PEARL DJANGO / 3 PARTS BOURBON

FRIDAY, SEPT. 20th | 2:00 PM

Pearl Django

(Matinee Headliner)

A revered ensemble in the Hot Club jazz tradition, Pearl Django has been a festival staple for 18 years. With over two decades of performances, they’re celebrated for their virtuosic strings, vibrant Bal Musette hues, and rhythmic swing. Their music, rooted in the legacy of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, spans jazz standards and originals. Globally recognized, they’ve graced the Festival Django Reinhardt in France and NPR’s airwaves, earning a loyal fanbase and consistently filling venues.

Take one part Michael Gray, Pearl Django's fiddler extraordinaire, add one part jazz 'cellist James Hinkley (3-cent Stamp/Billet-Deux), round that out with a potent shot of virtuoso accordion from David Lange, and you have something very cool & unique for a tasty afternoon experience!(Possibly a few surprise guests as well!)

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
