The Slice was home to another fun fundraiser, Nov. 13, this time for the Lethbridge College Fashion Club. The evening 
had the theme of mustaches and Christmas sweaters, so there were plenty of all of those present in the packed house.
The club was not only raising money for Fashion Design and Marketing student’s supplies and fabrics, but also accepting donations for the Club’s annual family in need project as well as were accepting donations for prostate cancer.
Several local musicians were on the bill including solo performances by Leisha Miller and Jesse Northey.
Bridgette Yarwood sang an exceptional set of laid back jazz, her powerful voice piercing the murmur of the crowd.
She along with Sleeping With Tuesday keyboardist Evan Schaaf, running the gamut between old Frank Sinatra songs like “Fly Away,” and Roberta Flack plus originals. She sang beautifully as usual and had quite a few couples slow dancing.
I’d never seen the Fred Penner Revival band before and was impressed as they effortlessly combines blues jams, with current hits by the likes of Radiohead and Kings of Leon, and even played a version of Dolly Parton’s Jolene and after urging from the audience, welcomed Jolene Draper up on stage to help sing it.
They even added in a little reggae during a song about sandwiches which was their “Tribute to Fred Penner and a cool version of “Hoochie Coochie Man.”
The Necessities finished off the show.
