Robin Nolan Trio: For the Love of George Harrison

SATURDAY, SEPT 21st | 2:00 PM

Robin Nolan, an esteemed Gypsy Jazz guitarist, has led a life as captivating as his music. Born to musician parents in Vietnam in 1968, he grew up in Hong Kong where he was taught guitar by his father. His journey through music took him from Hank Williams’ standards to the Guildhall School of Music in London. A pivotal moment was the 1991 Django Reinhardt Festival in France, which profoundly influenced his musical direction. Nolan, with his swing quartet, has been a fixture on the jazz scene and continues to enchant audiences, most recently with a sold-out show at Bimhuis in Holland in September 2022.

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.
