Friday, Feb. 4: Ryan Shea Smith

Tacoma Community College Theater

By Volcano Staff on February 2, 2011

The Weekly Volcano likes to say, "Everything is jazz," but, in truth, we don't really believe it. Only SOME things are actually jazz, and the way Ryan Shea Smith tickles the ivories definitely qualifies. The highly regarded Seattle native will visit Tacoma Community College Friday and drop a concert sure to be ripe with excitement and spontaneity - two of Smith's many musical qualities. Others include smarts, soul and - yes - jazziness. Smith's show at TCC also features the Marriot Brothers and Stephanie Porter.

[Tacoma Community College Theater, 7:30 p.m., all ages, $10, 6501 S. 19th St., Tacoma, 253.566.5000]
