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. A portion of the proceeds benefits FISH.
