Redhouse plans benefit to help The Haven
Tony Redhouse has long said his music, a mix of American Indian drum and flute play, is all about healing.
So it makes sense that the Tucsonan, a member of the Redhouse Family Band, would use some of the proceeds from his latest album to help the healing process.
Redhouse is set to perform a benefit gig at the Borders bookstore, 4235 N. Oracle Road, and a portion of whatever he makes on album sales during the show will go toward The Haven, a non-profit organization that works with women recovering from substance abuse.
The event itself is free and begins at 7 p.m. Saturday. For more information, call 292-1331.
Former Javalinas owner has shows coming up
People are also reading…
Bonnie Vining, the former owner of Javalinas Coffee and Friends, is getting her new musical venture off to a good start tonight with the first performance at Montgomery's Beaudry RV Park location, 5151 S. Country Club Road.
For the last five years, Javalinas held court as the only source for live, local music in the Rita Ranch area. Vining sold the coffee shop to Java Edge in December, but she wanted to keep the entertainment side of things.
It looks like she has set up shop at Montgomery's for the time being. She has shows booked through April at the restaurant, including Bright and Childers with Ice-9 at 7 p.m. tonight, Round the House on March 13 and violinist Arvel Bird on March 20.
That's the good news. The bad news is, unlike those at Javalinas, these shows aren't free.
Tonight's performance costs $5. The park's Country Club Road gates close around 3 p.m. Enter 1-2-3 on the park's entrance keypad so the restaurant can buzz you in. For more information, call 294-4009.
Cherryholmes offers acclaimed bluegrass
Cherryholmes, considered by critics to be the new first family of bluegrass, is set to perform two sets at the DesertView Performing Arts Center in Saddlebrooke today.
The sextet, led by patriarch Jere Cherryholmes and his wife, Sandy Lee, comes to the area with a new Skaggs Family Records release, "Don't Believe."
The group has been playing together for nearly a decade. In 2005, it took home Entertainers of the Year honors from the International Bluegrass Music Association. Cherryholmes' second album from Skaggs Family Records, "Cherryholmes II: Black and White," debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard bluegrass chart when it came out in 2007.
Cherryholmes will perform at 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door through DesertView, 818-1000.
Hear Charlie Hunter, master of jazz guitar
Jazz guitar virtuoso Charlie Hunter will show off a bit of his "Baboon Strength" at the Rialto Theatre, 318 E. Congress St., Sunday night.
The album is Hunter's 17th since popping onto the scene in 1993. Hunter, a former student of Joe Satriani's, is known for rocking the seven-string guitar (he has had as many as eight) and for his masterful tone and technique.
He'll come to town with Erik Kalb on drums and Eric Biondo on trumpet and an album that allaboutjazz.com calls "an outstandingly listenable snapshot of a potentially great career in progress."
The show starts at 7 p.m., and tickets cost $20 to $25 through the Rialto box office, 740-1000.
