FRIDAY, NOV. 8 2013 >>>
1. Eager to add modern attractions while staying true to the classics - this gentle tug between new and old defines the Olympia Film Festival at its 30-year mark. The Capitol Theater's sixty-five-thousand-dollar, 4K-resolution digital projector will whir to life for the first time for the French feature Swim Little Fish Swim at 6 p.m. The night cruises along with a live concert headlined by The Julie Ruin, featuring that blast from Olympia's punk past, Kathi Wilcox and Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill fame.
2. Combining angelic R&B-indebted vocals with muscular instrumentation and wistfully romantic lyrics, Tangerine sound like very little else on the market right now. Led by Marika Justad - along with drummer Miro Lion (Justad's sister), bassist Ryan Baker, and guitarist Toby Kuhn - Tangerine quickly began gaining traction and attention, aided as much by their strong live performances as by their pristine recorded songs. Where did they come from, and how did they get so good in such a short amount of time? Read Rev. Adam McKinney's full feature on Tangerine in the Music and Culture section for the answers. Then visit Anthem Coffee & Tea at 7:30 p.m. to watch the band perform with J. Martin and Jake Loden.
3. Driving Miss Daisy - an intimate socio-drama about an elderly, vinegary Jewish widow Daisy Werthen and her good-natured black chauffeur Hoke Coleburn down Dixie way spanning the pre-to-post-civil-rights era - is sweet and sharp: an examination of humanity and the racial divide with only a smattering of it's-good-for-you preachiness. At first, Hoke's presence in her life is met with disdain. But over the course of 25 years, Hoke becomes not only her chauffeur, but against all odds, her best friend. Catch the play at 7:30 p.m. in the The Dukesbay Theater at 508 S. Sixth Ave. in Tacoma.
4. If a norm jazz show is a house scotch on the rocks, then this jazz show is a Glenlivet scotch on the rocks with a twist. Percussionist/composer Steve Bentley will join forces with saxophonist Jim Pribbenow, bassist Steve Luceno and pianist Brian Kinsella to launch the Washington Center's 2013-14 Black Box Cabaret Jazz Series at 8 p.m. Bently's rhythms and arrangements take the "drums" places they've never been before. By pushing the boundaries on many levels, he mixes the influences of jazz, world beat and classical masters. It's the perfect band to open the Box.
5. The Portland-based, Idaho-born lovelies the Shook Twins are fresh off their Midwest tour and are bringing their music to the Olympia Ballroom for a night of bluegrass/rock/funk you won't forget. While talent is no question, their niche seems to be their creative use of instrumentation, which includes banjo, guitar, electric and upright bass, mandolin, electric guitar, electronic drums, beatbox, glockenspiel, ukulele, banjo drumming and their signature golden egg. Shook Twins performance will be a perfect accompaniment to local lady Kendl Winter, known for her solo gems of loop pedal, guitar and banjo. The fun begins at 8 p.m.
