vocally, he bridges a gap between Otis Redding and Jeff Buckley with a knack for engaging and ethereal arrangements.

Nathaniel Talbot Trio with Martha Scanlan and Jon Neufeld
2024-02-09 20:00
Nathaniel Talbot’s music has dirt under its fingernails, the product of decades of hard work and crafting – retuning, replanting, and retelling. The result is true American roots music that combines the soulful edge of tradition with the Pacific Northwest’s legacy of freedom and innovation.
“Talbot pushes our understanding of ourselves through the intensity of his songcraft. Even the instrumental tracks are enough to make you stop what you’re doing and listen.” – No Depression
Martha Scanlan is an award-winning songwriter based in western Montana. Her writing comes out of some of the deepest roots of Americana, winding between the mountains of East Tennessee and some of Montana’s most remote landscapes including a 120 year old cattle ranch where she spent years living and working. She appeared on TBone Burnette’s Cold Mountain soundtrack with former bandmates Reeltime Travelers. Her songs have been covered by Sarah Jarosz, Andrew Marlin, Amy Helm and Solas and have found their way into books by celebrated American authors Rick Bass and Joyce Carol Oates.

Expect the unexpected…Tinkham Road is one of the only bands in the Seattle area performing historical northwest compositions (think logging songs, train tunes, hobo camp poetry and murder ballads of the pacific northwest)
Bob Antone has been featured on the Seattle Channel performing live at the Space Needle along with Lisa Brooks, Feliks Banel, Dave Ross and others celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Seattle World’s Fair.

FREE Community Talk with Q&A
2024-02-21 19:00 - 20:30
Snovalley Pride is thrilled to partner with the GSBA (Greater Seattle Business Alliance) for this FREE Community Education series. Gather with like-minded members of our Valley community to learn ways you can be the best Ally possible! River is an amazing teacher and we are thrilled to host her for her third presentation at Miller’s! We create a safe and welcoming container for you to connect with our community, learn some new information, and ask any questions you might have.

In this third gathering we will discuss:
Intersectionality & Where You Fit
As we come to understand intersecting identities how do we translate that into allowing others to show up as their whole selves in day to day life? What is power and privilege and how can we use it to leverage ourselves against oppression?
Allyship Everywhere
Oppression is a systemic issue that also takes root in our everyday lives. Learn where and when you can incorporate more accessibility and inclusion in your everyday practices. Test out your allyship muscles in real time as we work through active ally scenarios as a group.
Goals
•Discuss the importance of intersectionality as it relates to creating more inclusive spaces.
•Cultivate an understanding of the overlap between privilege and allyship and how to utilize privilege effectively to best support marginalized people.
During our presentation from the GSBA, the floor will be open for you to ask questions to gain a better understanding of these topics. Gather with like-minded people in our Valley community, make new friends, and feel supported as we gain a deeper understanding of these topics together.

This event is FREE to the public because of the generous donations we have received from our community.
Doors open at 6:45pm. Please feel free to bring in food from area restaurants!
Equality is good business.
All Ages Event.
