WEEKEND: Band to strum Saturday for Nepal quake benefit in Port Townsend

PORT TOWNSEND — The classic-rock band One Egg Night will give a benefit concert and host a silent auction at the Pourhouse, 2231 Washington St., this Saturday.

Proceeds from the event will go toward the earthquake relief efforts in Nepal: specifically those of Habitat for Humanity and the Himalayan Children’s Fund, said Vinny Pollina, an organizer and One Egg Night’s lead guitarist.

Admission is free, while donations and bids on silent auction items are encouraged.

Information about relief work in Nepal will be available.

The auction, featuring Tibetan thangkas, or hand-painted silks; Javanese shadow puppets; Pourhouse beer tastings; several massages; a three-night getaway to San Francisco; and other items, will go from 4:30 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.

One Egg Night will play dance music from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m.

The band — Pollina, singer Milo Redwood, drummer Chris Herold, bassist Gary Forbes and guitarist Joseph Karniewicz — has a repertoire ranging from the Rolling Stones’ “Dead Flowers” to Van Morrison’s “Into the Mystic,” plus original songs.

For information, phone the Pourhouse at 360-379-5586.
