On March 23, 2019 the Half Brothers bring their signature smart, sharp songwriting and lush three-part harmonies to East Shore Live's concert series. A staple of Northwest musical and theatrical stages for over thirteen years, the Half Brothers write catchy, hilarious and poignant songs about the essential topics of traveling, death, and food; their new album Growing Up Weird, finds them branching out to explore themes of childhood, parenthood, and finding your place in the world. Backed with the traditional bluegrass instrumentation of banjo, mandolin and guitar, they boast a decidedly non-traditional style and repertoire. Beautifully blended voices delivering seriously sly, pointed lyrics, all wrapped in rootsy acoustic music -- the Half Brothers are for music lovers of every generation!

This internationally famous performer will add a dash of class and whimsy to The Princess Chronicles. And to spare you the shock: yes, Arnaldo is actually singing. He does not lip-synch.

Seattle singer/comedian Lisa Koch is on the bill at East Shore Unitarian for a night of quirky songs, nutty nuns, and lots of laughs.
Daft. Demented. #SNORT. Picture Tina Fey meets Bette Midler with Joan Jett guitar chops... and you’ve got Seattle’s Lisa Koch. An irreverent singer-comedian-out-sober chick, Koch (“Coke”) is a deliciously twisted mix of comedy, theater, and tunes. With 5 solo recordings, she is an alumnus of loony sketch comedy duo, Dos Fallopia (My Breasts are Out of Control, Ham for the Holidays), and cult quartet Venus Envy (I'll Be A Homo for Xmas). She has shared the stage with Steve Martin, Janis Ian, Lily Tomlin, The Indigo Girls, Kate Clinton, and more.
Lisa has co-written such warped shows as "The Carpeters: Uncomfortably Close To You," “Two’s Company, I’m a Crowd,” and “Ham for the Holidays: The Hamchurian Candidate.” Koch has been featured on Olivia and LOGO, is the composer of Off-Broadway musical “27, Rue de Fleurus”, and is proud to report that one of her songs has actually been sampled by Jay-Z.
Lisa brings to the stage her guitar, her wacky songs, and her musings on being a woman… from middle age to mammograms to singing vulvas.

This unique multicultural musical celebration focuses on jazz and the classical music of India, and highlights the common ground between these two distinct but related idioms. This concert features saxophonist Phil Scarff and tabla master Ravi Albright performing a North Indian classical segment and taking exciting jazz-influenced excursions with John Chmaj and Cascade Jazz. Together they will make musical magic in the moment!

Accompanied by guitarist John Patrick Lowrie this evening is a love song for your heart and soul. After seeing Jeannette and John perform an audience member said, "The two of them breathed together, phrased together, knew each other’s pauses and accelerandos to such a complete extent that I found myself breathing with them. Rarely have I seen such a sense of complete, effortless ensemble between two musicians." - Eric Lane Barnes, 3/19
