Tacoma-based Plaid Lion combines jazz, trip-hop, and indie rock with thought-provoking songwriting and experimental elements. /// Plaid Lion has its claws deep in straight-up jazz, but loves to play cat-and-mouse with old R&B, 90s hip-hop, dub, psychedelic rock, and electronica. Imagine Sarah Vaughan and Chet Baker crooning with Portishead and A Tribe Called Quest. /// Plaid Lion consists of versatile vocalist SaraEllen, multi-instrumentalist Ian, and often for live performances, their fine collaborators.
