SUMMARY:Nancy Rumbel\, David Michael\, Michael Mandrell Benefit Concert for
  Reach Out
DESCRIPTION:Grammy-winning woodwind player\, Nancy Rumbel\, finger-style gu
 itar maestro\, Michael Mandrell and local Celtic harpist\, David Michael w
 ill perform in a concert to benefit Reach Out\, a local organization that 
 makes and delivers meals to those in need. Michael McCutcheon\, the man wh
 o started and runs the nonprofit Reach Out organization—and featured in 
 the film Michael & Damien—has recently built a kitchen\, assembled a tea
 m of volunteer helpers\, and oversees the cooking and personal delivery of
  meals to Port Townsend’s homeless community and others in need. And the
  numbers are growing. They now feed around 200 folks a week. McCutcheon wi
 ll give an introductory speech at the event. The musicians will be volunte
 ering their time to present this concert and will be donating the proceeds
  to Reach Out. The trio is headlined by Nancy Rumbel\, best known for her 
 albums and concerts with guitarist Eric Tingstad\, and as a member of the 
 seminal Paul Winter Consort in the ‘70s and ‘80s. A master of the oboe
 \, English horn\, and ocarina\, she has performed widely\, from Carnegie H
 all\, to the Feng Ya Ocarina Festival in China. Rumbel also composed the t
 heme song for the syndicated radio show Bird Note\, heard by over 2 millio
 n listeners daily. Rumbel teamed up with Port Townsend harpist\, David Mic
 hael in 2019 to produce a world-fusion album\, Confluence. Michael has res
 ided in Port Townsend since 1990 and has produced 26 CDs of original music
  and several film scores. He became somewhat of an institution regionally 
 for his 17-years of impromptu\, free concerts aboard Washington State Ferr
 ies. Michael Mandrell\, hailing from Taos\, New Mexico\, met David Michael
  in 1994 while touring in the Pacific Northwest and began an ongoing colla
 boration\, performing live in numerous ensembles and playing on each other
 ’s CDs. Mandrell’s delicate guitar playing employs tinges of folk\, ja
 zz\, ethnic\, with an infusion of Celtic overtones. Mandrell was a promine
 nt guest on David’s two most recent albums Confluence and Skyburst. Rumb
 el\, Michael\, & Mandrell are eager to reunite as a trio after a sold-out 
 Port Townsend performance in November. The concert will be held at Unity o
 f Port Townsend\, located at 3918 San Juan Ave. (across the street from Bl
 ue Heron Middle School) Advance tickets are $50 or $60 at the door. Additi
 onal tax-deductible donations to Reach Out can be made when purchasing onl
 ine and at the event. More concert info: 360 301 4451\n\nhttps://mycitysce
