Slow Note

The slower side to music

A cozy, music-curious community based on Seattle’s EastsideDrawn to vinyl, turntables, and places where music is meant to linger

Local listening
Slow spaces worthy of leaving the house

What we're about

Records, shop talk, cozy spaces, and learning together

Join us for record shop hangs, audio store visits, or calm spaces that spin records, play piano, or host live jazz.

There are no fees, no RSVPs, and no social media. All levels welcome. Self-aware snobs allowed.

Solo curiosity
Slow discoveries worthy of staying in

Why so slow?

We like it that way.

Music deserves time.
Attention is a choice.
Not everything needs to scale.

To join a hang, suggest a place or album, or just say hello

Group learning
Slow experiences worthy of gathering together
