Centre Stage

Saturday, Dec. 19  7-9 p.m. 

Rick Shaw Concert with an Appetizer Buffet.   Rick Shaw…not a stage name, comes by songwriting honestly. He really had no choice - the genes ruled! His Grandmother – on Dad’s side was a country/ blues songwriter/singer during the depression and all through her life. She passed the country songwriting along to her son Jim Shaw, who ended up in and out of Nashville, Tennessee during his musical career, pitching songs and performing with the country artists of the 50’s 60’s and early 70’s. Rick Shaw will be performing Country/Rock/Blues/Jazz originals and covers for your enjoyment’.  Rick hails from Grants Pass, but has performed at several locations here in Brookings during this past summer.  The cover charge is $12 and will include an appetizer buffet and beverages.    Reservations are encouraged, but not required for this event.

Friday, Dec. 18  7-10 p.m.  Join us for a special evening of Christmas and inspirational entertainment!  Perry Devine hosts this event, if you are interested in performing, email us to get on the list.  Plan on doing at least a couple of holiday related songs.  The Stagelights Band will start things off…There is no cover charge, but you might bring a food item or something warm to give to the needy~or you can contribute to the Stagelights Musical Arts Community fund.
