Friday night I saw a show at an all-ages spot called The Corridor.
It keeps a low profile, tucked behind a Napa Auto Parts store, right off the 'Pac Highway' strip, just south of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

If you want to know the mission of the club, check out the mural on its wall:

(Hint: It's a modernized snapshot taken from Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.)

Innovation is on display here from decor to stage lighting to the alcohol-free drink menu.
It's a place where artistic energy is being expelled in a positive direction – but not just toward safe, "feel good" terrain.
The musicians owner Matt Campbell brings in are unafraid to leave behind the status quo and mingle with the masses in their pursuit of spreading truth.

Here's Campbell standing behind Ben Union, whose band played a funky, eclectic set on Friday that mixed reggae beats and acoustic poetry with hard-rock jam sessions. 

Members of the Ben Union Band are young, but don't let that fool you.
Union's a missionary's kid with a welcome dose of talent and charisma.
His drummer and bassist were chill enough to let Union command center stage, while showing their own musical chops.

The Corridor, in business since 2004, puts on rock shows, hip hop and open mic nights, dinner-and-comedy events and community benefits.
