Put yourself in QuaranTune

With two hybrid concerts under their belts, the team at the Lincoln City Cultural Center is ready and raring for more, with a QuaranTunes Concert Series that will continue through September. These events offer both in-person performances and live streaming services, so that cultural center patrons can safely enjoy the best in live music.

The series, which began in July, will continue with a streaming-only show with jazz vocalist Halie Loren, backed by guitarist Daniel Gallo, at 7 pm on Wednesday, Aug. 19.

Hailing from Alaska and Oregon, Loren is driven by a passion for authentic storytelling through music. Her award-winning original songs and albums have topped international charts, and her live shows have delighted audiences and garnered dedicated fans around the world for more than a decade. Whether it's wringing out a torch song's every vulnerable confession, pouring on the humor in a sassy blues or swooning into a bossa nova's gentle sway, on stage, Loren is all in.

This personalized concert will be broadcast from Loren’s home studio to your laptop, phone, tablet or TV through the cultural center’s private YouTube channel. Purchase a ticket to the VIP Live feed, and the center will send you the link prior to the show. Ticketholders and fans can even send song requests to halieloren@comcast.net.

Next up in the QuaranTunes lineup, on Wednesday, Aug. 26, the cultural center will present an evening with composer-pianist Ezra Weiss, accompanied on tenor saxophone by Devin Phillips.

Weiss has released seven albums as a bandleader, all of which have received substantial national and international acclaim and spent significant time on the JazzWeek Radio Charts.

With the safety of patrons, staff and musicians in mind, the cultural center is offering two types of tickets: table seating in the auditorium limited to 25 people seated in singles and couples at socially-distant tables (masks required), or a VIP Live Stream, broadcast through a private YouTube channel. Purchase a ticket to the VIP Live feed, and The Stream Team will send you the link prior to the show.

Catering for the Wednesday, Aug. 26 show will be provided by Olde Line Lanes & Kitchen, offering a special menu delivered either to the cultural center or your home in the Lincoln City area. The meal is sold separately from the concert, for $20 per person. To order or learn more, go to www.oldelinelanes.com and click "Upcoming Events."

Your ticket purchase supports these fantastic musicians, as well as the cultural center and an adventurous group of local audio and video professionals dedicated to live broadcasts of the highest quality (the LCCC Stream Team).
