And now for our special announcement: Quimper Sound is proud to present Wayne Horvitz and his band Sweeter Than The Day live at the Upstage on Saturday April 22nd! Mr Horvitz is world renowned as a composer, pianist and bandleader and his recordings with his latest ensemble have garnered rave reviews both here and abroad: "Horvitz' understanding of country, blues, folk and even singer-songwriter-type music is made quite plain on this CD. None of these elements are represented in an obvious way, and that's perhaps the main reason why this disc appeals so strongly. The strength of the music lies in Horvitz' beautifully crafted compositions. Like Monk and Herbie Nichols, Horvitz is able to create memorable and distinctive melody lines from seemingly disparate, even mundane, motifs and phrases." - Dave Wayne, Jazz Weekly "... towards a quietly powerful chamber modernism full of eclectic composerly acumen that makes dreamlike reference to jazz, country, folk and hymn-like material. Delightful and original." - Chris Ingham, Mojo (UK) ...and on and on. Tickets are only $15 and are available at the store. We expect there will be a lot of folks coming into town from Seattle, etc. to see this show so we recommend that you get your tickets early. Please join us for this very special event.

Quimper Sound sells tickets to local events as a community service and never charges a fee. Because we give all the proceeds back to the performers we can only accept cash or checks made out to the performers themselves. All tickets are General Admission unless otherwise noted. -Useful Links- http://www.quimpersound.com http://www.ptguide.com (city guide to Port Townsend - Historic Victorian Seaport) http://musicmavericks.publicradio.org/ (Your tax dollars at work - in a good way!) http://www.centrum.org/ (Washington's home for the arts and creative education) -Privacy Statement- Quimper Sound collects email addresses on a voluntary basis and only for the purposes of sending you this newsletter or other store-related updates. Except for some friends, family and select business associates (whom I took the liberty to sign up myself) every email address used was submitted on a form at Quimper Sound. If you think there has been some mistake, send email to steve@quimpersound.com and I will personally see that your address is removed - I hate spam as much as you do. Your address will never be sold, given away or hinted at. We respect your privacy. Your Rose Theatre ticket stub may now be redeemed at Quimper Sound for $1 off any purchase of $10 or more. This offer is valid for one month from movie date, one stub per purchase. While it's not valid on gift certificates or tickets - there are no other restrictions.
