Vashon’s Cafe Luna features two free evenings of music this weekend.
On Friday, November 21 at 7:30 pm, Seattle singer/songwriter Ben Ekstedt will take the stage with a set of acoustic soul and pop music. Ekstedt fronted the Christian contemporary band Threefold and has now focused his career on breaking into the secular market.
His soulful music is inspired by John Mayer, Marc Broussard, and Justin Nozuka. His passionate stage presence establishes him as a formidable force in the music industry. Ben has been involved in various projects prior to seeking a solo career. Through the years Ben has had the opportunity to capture the Contemporary Christian Music market by fronting the band Threefold. It was during this venture that Ben had the distinct pleasure of working with Grammy winning producer Mitch Dane (Jars of Clay). With the release of four albums in a three year span Ben and Threefold toured over 30 states in North America.

On Saturday, November 22, Green is Go, a two-man rock/bluegrass/comedy team will appear at the Luna Cafe at 7:30 pm. The duo, Marc Barnhart and Jeff Masterson, plays guitar, banjo, violin, mandolin, ukulele, washboard and foot drums.
”We’re a two man band from Eugene Oregon, which essentially just takes everything good in the world (rock, bluegrass, folk, comedy, and a bit of latin flavor), and by channeling from some higher power, turns it into music through sheer hotness. We refuse to believe that we cant rock people’s socks off with nothing but acoustic instruments, and it shows. “
