Concert with Tovi Newman and Jackie Schafer

 —  —

The Royal Room, 5000 Rainier Avenue South, Seattle

Jackie and Tovi arrived in 2015 from Alaska, where they led the group Swing 49. Jackie’s soulful and improvisational singing charmed even the most gruff Alaskan fishermen--and the judges at the 2017 Seattle Jazz Vocalist Competition, where she was a finalist! Tovi studied classical and jazz guitar at the University of Alaska--he plays hard-swinging rhythm and playful solos. Our groove is never better than when Tovi plays with us!

This event has been very popular in the past--we recommend buying tickets in advance, plus reserving a table.

Tickets: $15 advance, $20 doors - https://www.strangertickets.com/events/135856211

Concert with Monica Finney

 —  —

Bainbridge Island Museum of Art Auditorium, 550 Winslow Way E, Bainbridge Island, WA 98110

Ranger's wife Monica Finney is a wonderful vocalist! She's classically trained and has a bright, clear voice. She's a regular sub with the band on vocals and snare, and a student of Greta Matassa. Her singing adds a totally different dimension to our sound! The BIMA auditorium is one of our favorite performance spaces: beautiful and comfortable; every seat is a great one, and most importantly the sound is amazing!

These shows can fill up--we recommend you email info@RangerSwings.com for reservations. Just let Ranger know how many seats you want, and he'll send you a confirmation. There is no set ticket price; we'll just collect donations.

This event is presented solely by Ranger and the "Re-Arrangers" and may not reflect the mission and values of the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art or its staff
