Anna Doak/ Different Drummer
Different Drummer is a multi-genre chamber ensemble founded by three string players from this region’s premier chamber orchestra, the Northwest Sinfonietta. Violinist Brandon Vance is a two-time winner of the US National Scottish Fiddle Championship. Gretchen Yanover is an acclaimed electric cellist with three solo albums to her credit. Bassist Anna Doak has performed and/or recorded with Dave Mathews, Joe Williams, Spirit of the West, Linda Ronstadt, and the Seattle Symphony. Add to the mix Don Dieterich, a percussionist who is willing to whack in any number of non-traditional gadgets from lamp shades to garbage cans and you’ve got a show that represents genres as varied as the artists presenting it. Prepare to by entertained, amused and exhilarated by this unique collaboration!
