Now, as proprietor of Via Vita, she wanders from table-to-table at lunchtime in a chef's coat. At night she leaves the cooking to others "more creative" and dons a smart leather jacket to greet dinner guests… Her frequent travels inspired this Euro cafe and wine bar, "an Italian piazza filled with French furniture," housed in a glass-walled corner of Bellevue's Belcarra apartment building… By day, customers cluster at small round tables up front, where daylight pours through windows two-stories high. Larger tables are set farther back, amid honeyed walls hung with art. A curved wine bar rimmed by a curlicued railing becomes a hub in the evening, when cloths drape the stone tables and faux votives flicker in their wire and glass cages… http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/restaurants/2018229356_cicero18.html Contact: Jan Phone: 425-449-8917 Email: Jan@ViaVitaCafe.com Website: http://www.ViaVitaCafe.com More

Live @ Sapolil - 2nd Anniual Rockin’ the Lowboy Kick Off Party ~ Featuring Nick Vigarino’s Meantown Blues and Gary Winston & The Real Deal Date: June 22, 2012 Location: Sapolil Cellars, 15 E Main Street, Walla Walla, WA Description: Nick Vigarino’s Meantown Blues 8 - 11 pm Original Fusion of Chicago & Delta Style Blues. His fusion style of blues is hip-hopped up with an amplified acoustic bottleneck, wailing against a VERY funky bump-and-grind rhythm section. Vigarino literally radiates an unpredictable fervor with his slashing acoustic slide guitar and powerful vocals. Funky licks and modern lyrics color his homemade "slop-jar Delta funk" material. The sum of the whole is nothing less than marvelous. Gary Winston & The Real Deal 11pm - 1 am Groovy Blues/R&B/Soul The legendary Blues man Gary Winston leads this powerhouse group featuring vocals by Erica Ingersol and Bass by Marcel. Throw in the killer percussion by Kyle and now we’ve got a party started!

He performed throughout the Northwest with Dave Lewis, Pete Depoe (Last Walking Bear) and Red Bone.
