Of course it's the music that carries the day when we're out experiencing a new band at a local venue.

I will say, though, that some bands manage to bring a little something extra, a little bit more of themselves.

Last Thursday we went out to Tim's Tavern in Burien to experience Young-Chhaylee. Right off the bat, the lead singer gets into his given name and the confusion it incurs with strangers. For anyone with an even mildly different name, that tiny bit of sharing rings absolutely true. And yeah. It's nice to be part of the club. Even if it exists because of mildly annoying to crazy annoying behavior. ☺️

After that introduction and not long into the set comes a confession: Young-Chhaylee admits to feeling like the individuals in his band are better musicians than he which gives license to this little piece of advice:

If you wanna start a band, hire people who are more talented than you.

It's a refreshingly humble thing to say... with a bit of endearing thrown in for good measure.

Later after that, he indulges some self-reflection from the stage that you don't see every day. A brief reminder on the challenges of human life in this very moment:

Do you sometimes think you don't know what you're doing with your life?

Of course I realize gigs aren't meant to be therapy sessions. I do think, however, that it's not the worst thing in the world to give people a touch of a sense that they're not alone.

Even at shows.

I appreciate the honesty, is all.

Toward the end of the set, he introduces the upcoming song with a story and prefaces his introduction with

"This is me. This music is me."

So what's the deal?

Well, it turns out that once upon a time he was at a bar and became quite taken with the bartender. So he took to sitting at the bar when he was there so that he could strike up conversations with her. He went on and on about this woman, pouring his heart out from the stage.

Here's the thing, though. Earlier that evening I was introduced to his girlfriend.

Whoops.

Okay no. False alarm.

He was talking about her this whole time which was very very very very super sweet.

Plus, it was a great song about feels. ❤️❤️❤️

I think we're all suckers for stories like that.

In the end, it was an all-time great performance. More personal. More relatable. I asked Linzy if these were originals because the quality of music was so astonishing. I told her this band should open for Bruno Mars and she replied

"They should open for Silk Sonic" which is an R&B/soul/funk/hip-hop/pop super duo composed of musicians Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak.

It's a helluva thing the quality of professional music and musicians you can see around town anymore that are worth seeing again and again.

Add one more to the list:
