Cabarock hits Echo Theatre
Cabaret meets rock-and-roll
abarock, a theatrical musical performance
drawing from rock and roll, vaudeville,
Broadway show tunes, traditional spirituals
even polka, will play Echo Theatre for one
night only, Nov. 3, at 8 pm.
The show features Portland native Danno,
who says: “First and foremost, ‘Cabarock’ is
entertainment And by way of entertaining, it
shows that whatever goals we strive for—
including the elimination of the fear that creates
racism, sexism and homophobia— can best be
achieved by working together.
“ ‘Cabarock’ explores connections among
music from various genres. Audiences will be
familiar with most if not all of the songs in the
show. The songs are a mixed bag, but the
structure of Cabarock explores their common
theme of togetherness,” says Danno. For
C
Cabarock, he will be backed by the danceable
five-piece Shady Band. Flashy-trashy costum
and
ing as well as a human bubble-blower will top
it all off.
Cabarock evolved from what was originally
a one-man cabaret show, which Danno
performed at the Duplex in New York City and
Steinway Hall in Los Angeles in the early ’80s.
After performing for two years in Portland as
front man for the band Phil and the Blanx,
which also drew from divergent musical styles,
Danno expanded the cabarct-meets-rock-and-
roll concept into “Cabarock.”
Tickets are $6 at the door, and donations of
a can of food arc suggested. Food donations
will go to Esther’s Pantry. Echo Theatre is
located at 1515 SE 37th Avc.
