The Wenatchee Valley College at Omak Associated Students will sponsor a dance and performances by the band the Mighty Lions and musician Adrian Xavier at The Breadline Cafe in Omak on Saturday, April 9, at 8 p.m. General admission is $5 at the door and WVCO students get in free. The show originally was scheduled at the Paramount Bistro in Okanogan but was changed in late March.
The first performance will be by the Mighty Lions, a band from the Omak area that performs mostly original reggae and hip-hop music. The bandŐs singer, Craig Cohoe, is a student in the WVCO Nursing program. The Mighty Lions has headlined the Okanogan Barter Faire and took part in the Traveling Roadshow series last year, in which WVC at Omak students brought music to surrounding towns that the college services.
The second performer, Adrian Xavier of Seattle, released a solo album in 2004, R. Nature, which includes a variety of music genres, including reggae, soul, jazz, rock and hip-hop.
On his Web site, Xavier says of R. Nature, ŇThese songs reflect my concern for the future of the planet. The CD is dedicated, with thanks to my many inspirations, to equal rights, truth, justice, the traditional peoples and the innocent victims everywhere.Ó
Xavier has performed at clubs throughout Seattle, at the Wow Hall in Eugene, Ore., and has toured the West coast to promote his new CD.
