“Michael Powers, the Seattle jazz guitarist, who just gets better all the time.”
The Seattle Times
“There are TWO types of people. Those who love Michael Powers’ music, and those who have not yet heard it!”
The Review
“Michael Powers’ music seamlessly and simultaneously honors the past, celebrates the present and fearlessly reaches into the future!”
“Michael Powers has established himself among a new breed of guitarists and composers who, with each album and every performance, continually redefines the guitars’ role in the jazz context. His technique is stunning, but he never employs it at the expense of the musicality of the melodic line. Blues has always been at the core of Michael’s inspiration and expression.”

These local grapes are used solely for Method Champenoise that will be released Summer 2020. Apart from the local estate vineyard, Madrone sources their grapes from select vineyards in Eastern Washington. Join us for a celebration of Savor the San Juan with this local winemaker. Chefs Ryan and Tim of Coho Restaurant will prepare a locally sourced and inspired dinner using seasonal ingredients from local farms and those from the mainland. A five-course dinner is $55/person and the optional wine pairing is $30. We are looking forward to a memorable evening of local food, wine, and fun.
