With the official groundbreaking coming this summer, the Nehalem Bay Health District is pleased to partner with the board and staff of the Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy and the North Coast Music Project to celebrate this remarkable community project with a concert that doubles as a fund raiser.
Rick Estrin and his acclaimed band The Night Cats, were described in a recent review as “one of the most talented, eclectic, and colorful groups in their genre. Many consider them the finest blues unit around.”
Estrin’s performance will begin at 3:00 pm Sunday, June 23 in the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem with a pre-concert reception beginning at 2:00 pm.
Tickets are limited and are available online through Ticket Tomato at: https://www.tickettomato.com/event/8701/rick-estrin-amp-the-nightcats
VIP tickets featuring premium seating are available for $100, with a portion of the cost tax deductible. General admission tickets at $35.
Estrin and The Night Cats recently released their sixth album – The Hits Keep Coming – and the NCRD appearance is part of the group’s album release tour that includes appearance across the United States and in Europe.
All proceeds from the show will directly benefit the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy, the community’s new primary care facility that is being developed by the Health District and will be operated by the local non-profit that has for years operated the existing clinic in Wheeler.
Health District voters approved a bond issue one year ago to advance the project that will nearly triple the size of the existing clinic, featuring 15 exam and treatment rooms, x-ray capability, a dental suite and a community room outfitted to serve as a teaching kitchen. The date of formal groundbreaking will be announced at the June 23 concert.
Concert goers will also enjoy a sneak peek at various design elements of the new facility and Health District board president Marc C. Johnson promises a surprise announcement or two.
Johnson said proceeds will help defray costs associated with “finishing touches” to the new facility, including equipment and landscaping features.
