HAPPENING ON BAINBRIDGE
MUSIC AT TREEHOUSE
Sunday, March 3rd at 6:30 – Donations Welcome
They’re Back!
Yvonne McAllister has been playing the trumpet since she was 3 years old when her mother, the first female trumpet player west of the Mississippi, put the instrument in her hands. Originally from Ballard, she has performed professionally all her life, including at the Show Box in Seattle where she appeared with Sophie Tucker and other greats of that era. She and her sister Jobyna worked together for many years in their band “The Sirens of Swing.” She held court regularly at the former Whiskey Creek in Keyport, and her engagements since then have continued to earn her many fans, and the admiration of other professional musicians.
Joining her at the Treehouse will be some of the musicians she has formed friendships with through the years, including our own Bill Rappaport (clarinet), Helene Smart, whose own singing has brought longtime joy to Islanders, and Tom Svornich (drums); Ted Enderly (bass); Al Harris (keyboard); Jeff Winslow (sax and flute); and Dale Brown (violin and banjo). Years of working together have resulted in a broad collection of tunes ranging from blues to jazz standards from the Great American Songbook to the occasional novelty song. Music never gets old, and neither do its lovers!
