Naomi Wachira was born and raised in a musical family in the small town of Kijabe in the Kenyan Great Rift Valley. At age 5 she joined her parents’ choir, which spurred her love affair with music as a way to not only understand the world, but also express her introverted self. Naomi has developed a songwriting style that is simple and evocative; she blends elements of African rhythm, American folk, and soul, offering her take on issues affecting society and telling her story as an African woman living in the diaspora. Seating is limited! Please make your dinner reservations by calling 360.376.8059.

End of the World Karaoke, 9 p.m. at The Lower Tavern. Come and sing your heart out!
