Hamilton Leithauser, lead singer for the on-indefinite-hiatus Walkmen, brought his solo tour back to Seattle last night, playing the Tractor Tavern in Ballard. While the set focused on songs from his debut solo record Black Hours, it also included two new songs featuring only he and Walkmen band mate guitarist Paul Maroon. Leithauser noted that a few weeks ago, he and Maroon completed a record together that will be released later this year. Hearing them play together again was glorious!
New York duo Jack & Eliza opened the night with an energetic set; they are an act with huge potential that I suspect we’ll be hearing more about in the next few years.
