If you’re a blues fan, here’s your chance to do your part while taking in some great music. It’s the Blues Vespers Benefit for Peace, on the fourth of October, at Immanuel Presbyterian Church. Come hear one of the modern blues greats, Bill Sims Jr., a NYC regular who’s got a long resume that includes musician, actor (Lackawanna Blues at Seattle Rep), composer, and director (August Wilson’s Seven Guitars on Broadway).

Joining Sims will be the Mark Riley Trio, with Howard Hooper or Rob Moitoza on bass and Marty Vadalabene on drums. Formed in 2003, the eclectic trio counts Fleetwood Mac, Sonny Landreth and the great Robert Johnson as influences. Buck England will join the trio, on a B-3 organ, for the show.
This free Tacoma music event is part of Immanuel’s 100th anniversary of their north-end sanctuary.

All donations will go towards the church’s ongoing peace-keeping efforts. Doing good was never so easy.

See ya later,
Dale
