Tacoma Arts Month In the Cooler: Oct. 10

If silk had a voice and heartbreak wore cologne, it would sound like Rocky Sandoval. Tacoma’s R&B son returns for one night of slow-burn soul — falsetto shimmer, sweat-slick confession, and beats that ache in all the right places.

Rocky Sandoval: Live at The Eleanor | Friday, Oct. 10 | Tacoma Armory Roosevelt Room, 8 p.m.

All October long, we at Peaks & Pints are pairing Tacoma Arts Month happenings with beers from our 13-door cooler — because art deserves a pint after the applause, and beer tastes better when it carries a story from the stage, the gallery, or the street.

If silk had a voice and heartbreak wore cologne, it would sound like Rocky Sandoval. Tacoma’s R&B son returns for one night of slow-burn soul — falsetto shimmer, sweat-slick confession, and beats that ache in all the right places. Presented by Tacoma Arts Live, the Roosevelt Room transforms into a velvet-lit lounge where every lyric feels handwritten, every chorus a whisper meant just for you.

Cooler Pairing: Oskar Blues Ten Fidy
When the final note still trembles in your ribs, crack Oskar Blues Ten Fidy — jet-black, espresso-laced, dangerously smooth. A stout that drinks like heartache wrapped in chocolate, the encore you didn’t want to end.
