During the Evening (6-9p):
•Music by B Side Brass Band – brings the New Orleans Brass Band Tradition to the Pacific NorthWest. This brassy sextet promises to get you moving and grooving, sweating up the dance floor, and moving your B(ack)side to the beat. The sound is fresh, energetic, and raw. Members include: Steve Pool (sousaphone), Marc Saccoman (trumpet), Dale Largent (drums), Gabe Shonerd (drums), Jim Cajacob (horns), and Rick Murphy (horns).
•Artist’s Reception: The work of local collagist Kaycee Anseth Collage and Creation will be featured for the month of December with the Artist present for a reception during the Last Saturday evening. Anseth uses discarded fashion and home decor magazines as her fodder for creating intricately detailed collages that explore the realms of myth and fairytale as they pertain to personal narrative. Her process is akin to painting with paper, incorporating the eye-popping palettes of high-gloss advertising into both intricate patterns and whimsical figures.
•Libations by mixologists that take the term “craft” seriously will be offered. The Root Cellar (founded by Anna Witham) combines storytelling with delicious refreshment. BackDrop Distilling will be sampling cocktails made with doTERRA International Essential Oils and Essential Balance will be sampling Chocolates made with Doterra Essential Oils.
