Backstory:
Formed in the vibrant city of Seattle in 2012, Creative Estate emerged from a shared college dorm room and a love for eclectic sounds. The band consists of four members: lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Ben McAllister, bassist and backing vocalist Mike Henderson, drummer Jake Hargreaves, and lead guitarist Lucy Carlson. The four friends, each hailing from different parts of the country, found common ground through their shared affection for music that breaks traditional molds. They played their first gig at a small-time college event and never looked back. Named after their dilapidated apartment block, which they fondly referred to as their “creative estate,” the band prides itself on creating music that tells stories of their journey, struggles, and their unfazed determination.

“Chasing Shadows”
Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Am Em G D
We were just kids, lost in the echoes
Am Em G D
Running wild, under neon rainbows
Am Em G D
Promises whispered, secrets we let go
Am Em G D
In the night, chasing shadows
[Chorus]
C G Am F
Hold on, we’re outrunning the dawn
C G Am F
Chasing shadows, until they’re gone
C G Am F
In this dance, we’re forever drawn
C G Am F
Chasing shadows, before the morning comes
[Verse 2]
Am Em G D
Dreams took flight, in our creative estate
Am Em G D
Strumming chords, defying fate
Am Em G D
In the reflection, we found our mates
Am Em G D
In the night, chasing shadows
(Repeat Chorus)

Every song resonates with me on a deep level and reflects experiences that I’ve personally lived through. I’ve traveled across state lines to catch their live performances and I’ve never been disappointed. Their energy on stage is unparalleled. My favorite song is “Chasing Shadows” because it reminds me of my own youth, the dreams I chased, and the friends I made along the way. There’s something incredibly genuine about their lyrics that I haven’t found in any other band yet. Creative Estate is more than just my favorite band, they’re a part of my life.
