Rising Star: The Music of American Idol’s Alec Shaw

When you hear the music that 23-year old Seattle musician Alec Shaw is writing and performing you know he’s headed somewhere big. But whether he knows that yet is a different story.

Several of Alec's most popular songs are featured throughout our discussion as we banter about about his romantic life, his (super talented!) creative process, and how he's dealt with stage fright and performance anxiety.

The Grungiest Place in Seattle

"Kurt Cobain had actually referred to The Dutchman as ‘the grungiest place in Seattle.'" That's Gary Mula, former owner of the storied Dutchman recording studio, an artsy warehouse recording/rehearsal destroyed by fire in 2009. We talk about the way music changed his life and exhibit some of Gary's favorite artists like Sun Crow, Chris Orlowski, and Kevin Sur and Andrew Joslyn.
