Montlake Unabridged Retrospective 2015

October 15, 2015 by gehrkenathalie 1 Comment

From late May to September’s end, the artists, musicians, and writers of Montlake offered our community their creative gifts. Sixteen artists, 6 musical acts, and 5 writers entertained us in downtown Montlake. Their artworks, performances, and presentations appeared in our Montlake Library and businesses (Café Lago, Edward Jones Investments, FUEL, Glam & Tonics Aveda, Mr. Johnson’s Antiques, the Montlake Bicycle Shop, and Traveler Montlake.) The events were generously supported by other businesses (Coven, the Montlake Boulevard Market, and Mont’s Market). All this was underwritten by your Montlake Community Club (MCC) and planned by its Arts & Culture committee. Count yourself lucky if you had the opportunity to enjoy any of these art shows, musical performances, or evenings with writers across the four months. Please, let your MCC Board know your thoughts.

Bluster Blows Busker Band — To Fuel

September 10, 2015 by gehrkenathalie Leave a Comment

IMG_0301Hot, sunny and dry ALL summer, but Saturday afternoon (Aug. 29): No such luck! Big Winds Blew in from El Nino. Turned out fine anyway. The WMS Junior Fiddlers wisely gave up the idea of entertaining on Montlake’s blustery Downtown street corner and set up to perform in our cozy, dry neighborhood FUEL Coffee shop instead. Sounded Great!

The seven young string band musicians from Washington Middle School played two polished and well-practiced sets of old-time fiddle songs, favorites from an earlier era, and a tango-like toe-tapper that had some at the tables looking for a dance floor. Three fiddlers (Tatiana Linden, Alyssa Tou, and Binh Vo), one violist (Isabelle Randolph Wang), one mandolin player (Rylee Jo Bundesmann), and two bassists (Nina Zito and Matthew Lord) brought rounds of applause from the audience. Sure, a number of them were groupie parents, but lots of other folks at the tables and waiting in line for warming coffee drinks were equally appreciative.

Enjoy the afternoon event “in retrospect” through the slide show below, with photos by Jonathan Phillips. This event was sponsored by your Montlake Community Club, and was the closer of our Montlake Unabridged 2015 music events. You can still see Montlake artists’ works at Glam & Tonic Aveda and at Edward Jones Investments through September.

Lisa Furukawa Performs At Fuel Montlake Sunday, Aug 23

August 18, 2015 by gehrkenathalie Leave a Comment

lisafurukawaFUEL Coffee Montlake invites you to hear Lisa Furukawa (Monroe) in a special two-hour set of original songs this coming Sunday afternoon, August 23rd (3:30-5:30 p.m.). In this, her Montlake debut, you can listen to Lisa’s amazing voice performing songs from her four albums (www.lisafurukawa.com ). She might even sing her newest songs not yet available to the public. You’ll hear an engaging fusion of folk, alternative chamber pop, and electronics as Lisa combines soulful piano and vocal ballads –from elegant love songs to complex Celtic jigs.

Since 2005 Lisa has been touring Japanese animation and media conventions around the world. Asian and Celtic folk themes merge in her pop music—a perfect blend of her Japanese and Scottish heritage. She started musical studies at the age of 2, and, yes, she comes from an extraordinarily musical family.

Lisa Furukawa has performed at festivals, conferences, and consulate functions, not to mention various benefit performances for causes close to her heart. Her recent move to Seattle, and specifically to our Montlake neighborhood, makes us the lucky neighbors and audience for her highly original and wonderfully engaging music.

Stroll over to FUEL Sunday, grab your favorite afternoon coffee drink and then make yourself a part of the mesmerized audience.

Lisa Furukawa’s performance at FUEL is sponsored by your Montlake Community Club as a part of the Montlake Unabridged series.

Musicians & Artists Treat Traveler’s Diners

June 26, 2015 by gehrkenathalie Leave a Comment

IMG_1676A special happy hour at the Traveler Montlake on the 14th: Songwriters performed their favorite tunes; artists offered their creations; diners tried out the new Montlake sliders & Montlake Mules—a winning combination for guests on a sunshine filled Sunday evening. On the mezzanine, Clark Snyder, Moss, and Bob Freed with rhythm man Roger, brought applause with their original songs of lost hubcaps, unopened boxes, homeless dogs, and broken hearts.

IMG_1628In the front window section, diners purchased special watercolors and jewelry shown by artists Gail Wong and Mary Freiburger. All this happiness offered with the gracious hosting of Traveler’s Manager, Anna Brameld.

Max Entertains On Guitar Amidst Antiques

June 24, 2015 by gehrkenathalie Leave a Comment

IMG_1515Just a week ago, Max Mondzac took time out of his busy high school graduation schedule to play for the community in the doorway of Mr. Johnson’s Antiques in our Montlake downtown. Max expertly brought forth tunes from classical to contemporary, competing with the noise of heavy traffic on the street. An appreciative audience perched on collectible chairs from Matt Johnson’s merchandise, then strolled inside to check out the other amazing antiques. You stroll in too–and look for Max in other Montlake locations as the summer progresses.

Max Mondzac Stars at Mr. Johnson’s Antiques

June 10, 2015 by gehrkenathalie Leave a Comment

maxresdefaultIt’s a busy week for Max Mondzac: 1) Graduate from Northwest School 2) Celebrate 3) Play guitar at Mr. Johnson’s Antiques in downtown Montlake. You may not be able to get to the graduation ceremony or celebration, BUT you certainly can join him on Sunday, the 14th from 1:30 to 3:00 at Matt Johnson’s doorway 2315 24th Ave E. Hear Max playing some favorite guitar classics, some new finger style favorites, and maybe if you’re lucky, some of his own compositions.

Not too long ago (April), Max entertained at Town Hall for the Arts Fest Gala and wowed about 500 people with his version of a Tommy Emmanuel tune, The Tall Fiddler. Take a listen:   Max plays with Apollo 8, the Seattle band that you may have heard perform in the area–including Montlake Elementary’s Art Walk. Come out and give Max a hearing –and congratulate him on his graduation; ask him about his plans too. And while you’re there, browse Mr. Johnson’s Antiques. You’ll find something to carry home and cherish.

Max’s appearance sponsored by your Montlake Community Club.
