Clinton Fearon

Abbey Arts presents CATHEDRALS XXIII: LeRoy Bell, @Clinton Fearon (solo acoustic), Whitney Mongé, Sarah Clarke (of Dirty Revival PDX) Concert curated by Terry Morgan & Whitney Monge LeRoy Bell: "Having performed with B.B. King, Van Morrison, Etta James, Al Green, Michael McDonald, Colin Hay, Mavis Staples, Keb Mo, Taj Mahal, Leon Russell, Sonny Landreth, Charlie Musselwhite and Los Lobos, not only has Bell grown as a touring artist, but the experience has given his music an edge that places him in a league of performers creating a sound that crosses many demographics" - Bainbridge Island Review Clinton Fearon: "Fearon moved to Seattle during the 1980s, and launched his solo career there. Yet he has managed to retain the same level of authenticity on his newer albums as heard of his Jamaican works, and this is true of Heart and Soul... With exceptional live performances complementing this studio output, it’s clear Fearon’s lost none of his magic." - David Katz BBC Whitney Monge: "Whitney Mongé — a former busker who started with seven cover songs and a lot of guts, a woman who writes emotional songs for people who listen to the words, a role model for young brown girls who want to play music" - Seattle Times Sarah Clarke (of Dirty Revival): “...I've often asked myself what funk would sound like if it was being made today with the same passion it was made with in its heyday. I believe we may have found the answer.” - Landon Kulmon, Daytrotter + Paste Magazine on Dirty Revival Live @ St Mark's Cathedral, Seattle 11/2/18, 7:30p show, 6:30 doors A unique open floor concert experience, quiet picnics welcome Seating available including chairs, benches, and some floor space around the stage area.

No outside alcohol please. NOISE: Please actually silence all devices. Turn off vibrate, rings, etc. If arriving late, please be advised that ushers may hold doors during each song due to acoustics of the space. NO CAMERAS WITH MECHANICAL SHUTTERS (This goes for Press too unless approved to shoot during applause only.) That means silent digital cameras/photos are ok but we really recommend you enjoy most of the show through your own 'retina screens'. Anyone exhibiting loud or disruptive behavior during the event will be asked to leave. Absolutely no talking during the performances please, this room is very live acoustically and everyone will hear you. :-) We are unable to provide a separate room for viewing this event if you are not able to be silent, so please plan accordingly before purchasing tickets. These shows are very very pin drop quiet so please consider that when deciding what ages are appropriate. No cry room available at this venue and even voices in the lobby will be heard in the concert space.
