The performance combines live music, spoken word, his own visual art, and recordings of American roots music. Location: The Triple Door, 216 Union, downtown Seattle Tickets: $75 per person includes dinner. (cash bar) A limited number of standing-room-only spaces are available for $20 with no dinner.
