2010 Annual PHCT Music Blast Fundraiser  - Saturday, February 20, 2010 at 7:00pm

Advance On-line Tickets: $10 (open seating)

At the door Tickets: $12

Join PHCT as we present a fabulous night of musical entertainment (four half hour sets each) from some of the best known entertainers around. Kicking off the evening will be Halie Loren and Matt Treder. Halie's award-winning jazz vocals, which have been compared to such greats as Billie Holiday, Norah Jones and Bonnie Raitt, are just incredible. You don't just hear her music, you experience it from the inside out.  And Matt's piano work is simply, in a word, sublime.

Set two features Forest Tomlinson and the Coast Fork Ramblers This old-style Bluegrass/folk band brings the sweet blend of original American roots music, with its foundation in Irish, Scottish and Welsh traditional music, to life. A total musical experience of guitar, fiddle, bass, drums and vocals that will make you true fans from the very first note!

After a brief intermission of scrumptious desserts (included with the price of admission) Matthew Pavilani will dazzle you on the piano. This accomplished musician will present modern compositions as well as classical pieces, and you will be amazed at the sounds he can create with just ten fingers. A mesmerizing experience, to be sure.

And bringing down the house will be the incredible ensemble of Calamity Jazz. This group of authentic traditional jazz performers has performed up and down the west coast, but they call our community home. From ragtime to New Orleans to San Francisco-style jazz, their sound is a real crowd-pleaser!
