Albatross to perform at
the Sou’Wester Lodge
SEAVIEW, Wash. — The
Sou’Wester Lodge will host
a performance by Albatross
at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12.

In the winter of 2011,
band leader Ryan Sollee
(who is also the frontman for
the Builders and the Butch-
ers) was asked to write the
score for a musical adapta-
tion of “Woyzeck” by Georg
Büchner. He incorporated
the talent of Joel Andrew,
Cristina Cano, Amanda
Lawrence, and Paul Seeley
to musically paint the haunt-
ing story of a man driven to
madness — and the tale of a
dinosaur that evolves into an
albatross.
The group decided they
were too in love to leave
each other after the play
was over. From then on,
they were Albatross, a band
formed from a pet project.
The band performs indie
folk, dark Americana and
murder ballads with theatri-
cal strings, all ingrained with
storytelling.

Tempo Gallery will feature work
by local fabric artist Alexandra Myers
during the November art walk. She
has been sewing since her mother
first taught her how to sew a jumper
at the age of 8. Myers began quilting
in 2007 and quickly realized modern
art quilts was the route for her. “My
quilts are mostly original ideas, using
machine piecing and free-motion
quilting, though I am beginning
to branch out and do some hand
stitching and bead embellishing,” she
says. “I love line drawings and am
experimenting with using the sewing
machine as my ‘pencil’ to draw on the
fabric. I am currently working mostly
with abstract ideas concentrating on
color and value.” Come meet and talk
with the artists. Refreshments will
be served.
