Polly O'Keary and The Rhythm Method is a seasoned, rambunctious, national and regional award-winning touring 3-piece band from Seattle. When not on a national tour, we perform regionally across the Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana) at festivals and local venues. We feature an eclectic mix of rocking Blues, rock 'n' roll, R&B, Soul, and other styles. We're known for our exceptional performance skills and high-quality music, and we put on a hilarious, engaging, and masterful show.

National recognition: Their album, "Black Crow Callin'," was a finalist for the Best Self-Produced Album at the 2018 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN. We also received the first half of the 2017 "Best Blues Band" Award by the LA Music Critic. In August 2021, after releasing the album "50," it debuted at number 8 on the Roots Music Report Contemporary charts, and their Single, "You Better Think," debuted at number 1.
Regional recognition: Polly's won the Washington Blues Society Best Female Vocalist Award 6 times, Best Songwriter 5 times, Best Blues Bass twice, and Best Album twice, and has been nominated many times across many categories, including nominations for awards across three blues societies (Inland Empire, Cascade, and the Washington Blues Society). Drummer Tommy Cook won the Blues Drummer Award for Washington Blues Society in 2017, 2019, and 2021, and guitarist David Miller is the Washington Blues Society 2020 Best Blues Guitarist.
Segrid Coleman is the lead singer and principal songwriter for The Karman Line, a genre-blending band from the North Coast. With a voice that carries both grit and tenderness, she shapes the band’s distinctive sound by blending blues, indie rock, and cosmic Americana. Her lyrics lean into honesty and edge, pairing vulnerability with a raw, unfiltered intensity.
On stage, Coleman is commanding and electric, a performer who draws listeners in rather than playing to them. Off stage, she’s a quiet storm—crafting songs that feel like late-night conversations you weren’t supposed to overhear. That tension between intimacy and power defines both her writing and her presence.
Since founding The Karman Line, Coleman has guided the band into a devoted following across indie venues and festivals. Whether singing a stripped-down ballad or a soaring anthem, her music carries both intimacy and force—resonating long after the last note fades
