Grupo Amoroso brings its Brazilian groove to the Garden Club in La Conner, in a concert benefit for the festival. The Seattle-area band plays classic bossa nova, Brazilian pop, jazz, and regional folk music. They've performed on the Brazilian music stage at the Northwest Folklife Festival. The gig starts at 7:30 p.m., and tickets are $12 at the door. The Garden Club's at 622 S. 2nd St. in La Conner.

The Immigrant's Table is a dramatic reading by the multi-talented Sanelli, whose engaging and dynamic stage presence stresses performance as strongly as literature. To reclaim who she was, the daughter of Italian immigrants, she had to return home, if only through her mother’s tattered recipes, to transform all she had inherited onto the page. Sanelli’s readings win an audience with poignant insights and gentle self-effacing humor. Join us in savoring insights and flavors from the table.
