Vocalist Retta Christie is releasing her newest CD this Sunday at the Old Church. The CD features an all-star trio with saxophonist/clarinetist David Evans and piano-legend Dave Frishberg. Tim DuRoche at Willamette Week has the following to say about Retta:
Retta Christie has a singular knack for that curious, vastly entertaining form of Americana that swings in the recesses between jazz and country. Think Jimmie Rodgers, dustbowl prophets like Cowboy Bob Wills or Floyd Tillman, or the flatland plains poetry of Hoagy Carmichael, and you’re in the neighborhood. Fans of Irving Berlin saloon songs will be swinging till the cows come home.
The show starts at 6:30 PM – tickets are $10 in advance through brownpapertickets.com or $15 at the door.
