Kafe Neo in Edmonds every Sunday including July 18, Hank and Yanni duo on July 25, NO MUSIC August 1, full band for the last Sunday this summer, August 8th.
Hank on bouzouki, Yanni on guitar and singing, and Cathie on fiddle play at Kafe Neo from 6:30pm. to 9pm. Located at 21108 Highway 99 in Edmonds (425) 672-3476, really not so far ~ take I-5 to 220th Exit, go west a few blocks to Hwy 99, and north a couple of blocks. Look for the restaurant on your left. A full remodel and new menu are gathering raves from locals. The food is wholesome classic Greek traditional cuisine plus American favorites, and very reasonably priced. There is no cover, all ages are welcome. Room to dance. Everybody likes it that way.
