Julie Cascioppo at the GSC

  • Post author:

If you haven’t caught chanteuse Julie Cascioppo‘s campy act, y’oughta. She has returned from a six month trip to India and will be performing her “comeback show” on Bastille Day, Wednesday July 14th at 7 pm at the Good Shepherd Center’s Chapel Performance Space (4649 Sunnyside Ave N). Here she tells us about it in that third person narrative that all performers who write their own copy must produce:

JULIE CASCIOPPO, SEATTLE’S ORIGINAL JAZZ CABARET SINGER, INVITES YOU ON A SUB-CONTINENTAL ODYSSEY.

Enjoy Julie’s PLEASANTLY “hot” new act, which offers  Jazz tunes and  Indian Retro Favorites with a French Twist to quicken the blood between  anecdotes of bizarre experiences during  her recent  six month engagement as as “jazz singer” in India,  dodging the dangers arising from intrigues and unlikely relationships in the most severely exciting city on earth: BOMBAY, or, as some call it, MUMBAI!

Featuring such touching experiences as:

  • Teaching Jazz to the orphans
  • Getting food poisoning from a salad
  • Falling in love with stray dogs in the hotel’s vicinity
  • Sterilizing said dogs
  • Making friends with ex-patriot ladies who lunch
  • Auditioning jazz musicians for the gig.
  • Adventures with wannabe-boyfriend cab drivers.

This performance is  a fundraiser to help with tuition for the International Cabaret Convention at Yale that Julie has been selected to attend by Irv Raible director.

$20.00 donation or sliding scale for the economically disadvantaged, says she. Call for more info 206-286-2740. Here’s a taste:

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
