Anne Phillips - Live in Ketchikan!
Anne Phillips is coming to town this summer and she will be performing at the Creek Street Cabaret on Friday, August 22!
She will be performing the show that sold out in NYC to celebrate her 90th birthday. Let's show her some Ketchikan love.
Here is what Variety Concert Review had to say about that performance:
"Where has this captivating performer been all our lives? She answered that question in a most engaging way, linking her songs with a running loosely chronological narrative of her career, more a one woman show than your typical jazz gig ... and her voice is in great shape."
- Variety Concert Review from "The Bakery", Los Angeles
LEX The Siren - Artist and DJ at the ARCTIC BAR
Ketchikan Theatre Ballet Pop Up Shop!

📍 Locals: Get out of the house and come hang!
