Halloween on Vashon!
An Artist Reception for Rebecca Douglas Join us for an evening of fun and Halloween 2008 nostalgia, as we remember and enjoy, as we peruse the fabulous photos taken of Island ghosts, ghouls, and imps taken by popular Islander photographer , Rebecca Douglas.  This is going to be fun!

Ben Gilmer Back because folks keep asking us to bring him back!

Ben Gilmer will play Luna for the third time because none of us can get enough of him. Check out his website for some musical samples and see why everyone is clamoring for more!

“Juxtaposed, in one word, Phenomenal!  Hailing from a region full of musical and family heritage, Ben Gilmer has tapped into the soul of Appalachia.  Southwest Virginia is the birthplace of country music and of course, the resurgence of Americana flows through the veins of these hills without abandonment.  When listening to Juxtaposed the spirit of these hills and the hardship and struggles that accompany life in Appalachia are brilliantly composed into an album that will enlighten your senses and provide a deeper understanding of those that choose to live in this beautiful mountain region.  Juxtaposed is full of intelligent country, folk, and blues as if Ben tapped into the spirit of Robert Johnson and substituted the cotton fields of the south for the mining region of Appalachia.  For fans of Darrell Scott, Guy Clark & Townes Van Zandt, you will find the same story-telling excellence & musical composition with Ben Gilmer’s Juxtaposed.”

-Bill Wright, WUVT Americana Director
