Fundraiser for favorite Yakima venue

An event is coming up to help support a favorite entertainment venue in Yakima.

What is now the Seasons Performance Hall was repurposed from a church into a venue for live music and performances of all kinds in 2005. Since then, it has hosted musical genres ranging from folk to jazz, classical, and more. An upcoming event will ensure it continues to thrive.

Blake Nobel will be the headliner. In addition to enjoying an unusual musical performance from Nobel, the event includes a wine tasting and small bites. Attendees will receive scrip for four tastings, along with a commemorative wine glass. A wine pull and silent auction are also scheduled.

Nobel, who originally hails from Australia, is now based in Seattle. A guitarist and composer, he plays the didgeridoo, an instrument that is at least 1,000 years old and was created by Aboriginal people in northern Australia. The instrument makes a strange droning sound that is unmistakable, and though played around the globe, is still associated with Indigenous Australians. A review says:

"His music at times seems to tell stories that most bands and musicians can’t convey on their best days."


The Seasons fundraiser is October 20, from 6:00 pm until 9:30 pm. VIP tickets are $75 and include early entry at 5:00 pm, while general admission is $50 and tickets for those who want to attend only the show are $25. Organizers of events like this can use poster printing to create advertising for the evening.
