Robert Deeble was brave enough to appear at the first live event of The Kindlings Muse and brought the lyrics and sound that have been described as "wistful folk-pop, sparsely arranged, gracefully performed, and achingly beautiful to behold." His art is one that conjures such influences as Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake and has been likened to contemporaries such as James William Hindle and Josh Rouse." The two songs in this set are from his this bar has no one left Enjoy this live music from Hales Ales Brewery and Pub loft!

Our panel continues the discussion of irreligious Seattle, responding to audience questions: Is Seattle's renowned tolerance an excuse for avoiding dealing with reality? Is it more of go along to get along? Is it a barrier to real community? Would a pursuit of truths held passionately a better path? What about the three transcendentals: the good, the true, the beautiful? What about the role of Art and the passion for mystery? By the way the music as we come into the show in this segment is from "William and Alene" who will appear live in June!
