What an eclectic bill has been gathered together for Olympia Live! - a benefit show for young breast cancer survivors. You've got a little bit of everything here, from the country-fried rock of Rodeo Kill, to the jazz swing of the Jessica Blinn Quartet, to the warped psychedelia of Glass Elevator and the classic rock idolatry of the Hard Way - all your bases are pretty well covered. But the real treat of the event will be a special appearance from prolific songwriter, and slightly less prolific singer, Victoria Williams. Williams specializes in a sort of classicist folk with just a hint of weirdness lurking in the lyrics and in her light, wispy voice. This'll be an interesting show, and a worthy one, for those with diverse tastes.
[Capitol Theater, 8 p.m., $10 DOS, $5 advance, all ages, 206 Fifth Ave. SE, Olympia, 360.754.6670]

You can get those advance tickets at Rainy Day Records if you're in Oly, or at brownpapertickets.com! If you come to this show, you might even win a prize. (We have some pretty nice ones -- jewelry, and gift certificates, and a limited-edition, signed Pearl Jam poster and such.)
All proceeds from this event go to two very worthy organizations: The Pink Daisy Project and Young Survival Coalition - Seattle.
