A promotional trailer for last year’s Jamboree produced by Warner from his documentary “A Subdued Doc” celebrating 10 years of subduedness at the Deming Logging Show grounds near Bellingham
Jamboree co-founder, producer and nephew Robert Sarazin Blake will bring a little taste of the annual festival to Snohomish on Sunday, June 3, for our first concert of the 2012 summer.

Yes! Snohomish’s own Wired! Band is playing a fundraising concert here on Friday, May 18, from 7 to 9p.
The $20 suggested contribution will go toward producing the 5th Annual Taste of Music Fest held in August, downtown Snohomish. Last year, the Wired! won a spot at the festival to represent the Washington Blues Society in Memphis at the 2012 International Blues Challenge — which they won — First Place!
The Snohomish Bakery is donating pizza and Fred’s Rivertown Ale House is bringing kegs of beer!
All we need is you.
Warner shot this footage on his iPad as he attended two nights of quarter-finals in Memphis, but had to travel on to New Orleans and missed the big moment!

This past October, Jonathan Ross spent several days photographing the garden and interiors of AngelArmsWorks for use in his and his wife’s stock photograph production business Anderson Ross located in Edmonds.
Hope you enjoy the slideshow while Paige, Karen and I plan another summer of music.

They’re back! The Saint Helens String Quartet will erupt again in the historic nave of the former St Michaels church/now art studio with the following program on Sunday, August 14th –
Igor Stravinsky’s Concertino
White Man Sleeps by Kevin Volans
Charleston Noir by Elena Kats-Chernin
Morango….Almost a Tango by Thomas Oboe Lee
Alex Bishop’s new quartet: 1. Shadow Dance, 2. Dreambirds, 3. Nocturne
Alex’s hauting After the Rain premiered here last summer and a video of the performance is available on the Concert Clips page.
And Karen’s over the top summer supper will also return … but with this concert it will be served before the music due to violinist Stephen Bryant’s earlier commitment with the Seattle Symphony.

Again: Sunday, July 10th. Click on any image to view a short slideshow of the Trio’s concert and garden supper in August 2009.
“So what happens when this insatiable musician straps on his alto sax to lead his own sparkling trio? Quite simply, sweet release ensues — consider the offering too good to pass up.”
Listen to an 18 minute interview of Michael and Dave Beck on KUOW.

Singer, songwriter, rancher, horseman, and the original, world-famous Yahoo!® yodeler, Wylie Gustafson leads the musical outfit known as The Wild West. The first incarnation of the group formed in 1989, getting its start on Ronnie Mack’s Barn Dance at the Palomino Club in North Hollywood. Since then, Wylie & The Wild West have played thousands of gigs, delighting audiences around the world with their unique brand of good-time cowboy music. They’ve performed at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering, The National Folk Festival, Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, on A Prairie Home Companion, and have appeared more than 50 times on the Grand Ole Opry. Add to that an appearance by Wylie on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, with Wylie teaching Conan to yodel. And now: Sundays in Snohomish on June 12th

Karen and Warner are happy to announce their eighth season of summer concerts: Wylie Gustafson in June, the Michael Brockman Trio in July, and our resident string quartet, the Saint Helen’s String Quartet, in August.
For virgin readers, the concerts are presented in the remodeled nave of the former St Michael’s Church in Snohomish, Washington — captured in the picture above by our friend Tom Hamilton, ace hot air balloon pilot.
The grand old room is used as an art studio when you aren’t here, listening to a concert, so it’s a place for ‘house or studio concerts’ and not a commercial venue. Consequently, tickets are not sold, nor seats reserved, but offered on first come, first served basis.
The suggested donation is $25 per person, which goes to the artists, save for a small percentage to cover Karen’s cost for preparing a sumptuous summer supper. Details like this and more are included in email concert reminders to subscribers only.
So dear virgin reader: you may wish to follow this link to subscribe!

On Tuesday, December 21st, we will be celebrating the Winter Solstice here in Snohomish with our 5th Annual Candlelight Walk along the Riverfront Trail. The event is sponsored by Karen’s Yoga Circle Studio and you can find all the details at the studio’s website. Hope you can join us.
Regarding next summer’s concerts, we received an exciting email from Paige last month that read in part: “I am thinking of a nice trio of dishes — a Spanish guitar concert, one cowboy ballad concert with Wylie Gustavson, and then the Saint Helens Quartet — fare might be Alex Bishop’s startlingly gorgeous new work that we just premiered at Cornish, the beautiful Czech string quartet by Smetena, and other gems….”
We are feeling all summery just thinking about it!
Stay warm,
Karen & Warner
