Join us in welcoming Jessie Thoreson & The Crown Fire!

Jessie Thoreson & The Crown Fire is a Seattle-based folk-rock band known for their dynamic blend of melodic energy and lyrical depth. Their propulsive, energetic music is grounded by upright bass and drums and buoyed by acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies. Their music is inspired by lyrical stylings of the folk legends Joni Mitchell and John Prine but draws from the grit and complexity of artists including Fiona Apple, FINOM, Madison Cunningham, and Lake Street Dive.

The band's name, "The Crown Fire," comes from songwriter Jessie Thoreson's work as a fire ecologist, symbolizing the transformative power of high severity wildfire. This exploration of natural systems is a recurring theme in The Crown Fire's music. Their playful, yet sophisticated, music is a celebration of life's complexities, contradictions, and cycles.
