Liv Victorino, Sara Carbone, Sarah Not Sarah
DESCRIPTION Liv Victorino asserts that her quiet, tender songwriting shines brightest against eye-watering distortion and intensity. Following Elliott Smith, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Death Cab for Cutie, Victorino’s band zealously renders her unforgettable melodies while staunchly defending a rock band philosophy. Her set is laden with improvisational forms that deliver a new take on shoegaze, grunge, and baroque-pop. Once a folk and singer-songwriter project, Victorino reintroduced herself as an alternative rock writer in 2023 with a brand new band. Her packed performance schedule in 2024 has earned an “up next” status in Seattle. After cutting their teeth extensively in the club circuit, the group bubbled up to the top play Seattle's Bumbershoot in 2025, Idaho’s Treefort Fest, Portland’s Pickathon, Capitol Hill Block Party, and Belltown Bloom. Sarah Not Sarah is a new-ish, alt rock-ish band Sara Carbone strikes the perfect balance between poetic and authentic, making her one of the most promising folk-pop artists of this generation. With a sweet, clear voice and quirky stage presence, her sincerity demands the attention of any room. Delivering melodies bound to get stuck in your head, Sara deftly weaves together folk, pop, country, and rock to draw out emotion from even the stiffest listener. Sara’s songs tell stories of love, loss, mental health, and simple joys of the human experience - her music will resonate with anyone.
