6x8 image unframed, original watercolor painting.
Skylark is one of the places that keeps West Seattle’s music scene from becoming too tidy. Tucked along Delridge, it combines the looseness of a neighborhood bar with the improbable energy of a real small venue: local bands, open mics, karaoke, drag, trivia, and whoever happens to wander in that night. It is a little gritty, welcoming, and unconcerned with polish. I love that it still feels built for participation rather than spectatorship, a place where the boundary between the crowd and the stage is never especially firm.
