June 12th Pawty with a Purpose – Live Music
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
The Lovely Miz Sheryl Wiser will take to the stage around 7:30 p.m. You’ll love the soulful rhythm and roots sound of this solo artist, featuring a passionate, smoky voice and edgy electric guitar licks. Her poetic lyrics seek to unravel the mysteries of love and loss, shining a light on the passions of everyday people. Sheryl has opened for the likes of Tori Amos, Jill Sobule, The Paperboys, and Crash Test Dummies. She’ll keep the “pawty” going and bring out some new stuff you haven’t heard yet.
Jared Clifton, of Radio Nationals, will open the show around 6:30 p.m. or so. Critics say his music is a fusion of rock ‘n’ roll, pop, and country, creating a uniquely American sound compared to Neil Young, The Replacements, and Wilco. His gritty, twangy American rock will get the party started with lyrics that will stick in your head for days.
June 12th Pawty with a Purpose – Food
Monday, May 17th, 2010
The night’s Munchie Menu will be prepared by West Seattle native Daniel Joram, a.k.a. The Sailing Chef. Daniel has cooked his way through Southern France and Ireland and regularly whips up menu miracles on the high seas.
In addition to earning his 100-ton boat captain’s license, he has cooked aboard high society yachts. You can see him on the outtake DVD as the Galley Chef for the cast and crew of Pirates of the Caribbean, sailing on the tall ship Lady Washington.
Non-alcoholic beverages will be provided and we encourage you to bring your own libations and perhaps some to share.
