David Miles Keenan and Nova Karina Devonie, aka “Miles & Karina”, are uncommonly delightful artists that draw inspiration from mid-century music, art and architecture to create an original sound unlike any other. They use their musical imaginations to create sonic cinematic worlds for all of us to visit; leaving happier than when we arrived.

These creative skills landed them several commissions for original film scores to silent films to which they play their compositions live - like the piano players of old but instead written specifically for each film. M&K have released 3 CD’s of largely original music and have won awards for their films “Talk Tale” in 2023 and “Dusty Village” in 2025.

Leslie Braly and Johnny Sangster have been singing and writing songs individually for decades, and they remain passionate pluralists in Seattle’s music scene – Sangster as an in-demand producer, engineer, and guitarist (The Tripwires, Mudhoney, Neko Case) and Braly as the leader of longstanding Americana outfit Pineola and sought-after collaborator. But something rare takes place when they write and perform together: a proverbial third voice joins the chorus, evident to anyone who has heard their 2022 debut, Permanent Wave. This voice speaks for the multiplicity of selves present in each of us – aching, stubborn, strutting, stumbling, crestfallen, deliriously in love – often in the space of a single measure or stanza. Their alchemy finds new expression and potency in Braly Sangster’s new album, Candy Wrappers.
