We just had a great time in the Southwest and thank all of you down there
for coming out to the shows!
As you know, Jarrod Kaplan's last show with TAARKA was at the Oregon
Country Fair. We've been continuing TAARKA with a temporary line-up
with Paul Evans, percussionist and great saxophonist, and the the
excellent Damian Erskine on bass. We thank you for supporting us
throughout this tranisitional time. The percussionists and drummers
performing with us this fall are some of our favorites in the
Northwest, and we are very excited to bring you our music with these
skilled musicians on the beat, as well as Jason Flores, our longtime
bass player, or Damian Erskine. We're proud to welcome Dale Largent,
a great percussionist from Bend, OR. He's well-schooled in African
and Latin percussion, and a joy to play and hang with. We're really
looking forward to our Halloween show where we'll bring Dale together
with the legendary Portland drummer/percussionist, Reinhardt Melz for
the the spookiest booty shakin' good time you've ever had with us.
For the 20th and 23rd of October, the stylish Joe Janiga, of
Klezmocracy, will be joining us for select shows as well - a musical
meeting of minds we've been looking forward to for a while. You can
go to www.taarka.com for more specific information.

We're very excited about our new fall collection...of shows in the
Northwest and California. A Highlight for us will an Early Hallow's
Eve Party with the TAARKA quintet(!) and Ashbury Park, full of
wildness and magical mischief, at the Goodfoot Lounge on 10/29...Come
in Costume! Our shows are listed below, and as always, please check
