www.hoodrivernews.com Hood River News, Saturday, June 13, 2015 ENTERTAINMENT U pdate A3 POETRY SLAM Submitted photo B LUES C ABARET J UNE 21 The Griffin House presents an original theatrical Broadway-blues performance by The Blues Cabaret, featuring Northwest artists Dave Fleschner, Earl Thomas, Billy Mixer, and Jimmy Wilcox on Sunday, June 21. Critics say, “The Blues Cabaret is a dynamic new song cycle about a wistful musician who finally walks the road not taken – years too late. It’s a heart-rending, knee-slap- ping ride through love lost, gained and squandered, told through sixteen-plus songs, four soulful singers and one swinging band.” Doors open at 6 p.m.; show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets available at Eventbrite.com; search for "Blues Cabaret." Early-Bird $5 dis- count for tickets purchased before Monday, June 15 (code is Fa- thersDay); a parking pass must be purchased for parking on the adjacent property.
