ROMANTEEK IN ONE RING, TALLHOUSE CONSORTIUM IN THE OTHER >>>

Saturday in Olympia Romanteek is back again, packing the group's unique sound of hypnotic vocals, sometimes breezy, sometimes moody melodies, layered with soul-soothing guitar riffs and dance-beat drums into the Capital Theater for an event called "All of the Shadows Open." For this performance Olympia's Romanteek will pair with another local favorite, the Tallhouse Arts Consortium - a trapeze and aerialist troupe. The two live performances will weave story, music and movement into a spectacular show for all the senses.

"It's going to be awesome," says Wes Hauffe, a performer with Tallhouse. "The music and movement and mood will carry from start to finish. We're really happy with what we've created."

The Capitol Theater's website boasts, "Set in the shadows of a dense wood, a dark heart, a deep sea, the show winds through an otherworldly soundscape."

The event also marks the celebration of Romanteek's new album, Fairies, Death, and other Animals.

Says Hauffe, "It will be a wonderful, unique event - and we're only doing it once! Don't miss it!"
