Ara James, Jamie Stillway in concert

Vocalist Ara James and fingerstyle guitarist Jamie Stillway will present an evening of sound poetry, eclectic covers, spellbinding vocals, and instrumental guitar, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, at Vashon Center for the Arts.

The two Vashon favorites rarely perform together but are teaming up for a celebration of the release of Jamie’s latest album. They will be joined by Vashon musicians Andrew Reissiger (of Dromedary), Bruce Phares, and Bill Moyer to debut a new collection of original work.
