“Join Kathy Moehring with the Kelly Park Trio as they re-imagine the oldies but goodies on a musical romp down memory lane.  Their repertoire of popular show tunes draws from the golden age of Broadway infused with the talent, energy and passion of this dynamic ensemble that also features Ruth Davies on bass.  Get ready for a magical musical experience with swinging jazz melodies, beautiful ballads and old favorites given new life.  There will also be a silent auction offering previously-loved designer handbags and other items to the highest bidder. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross in support of Alameda fire victims. A light meal will be available for purchase starting at 7:00PM served by Saboor Zafari.
