Interior of North City Bistro and Wine

North City Bistro and Wine, 150 NE 177th St in North City, Shoreline, has live music at least three times a week. They always have food, but this week they have a feast as well. 

Wednesday, the talented Karin Kajita and Emily will be playing some of your Holiday Favorites from 7:00-9:30 for $6 Cover. Come in for a glass of wine, a bite to eat and enjoy the show!

Thursday, again it's time to get into the Holiday Spirit with the always fun Diane and Bob, playing their version of songs with a show called A Blackberry Winter. If you've seen and heard them before, you know they are pretty amazing at pulling out some rare and cool tunes, as well as playing lots of your favorites, and they also do "requests"! They never charge a cover, but they do appreciate your tips, so please come and enjoy their show from 7:00-9:30pm.

Friday, Pearl Django is back in the house, and it's a SOLD OUT SHOW, so if you don't already have reservations, I guess you'll just have to wait until next year, sorry.

Saturday, we are doing something new and different. We will have Eugenie Jones and her amazing back up band, The Paul Miranda Trio, playing an early show from 7:00-9:30pm. This is a Winter Solstice Feast and Concert.

The cost for the Feast and Show is $35, and reservations are highly recommended. The menu, which also includes a glass of nice wine will be:

  • Cream of parsnip with roasted pistachio and Aleppo pepper
  • Roasted chicken with spiced carrots and currant cous cous
  • Eggnog bread pudding with mandarin-bourbon sauce

If you can't join us for dinner, Cover Charge for the show only is $10.

New Year's Eve: Chef Bernice has come up with an amazing menu for New Year's Eve, which will include White Truffles and Pork Belly. Call or email for reservations, because we will be closed from Jan 1- 8. This will be your last chance this year, and the music we have in store to bring in the New Year is going to be very fun!

Dinner and Show will be $50 per person, and again, reservations are highly recommended.

Email or call 206-365-4447 for information or reservations.

Marian Call Wednesday at the North City Bistro

From Ray Bloom

We start our music week off tomorrow, Wednesday, with a new act to the bistro, Marian Call.
Marian is an American singer-songwriter based in Juneau, Alaska. Call has released three studio albums: Vanilla, Got to Fly, and Something Fierce. In early 2013, she released her first live album, Marian Call: Live in Europe. Marian is a trained composer. Her songs are eclectic and diverse, funny and light on their feet, powerfully honest, and grounded in human experience. Her compositions are half study, hals improvisational instinct, and always full of unexpected musical twists and turns. She has written pieces by commission for film projects and events, and she has been known to write songs on dares or to surprise devoted fans. She will be playing from 7:00-9:30pm for No Cover, but Tips would be appreciated:)
Here is a link to a site where you can see and hear her music.

Thursday we welcome Jennifer Kienzle back to the Bistro, from 7:30-9:30 for $8 Cover.
Jennifer will be accompanied by some really wonderful musicians, Cole Schuster on Guitar, Greg Feingold on Bass and Max Holmberg on Drums. Jennifer is a delightful singer and backed by these guys, this promises to be a special night of music!

Stop in Friday when we will continue our Friday Wine Tastings, with a Very good friend and delightful wine person, Terri Torpin, who will be pouring Market Vineyard Wines, made by the incredible Charlie Hoppes! Teri will be pouring from 5:30-7:30, or later if she chooses.

Friday evening also brings us a musical 3-fer, with some with a show called "An Evening of Song" featuring 3 Very Lovely and Talented Ladies! Arlene Sanvitores, Pat Johnson and Elise Kloter will grace the "stage" with their amazing voices, and they will be backed up by some of our Favorites, Hans Brehmer on Piano, Osama Afifi on Bass & Brian Kirk on Drums. Their show goes from 8:00-10:30pm and for $12 Cover.
Come in and hear these veteran singers doing what they do best!

And then there's Saturday, which brings a show that I have been looking forward to for Months! Rod Cook, who plays with Little Bill, will be here with his Blues Band "Toast", featuring his amazing slide guitar playing, as well as John Bayless on Bass and the Amazing Chris Leighton on Drums. Chris is one of Seattle's Top drummers, and has toured with the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughn as well as many others!
Here's a link to a show they did recently. If this doesn't get you in here, I guess you don't like the Blues:)

And one last thing to think about in the next couple weeks.
Wednesday November 26th (Thanksgiving Eve) we will have music with Shear Jazz. Their shows are Always a Great night of jazz, with Keith McClelland, Jaques Willis, Dan Sales and some extra special friends, playing from 7:00-9:30 for $8 Cover.
We will also be offering a special Pre-Holiday Feast (Not Turkey and Dressing:) for a set price of $35 for dinner and the show. Dinner will be a choice of a couple entree options, a starter or salad and dessert as well as a nice glass of Sparkling, White or Red wine.

If you've been to the Bistro, especially on a weekend lately, you may have noticed things are picking up, and Reservations are becoming more and more important, if you want to be guaranteed a good table, or a table at all in some cases. Please call 206-365-4447, email and we will do our best to seat you where you like, and make sure you have a good evening of music, wine and food!

North City Bistro and Wine Shop, 1520 NE 177th St, Shoreline, WA 98155, 206-365-4447.

Blues
Mark DuFresne is one of the most sought after Blues talents in the Northwest. The Washington Blues Society has awarded him for best vocalist, songwriter and harmonica more than any other artist. His work on the chromatic harmonica is considered as some of the most innovative in Blues music. His ability to circular breathe has left audiences amazed. “DuFresne is as distinctive as a vocalist as he is a fiery player; rather than recycling old riffs, his original compositions are tuneful, melodic and grooveworthy..” - Blues Review Magazine....
