Best of 2025: "Live at the Neptune" grant gives a Seattle band the rockstar treatment

The Neptune Theatre in the U-District is usually a place for touring musicians.

Now a new grant from local arts organizations is opening the door to local music - earlier this year they hosted a Seattle band on stage at the 1,000-person venue for a live recorded show. 

Grant winner RUB talked to us about their music, and this opportunity.
