Jason Everett will play world music
Jason Everett plays a variety of stringed and percussive instruments, including his custom Conklin seven-string fretless bass guitar, electric upright bass and an electric sitar of his own design.
Everett will play his instrumental world music from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday at The Hardware Store Restaurant.
Everett, who is also a composer, arranger and producer, released his first solo album of Indian-influenced world music “Tal Maya” in 2010 and more recently produced and released “Waves of Sound” with his world fusion band, Tarana.
Young thespians perform shortened version of play
The Vashon Island Shakespeare Festival’s ShakesKIDS will perform a one-hour version of William Shakespeare’s play “Hamlet” at 7 p.m. Friday at the Ober Park performance space.
ShakesKIDS’ version of “Hamlet” is stripped of its political storyline, which reveals questions of how individuals cope with and move forward in the face of a radical shift in circumstance. The children explore related questions like: When is action preferable to inaction? When is loyalty more important than self preservation? Who am I when tested by fate? The children, ages 9 to 12, each take a turn playing Hamlet.
All ages are welcome at the free event.
