”Wild Is The Wind”: Musical Tribute for Nina Simone Scheduled for Lake Theatre.

Nina Simone was one of the most extraordinary artists of the twentieth century and an icon of American music. She was the consummate musical storyteller — a griot, as she would come to learn, who used her remarkable talent to create a legacy of liberation, empowerment, passion, and love expressed through a magnificent body of works. She earned the moniker ‘High Priestess of Soul’ for her ability to weave a spell so seductive and hypnotic that listeners lost track of time and space as they became absorbed in the moment.

In tribute to the late legendary master, LaRhonda Steele and Julie Amici will be bringing their vocal talent, along with pianist Mark Steele, bassist Dean Mueller, drummer Carlton Jackson and saxophonist Pete Moss, to The Lake Theater & Café, 106 N State Street in Lake Oswego for a performance on Monday, May 14. Admission to this 7:00 pm show is $20.00 through the venue’s website at laketheatercafe.com. VIP tables seating four, closest to the stage, are also available for $100.00.
