Crazy Good Records releases 4EachOther EP rooted in Seattle’s open mic scene

Crazy Good Records has released a five-song CD from Seattle-area band 4EachOther, a folk-rock-blues project built around community, harmonies and shared musicianship. The EP is now available online and at select Puget Sound record stores, including Musicology in Edmonds.

Why it matters: - 4EachOther’s EP turns a local music story into a broader message about connection, community and shared purpose. - Crazy Good Records is using the release to spotlight an independent band with deep ties to Seattle’s open mic culture and the Puget Sound music scene. - The music is positioned as both an artistic release and a tribute to the people and places that shaped the band.

What happened: - Crazy Good Records announced a five-song CD from Seattle-area band 4EachOther on Oct. 21, 2026. - The band blends folk, rock and blues with three-part harmonies. - The release comes from a five-piece lineup: Andrew DeNance on guitar and vocals, Leroy Henry on 12-string guitar, vocals and percussion, Lisa Lusk on ukulele, vocals and percussion, Nelson Daggett on conga and percussion, and Russ Johnson on harmonica. - The band formed after a chance meeting between Johnson and DeNance on a park bench in Edmonds and later expanded through Seattle’s open mic community.

The details: - 4EachOther is part of the Band Together collective, which supports musicians and encourages people to make, share and enjoy music together. - The CD carries the message: “We can hope that someone else will solve all the problems, or we can learn to live for each other.” - The track list includes “Countryside Angel,” “Park Bench Blues,” “The Ballad of No-Repeat Miro,” “Mezcal Nights” and “Chanson Pour Les Petits Enfants.” - “The Ballad of No-Repeat Miro” honors Miro Jugum, a friend and familiar figure in Seattle’s open mic community who died in early 2025. - The album closes with 4EachOther’s version of Jimmy Buffett’s “Chanson Pour Les Petits Enfants,” with DeNance on lead vocals. - The other songs are original compositions that reflect the band’s friendships, stories and musical community. - Guest musician Andrew Lee Mason plays bass guitar on “Park Bench Blues” and “Countryside Angel.” - Alan Hardwick produced the album and plays bass guitar on three tracks. - Hardwick said the connection between the songs and the people making them first drew him to 4EachOther, and he described the band as focused on bringing communities together.

Between the lines: - The release leans on local identity, with the bench meeting, open mic connections and tribute song all reinforcing the band’s origin story. - The use of a Jimmy Buffett cover alongside original songs suggests the EP is meant to bridge familiar influence with the band’s own voice. - Crazy Good Records is framing the project as part of a larger independent-music mission, not just a single release.

What's next: - Listeners can hear the music, buy downloads and order the CD through the band’s official webpage and at local record stores in the Puget Sound area. - The CD is available at Musicology in Edmonds. - More information is available on the band’s official page. - Crazy Good Records, based in Edmonds, will continue supporting independent artists across genres through Alan Hardwick Productions.

The bottom line: - 4EachOther’s new EP is a small release with a bigger message: music as a tool for friendship, remembrance and community building.
