United by Music supports talented people with intellectual and physical disabilities and gives them the chance to perform blues and swing music onstage with a live band for the general public.Blues music has specifically been chosen because of its history in helping enslaved peoples (African Americans) to overcome oppression.
We are grateful for our special cooperation with blues diva Candye Kane (USA), who was recently nominated for a National Blues Foundation Music Award for Best Contemporary Blues female.
Blog Candye KaneBlog Candye Kane, July 27, 2010 Hello Northwest Fans and Friends and everybody else that we love! We have just added a Candye Kane band show in Seattle at Hwy 99 on July 30th! Apparently harmonica great Lee Oskar has had a personal tragedy in his family and had to cancel his show on that date. So we are super excited because now we will be doing a night time performance at HWY 99 after our united by music reception. As a special bonus, we will be featuring some lovely burlesque dancers from the Seattle area to get you in the mood for our show. Please tell your friends about this last minute addition to our schedule. I am so excited to be able to invite you to a special FREE event in the Northwest for the United by Music Project all the way from the Netherlands.
