Yoginis Quartet at Nectar in Benefit for Africa and at Jubilante

Hi Everyone,

The Yoginis and the Yogi McCaw Trio are doing a few things I’d like to post up. Our shows are at Nectar in Fremont and Jubilante in Renton

Here’s the short scoops:

Yoginis Quartet at Nectar in a benefit for Playpumps.org to help African Villages acquire clean fresh water sources.
Tuesday June 19th - benefit begins at 8pm, we play at 10:30pm
412 n 36TH St in Fremont
Seattle WA 98103

Quartet Configuration
Yogi McCaw – Keyboards/Compositions
Burt Boice – Bass and compositions
Ed Mays - Drums
Ricardo Guity – Latin percussion – our special guest, Ricardo comes to us originally from the Honduras , where his lineage is of the Garifuna people. He brings an extensive knowledge of Afro Cuban traditions to the Yoginis mix.

Playpumps builds wells to help bring fresh water to African villages where drought or other causes has made it difficult for people to have clean water. Clean water is, of course, essential to combat diseases and provide health care, as well as for preparation of food. Their website is www.playpumps.org.

View the Nectar webpage for the Playpumps Benefit with the Yoginis

And at Jubilante in Renton:

Yogi McCaw Trio
Every Tuesday 6-9pm (except NOT the 19th, when we’ll be at Nectar)

Yogis Music June 2007 The BIG rundown!

Hey everyone - bookmark this or save the email newsletter mirror some of you receive, because this is the once-in-a-while (when I have time) rundown of lots of gigs that I and my many music friends here in the Seattle area are doing. Unfortunately it is not (and cannot be) comprehensive. If I missed your Seattle Area shows, email me or respond as a comment to this post. I'll try to get it out there soon.

Now for the evangelical lecture: People, GO TO THE GIGS OF YOUR CHOICE. The Seattle scene only grows if folks GO SEE BANDS. Otherwise it's all useless. And BUY FOOD AND DRINKS TO SHOW SUPPORT for the great people that want our music in their establishments.
The MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE at a gig are NOT up on stage - the VIPs are YOU listening and appreciating the music.

As usual, first my gigs, then the rundown. You'll notice most or all of these artists are LISTED on the RIGHT HAND COLUMN. So click their sites and check them out.
