6 B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 2015 SEAcoast 2015-16 season to be exciting, eclectic SEAcoast Entertainment Association has announced its concert lineup for 2015-16 and association president Ernie Doud promises it to be another outstanding season. “For 35 years, SEAcoast Entertainment Association has provided Florence with world- class entertainment at afford- able prices — from household names to undiscovered gems,” Doud said. “Classics to jazz, eclectic to electric, ballet to big band — concert goers will love this season’s variety. There will be something for every- one.” The 2015-16 season will fea- ture international-caliber Latin, pop, jazz and classical artists Quattrosound, popular singer Ken Lavigne, guitarist Jesse Cook, Ballet Fantastique, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Shuffle Concert, and gypsy- jazz artists The New Hot Club of America. In addition, SEAcoast is partnering with award-winning author and speaker Bob Welch to offer tickets for the debut of his new stage show, Bob Welch and Friends. The season kicks off Friday, Oct. 9, with Latin Grammy- nominated Quattrosound, an innovative ensemble that blends Latin pop, jazz and clas- sical into a delicious new genre called “popzzical” that raises the bar of originality while pay- ing homage to the classics and forging a contemporary new sound. Ken Lavigne — He’s got the looks. He’s got the charm. He’s most certainly got the voice. And now SEAcoast has got him for Florence. Lavigne has per- formed on many world stages, including New York’s Carnegie Hall and in England for Prince Charles. It will be a great date night or girl’s night out on Saturday, Nov. 21. While most don’t get the chance to dine in the cafés of Seville or dance in the clubs in Havana, Florence will experi- ence a sense of that passionate cultural vibe through the music of guitarist Jesse Cook and his band. Cook’s music has been featured on episodes of “Sex and The City,” The Chris Isaak Show and during several Olympic Games. Cook and his group of multi-talented musi- cians perform Saturday, Jan. 23, 2016. On Wednesday, Feb. 10, Ballet Fantastique brings the premiere of Dragon and the Night Queen: Celtic Stories, which forges a new and dra- ance is a completely cus- tomized and memorable experi- ence. Don’t miss this rare Thursday night concert on April 7. You’ll be in luck on Friday, May 13, when The New Hot Club of America comes to “wow” Florence. This dazzling ensemble is comprised of some of today’s top gypsy jazz artists in North America. You’ll want to tango in your seat as they recapture the sound, style and spirit of the 1930’s-era Hot Club of France.
