Dana Lyons

Saturday Nights on Phinney Ridge

Dana Lyons

Phinney Neighborhood Center (Brick Building), 7:30PM

General Admission: $14
$2 off for SFS & PNA members and seniors, kids half price

Celebrate the International Day of Peace at a family-friendly concert by award winning singer, songwriter Dana Lyons. Dana wrote the song, "Circle the World" about Jane Goodall's vision of her Giant Peace Dove puppets being so numerous on the International Day of Peace that they'd be visible from outer space. Dana and Jane subsequently created a CD featuring Dana's songs and Jane's stories titled "Circle the World."

Dana's cunning use of humor and satire keeps the audience engaged and connected with the topic at hand. His songs are a powerful voice for world peace and environmental stewardship.

"Dana is a master at mixing playful humor with social and environmental activism. His voice is beautiful, his songs are funny, relevant and thought provoking."" - Backbone Concert Series, Vashon Island

Reserve online, or by calling 206/528-8523.
