Three local musicians (right) headline a coffeehouse fundraiser on Saturday. Originally billed as An Evening with Anita, the June 27 event has morphed into a collaboration between Anita Stushnoff, Marlene Nash and accompanist extraordinaire Monte Anderson. The three have enjoyed several evenings of reminiscing some of the music they have learned in their (somewhat lengthy) careers. Nash giggled as she called this “Creston’s Antiques Roadshow”.
The evening will be filled with an eclectic mix of classical (Schubert), folk tunes, blues (“Basin Street Blues”), Broadway (“I Could Have Danced All Night”), Ragtime (“Maple Leaf Rag”), Spanish (“Bésame Mucho”), opera (“Libiamo”), musical (“Can’t Help Lovin’ that Man”), First Nations (the “Medicine Wheel”) andSesame Street (“Being Green”). And singers will enjoy the chance to sing along with Nash and Stushnoff.
The coffeehouse will be held at St. Stephen’s Presbyterian Church hall at 7 p.m. A delectable concession will be available, with those proceeds going to support three-year-old Garrett Sorenson as he continues his cancer treatments. Tickets are $10, available at Sunset Seed Co.
