About

Simone Pin presents Dollhouse, a Southern Gothic burlesque. Welcome to the dark side, y’all… where you can find a dose of sinister, a dash of grotesque, and a whole lotta sin. What twisted secrets are Mama and her Dollhouse Coven keeping? What delusional dreams nest behind those charming doll eyes? Prepare to have a hauntingly beautiful time in the Dollhouse, and don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya, darlin’!

Featured performers:

Mama of the Dollhouse, Adra Boo

Mama of the Dollhouse, Adra Boo

Seattle soul singer, teacher and actress, Adra Boo, walks through walls. While some in the age look to construct boxes for others, Boo flouts these efforts, working to inspire through interconnectivity, sacrifice and, of course, a touch of sweetness. Formerly known in the Emerald City as one half of the electric-funk duo, Fly Moon Royalty, which has shared stages with the likes of Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings and Macklemore, Boo also performs regularly as a solo artist or as a featured singer for musicians like Erik Blood, Vox Mod, Massy Ferguson, and the Grammy Award-winning composer and Seattle native, Andrew Joslyn. Currently, she is the newest member of Seattle’s new wave noir band, Hotels, which has been proving to give the band’s sound new energy, and in this new arrangement, not even the sky is the limit.

When not singing, however, Boo works in her community in multiple facets, including holding a board seat with the Pacific Northwest Grammy Chapter, and directing the Seattle Ladies Rock Camp, energizing womxn and gender non-binary individuals towards living their best lives, musically and beyond. Boo is also a regular emcee for summer music festivals, burlesque and cabaret, and a former festival correspondent for the award-winning alternative weekly, The Stranger.

A veteran performer on a myriad stages, Boo has been compared to timeless musicians like Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner, unafraid to ruffle feathers or rouse would-be audiences. And while all of these efforts cause her to stand out in the city, it’s her work as an artistic liaison that has made her a local legend.
