Vashon Island Sessions with Star Anna & Shane Tutmarc at The Coffee Roasterie and Minglement
Vashon Island Sessions welcomes americana singer songwriters Star Anna and Shane Tutmarc for an acoustic concert on Sunday March 31st, 6pm at The Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie and Minglement.
This intimate showcase features Star Anna and Shane performing originals, covers, duets and collaborations as well as solo performances. In addition, special guest islander Jennifer Sutherland will sing a few tunes.
Tickets are $18.00 and all proceeds will be donated to Vashon Youth and Family Services.
Star Anna is an American vocalist and rhythm guitarist from Ellensburg, Washington, described by Barbara Mitchell of NPR as belonging to the genre of Americana and by Nicole Brodeur of the Seattle Times as alt-country. Duff McKagan wrote of her singing, "She is the real deal. There is a pain in her voice that comes from somewhere deep, a place I dare not ask where it comes from." Brodeur described her as having "A voice full of bluster that will slam the door behind you, then find itself alone to take in the loneliness, the quiet, the beauty."
Shane Tutmarc's musical roots run deep: His great-grandfather, Paul, is credited with inventing the electric guitar, and his grandfather, Bud, was an acclaimed Hawaiian steel guitar player. Before moving to Nashville, the youngest Tutmarc found success in his native Pacific Northwest as the central figure in Dolour, "a group whose best output mirrors The Shins and Jellyfish" (Nashville Scene). Many prominent Northwest musicians found their start in Tutmarc's band, including a young Robin Pecknold (principle singer/songwriter for folk-revivalist sensations, Fleet Foxes) who recently had this to say, "Shane is someone I'm very proud to have played music with when we were both coming up in Seattle - he's got an amazing ear for melody and a restless spirit of invention. Very few songwriters are as obsessed with their craft as my friend Shane." Tutmarc's also had songs in film and TV, most recently on Anthony Bourdain's hit show, The Layover, on The Travel Channel.
Jennifer Sutherland is a country crooner, comedienne, and co-founder of the winged duo The Washington State Fairies. She is also one of Vashon Island's past honorary mayors. In the roaring mid-1990's, she was front woman for the beloved alt-country band Evangeline, who produced three records. They were favorably followed and reviewed, including Playboy Magazine, and her brothers still have the article. For the past 10 years, she has worked as a writer, singer and performer with the notorious vaudeville troupe the Royal Famille du Caniveaux at festivals and events throughout the Pacific Northwest. Currently she is hostessing and producing special events at her iconic island property, The JesusBarn Farm.
