19th Annual Come Out Show: Artistic Directions
7 pm
For 19 years Sinatra DeVine Productions has been producing show-stopping variety shows highlighting up-and-coming Drag Queen performances in celebration of National Coming Out Day. This show has always been on the cutting edge when “drag” was only considered taboo. Our last show was in 2016, and fans and supporters have been “aching” to be part of that fabulously dragalicious experience once more. Chaz Malibu and Fontana DeVine will again serve as your hosts with the most. Come see past entertainers and newcomers, and remember and celebrate the lives of those whom we have lost. Take out your boa, crowns, high heels, and wigs…the higher the better. See you for this one-night-only event!
$25 w/ discounts for students and seniors
Emporium & JAW Present Tommy Emmanuel
8 pm (doors open at 7 pm)
$43, no discounts
“Songs are our teachers. They show us the depth of the human race and its unrelenting desire to create.”—Tommy Emmanuel
Any time you talk to any of Tommy Emmanuel’s fans, whether musicians or audience members, invariably they will speak of not one but two qualities that define his greatness. The first, predictably, is his extraordinary guitar playing. Tommy is considered by those in the know to be among this planet’s greatest guitarists, and his playing is simply miraculous, as it would take three musicians, or more, to do what he does solo. Who else, for example, when playing “Day Tripper,” can lay down the rhythm part, dig into the riff, and sing the melody all at once with just one acoustic guitar?
Nacha Mendez Trio
7:30 pm
Nacha Mendez combines storytelling, music, and song in a journey through her personal experience that speaks to her Latin blood, Native American history, and experience as an artist throughout Europe. Mendez grew up in the small border town of La Union in southern New Mexico, where she began singing and playing guitar at an early age. She learned traditional ranchera singing from her grandmother and performed in border towns near El Paso.
$17 w/ $2 discount for NHCC members
