Drum With Us: Friday, November 7
Start the weekend with a ritual to honor the cycle of the moon. Step into sacred space that’s fun, community building, and liberating! Drumming happens the Friday closest to the full moon at 7 pm in the Northwoods UU sanctuary. Optional smudging beforehand. All experience levels are welcome. Children who can follow basic drumming etiquette are also very welcome. Bring your drum, shaky think, or share from our generous collection. Please, invite friends.
Special Millbend Coffeehouse Concert
Shake Russell
November 15th @ 7:00pm
(This performance will be a Special Third Saturday concert, and a dedicated fundraiser for Fill The Gap!)
Shake is the first musician to be named Texas Music Association Entertainer of the Year three times (2004, 2008, 2011). Weaving sophisticated harmonies through his songs and drawing from various genres, Shake created a style of folk-rock that is uniquely his own. His repertoire consists of a blend of love songs, ballads, and waltzes, skillfully balanced with lively rockabilly tunes and soulful rhythm & blues pieces. His lyrics are imbued with beautiful imagery, catchy phrases, and inventive similes and metaphors. But it is the rich, melodious voice of Shake Russell that breathes life and spirit into the lyrics.
Houston area singer-songwriter Gabriella Rose will Open this concert with some of her own original music.
