Honk Fest West, the fabulous, boisterous bacchanal of tubas, trumpets, accordions and drums put on by street musicians from all four corners of the country, will be returning to Gas Works Park and other spots around Seattle this June 1st – 3rd.
To help you get in the spirit (and to help put it on), they’re holding a fundraiser this Saturday night over in Fremont. Tina touts:
The fundraiser is called Honk! Around the World! and is being held Sat 2/25 at Hales.
This is HONK! Fest West’s first sponsored event of 2012. Join as we celebrate the amazing artistry and noise which comes when music and dance from all over the world slams together in a burst of powerful intensity!
We are pleased to present musical sets from Tubaluba, VamoLá, Nu Klezmer Army, and the brilliant gypsy-inspired Makedon, alongside performances from Lesley Rialto, Whisper De Corvo, Skin Deep Dance, award-winning bellydancers Mecia andMelody Anderson, and the Emerald Rain dance troupe.
The event is all-ages! Tickets will be sold in advance for $15, and at the door for $20. Kids under 15 are $10.
BOOM!
Can’t wait! This is going to be great! Come on down for a good party for a good cause (i.e., an even better party — HONK! Fest West in June)! 🙂
