Seattle Women's Chorus presents Lullaby of Broadway
From the SWC website:
"This harmonious musical staging celebrates the women of Broadway: Mama Rose, Auntie Mame, Annie Oakley, Mrs. Lovett, Evita, Elphaba, and Tracy Turnblad to name a few. Seattle Women's Chorus will pay tribute to these great characters, as well as shining the spotlight on some of the many great musical numbers for women, about women, and written by women."Meany Theater (UW Campus)

Hapa
from the Hapa website:
"Like the Hawaiian Islands themselves, HAPA's Pan-Polynesian music is an amalgam of infuences ranging from ancient genealogical chants to the strummed ballads of Portuguese fisherman, Spanish cowboys, and the inspired melodies and harmonies of the traditional church choirs of the early missionaries. Add to this a dose of American acoustic folk/rock, and you have what has been described as the 'most exciting and beautiful contemporary Hawaiian music the world knows!'… (Maui Times)."The Triple Door

The Thermals record release party
from their recent SXSW review in the NYT:
"...everything jumped up a notch with the Thermals, a Portland trio that demonstrated that elemental three-piece rock, accompanied by proper conviction, can approach majesty, or at least bliss under a metal roof. An incantatory “Now We Can See” included chanting from the bassist Kathy Foster, whose vigorous playing and a bouncing rock-fro were performance art in the best sense of the term. There will be a lot of lead singers in Austin this week who will do their best to plunge fully into the matters at hand, but few will match Hutch Harris, whose joyous possession let Austin know that some of the bands here play music because they almost have to. The exalt bounced off the roof and into the ears of an increasingly into-it crowd."Neumos
