MUSIC

Lúnasa
Kent-Meridian Performing Arts Center, Kent
Friday, March 21 7:30 p.m.

“Formed in 1997, Lúnasa has long been one of contemporary Irish music’s leading voices. Named after an ancient Celtic harvest festival in honor of the Irish god Lugh, the group that Folk Roots magazine once called an “Irish music dream team” was formed from members of some of Ireland’s greatest bands and over the years has proven its mettle time and again, having sold over a quarter of a million records, and collaborated with notable artists outside the tradition such as Natalie Merchant and Mary-Chapin Carpenter. They have performed more than 2,000 shows across 36 countries including high-profile concert venues such as Carnegie Hall, The Hollywood Bowl, National Concert Hall (Dublin), and many leading festivals.” Image and text from their website.

Different Drummer, Postmark Center for the Arts, Auburn
Friday, March 21, 7:30 p.m.

“Different Drummer is a multi-genre chamber ensemble comprised of violin, cello, double bass and percussion. This unlikely quartet creates an exhilarating visual and musical show, adding a whimsical element to the chamber/jazz ensemble. Percussionist Don Dieterich delights audiences with his “drum set” comprised of a desk, typewriter, telephone, lampshade, trash can, desk bells, stampers, and a suitcase kick drum! Experience the fun of Different Drummer!” Image and Description taken from their website.

Pierrepont Finch as he uses a little handbook called How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying to climb the corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive.

“7 Stories,”Highline Heritage Museum, Burien
Friday, March 28, 7 p.m.

“Who hasn’t been held captive by a powerful, funny, or frightening story?  7 STORIES is a night of such storytelling – to build community, empathy, and celebrate our diversity.

Each 7 STORIES night has a theme and storytellers sign up and are selected in advance. Real stories are spellbinding and raw. They are not a theatrical performance, but true life stories from your friends, acquaintances, or someone you have never met.  These stories are told from the heart. Each program is introduced by our host for the evening, with a short bio of each storyteller.”  Image and description from their website.

Free admission.
