🌈 🌈

While we celebrate Pride in June, we celebrate our LGBTQIA+ community all year round!

Come celebrate the 18th Annual Billie Holiday Tribute Night at The Alberta Rose Theatre, Saturday, April 26, 2025. 8 pm.

Featured performers are Marcia Hocker, Laura Stilwell, Rita Marquez, Anandi, Marilyn Keller, and Lenanne Sylvester Miller.

The 18th Annual Billie Holiday Tribute Night is a celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month, Billie Holiday’s birthday month, and her 110th Birthday.

This event brings together musicians of many genres to pay tribute to one of the greatest jazz singers and songwriters of our time. Billie Holiday, also known as “Lady Day,” was an American jazz singer and songwriter. Holiday was a hugely formative influence on jazz and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. Above all, she was admired all over the world for her deeply personal and intimate approach to singing.

A portion of each ticket sale will also be donated to KBOO Community Radio.

Minors ok with parent/guardian.

In-person and online live-stream tickets are available for purchase.

Happy International Women’s Day! Today we honor women from around the world.

All women deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

In unity we recognize that the war on gender, the policing of our bodies, the controlling of how we identify, oppresses us all.

Let’s celebrate, support, and uplift each other all year long, not just for one day.

Because every day is a great day to challenge the patriarchy and fight for our rights.

We are standing in solidarity with women and other marginalized communities worldwide this .
