Good Time Tunes & Rollicking Lyrics On Guitar, Ukulele, and Harmonica
Del Rey started playing guitar when she was four years old. At thirteen, she was immersed in the world of folk music, via the San Diego Folk Festival. She has tried to get a whole band onto her solo instrument from the beginning. This gives her music an interesting complexity, especially when applied to the ukulele.
Rags, blues and tunes of the early 20th century are her specialty, even as she writes new music to add to the tradition. Del Rey also has fashion sense that would make Minnie Pearl smile.
Vashon resident Mark Graham is nationally revered equally for his old time harmonica playing and for his amazing, drop-dead clever songs on subjects ranging from Oedipus Rex to the mysteries and social impacts of Viagra. A founding member of the influential Seattle band The Hurricane Ridge Runners in the late ’70s, Mark went on to tour with Kevin Burke’s Open House and The Kings of Mongrel Folk, and play on stages with many other great musicians.
General admission tickets are $20 advance and $25 on the day of the show.
