Following the unfortunate events at their beloved bar Cafe Racer, and years of saying, "Man, we should make music together!", Inly was formed as members of Gravey Grime Girls and Corespondents wrote their first song to honor their friends and community. Inly serves a heavy dose of heartbreaking psych twang, with vocal harmonies that are as sweet and clean as they are haunting. Full of kickline-choral hooks, effortless harmonies and a real celebration of a klezmer-like sadness, Inly's 6 piece indie roots has a playful boldness that is as worbley as a ship and steady as a train.
A lively and melodious band, Metro Luna plays hot swing, kickin' country, and some good-time rock'n'roll. For a special Folklife treat they’ve invited a mystery guest vocalist who was raised on Planet Luna itself. Come dance to one of Seattle’s long-time favorites!
