LAKEPORT, Calif. – It's almost time again for the Big Valley Hall's annual early Halloween party.
On Saturday, Oct. 19, the Big Valley Hall-oween Bash will be rattling the Big Valley Hall at 1510 Big Valley Road, at the border of Finley and Lakeport.
West Coast Blues and Classic R&B will fill the hall from 7 to 10 p.m. with Miz Dee and The Blues Defenders.
Miz Dee's powerful voice has transported her to stages in Asia and Europe, where she resided for several years.
Closer to her Bay Area home, Miz Dee has performed at blues and jazz festivals in Monterey, San Francisco and Portland.
Miz Dee also headlined the 2016 Valley Fire Tribute Concert at Ely Stage Stop backed by the Blues Defenders and Mighty Mike Schermer, with Dave Broida sitting in.
The Blues Defenders of Sonoma County will bring Donny Mederos on bass, Matt Silva on guitar, Bruce Gordon on keyboards (of Tri Tip Trio and Zydeco Flames) and Nick Otis on drums (son of Johnny Otis).
For many years this tight working band has backed blues masters at the Twin Oaks Pro Jam, including some who have played Lake County fire benefits such as Chris Cain, Mighty Mike Schermer, Daniel Castro, Johnny Rawls, Craig Caffall, Lloyd Meadows and Terrie Odabi, as well as Miz Dee.
Proceeds will support renovations for the Big Valley Hall, home of seven Fire Benefits for Lake County from 2017 to 2018.
Don't be afraid to dig out your Halloween costume and dancing shoes now, in case you'd like to win the costume or dance contests. And stash your extra loot for the raffle, homemade sweets, wine, beer, soft drinks and sparkling water.
Be prepared to pay $10 cash to the guardians of the door for this adult dance party.
American Plumbing and Brad White Blues Productions of Kelseyville, Iris Angeleri of Pivniska Real Estate Group in Kelseyville, Blue Wing Saloon in Upper Lake and Donna's Upscale Resale in Lakeport graciously agreed to sponsor this fundraiser.
