Seattle Cabaret Festival

We have two fantastic one hour shows this Thursday May 23 and both are NOT to be missed!!

The 7PM is ROGER SCHMELZER and the Seattle Cabaret Festival debut of JHASMINE RABARA. Roger is a seasoned cabaret performer gracing the stages of New York and his native Indiana. His mentor is the legendary Marliyn Maye https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilyn_Maye . He is paired with the young ingenue Jhasmine Rabara from Seattle and who is currently breaking through the jazz music scene locally as well. Tickets at https://rogerjhasminemay23.bpt.me/

The 9pm features the lovely Kim Maguire Jazz who has been performing regularly in Seattle. Listen to Kim's beautifully trained voice and most of all her story. Get to know Kim better and beyond her music. She is paired with the highly energetic and gorgeous melodies of SUGARTIME TRIO in their SCF debut as well!

SCF 2024: Kim Maguire and Sugartime Trio, Thursday May 23 @ 9 PM

The first two weeks of Seattle Cabaret Festival showcased many magical cabaret performances. From the exciting opening night at The Triple Door to the intimate stage of Egan's in Ballard, it proves that cabaret is very much alive and going strong in Seattle.

If you missed the first two weeks, you missed Arnaldo Drag Chanteuse, Puerto Vallarta's Joan Houston, Bob Bruneau, Jeannette d'Armand & Greg Fulton, Julie Cascioppo, John Allman, Mark "Mom" Finley, San Franciscso's Linda Kosut and New York's Craig Pomeranz.

FEAR NOT as the next two weeks will feature more cabaret performers like Indiana's Roger Schmelzer, Jhasmine Rabara, Kim Maguire Jazz, Sugartime Trio, Bobbi Kotula, Karen Skrinder & Taylor Stuts, Bodacious Ladyhood, Faye B Summers, Angie Louise, Art Anderson, Matt Dela Cruz, Matthew Stull, Heather Ward Studios, Mark Rabe, Grethen Rumbaugh & Joanne Klein!

To see these amazing performers, go to https://seattlecabaretfestival.com/2024-festival-calendar and join us for an exciting evening of music, laughter and intimate stories that will tug your heartstrings at Egan's!

So what good is sitting alone in your room? Get off your couch and see you at the cabaret!
