2026-02-21 19:30 | Columbia Theatre Association for the Performing Arts, 1231 Vandercook Way, Longview, WA 98632, USA, 701 Vandercook Way, United States
El Javi is a gifted North American guitarist who fearlessly explores instrumental music, transcending the confines of traditional music genres. His music is a remarkable blend of various styles and techniques that come together to create an eclectic acoustic fusion that is truly unique.

Beyond his exceptional musicianship, El Javi’s celebration of cultural diversity through music underscores the power of music to transcend language and culture, forging connections and understanding between people of all backgrounds.

The Denver based composer, producer and performer incorporates elements of flamenco, progressive rock, classical, folk and world music to shape his compositions. Highlights of his career include; supporting act for Ziggy Marley and today’s biggest voice of flamenco Diego El Cigala. He was a featured artist in Coors Light’s national campaign My Climb, My Music and a featured artist at the Guitar: The Instrument that Rocked the World exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. He participated in the International Guitar Festival in Zihuatanejo, Mexico.

Born in Mexico City, his early studies on guitar included rock, jazz & blues. In 2000 he relocated to Los Angeles where he immersed himself in the LA music scene where he got the need to create something unique and more authentic, launching him to study flamenco guitar in Seville, Spain. This transition gave El Javi the inspiration to develop his own sound. El Javi has released 4 albums of original music and is also known for his unique instrumental arrangements of cover songs.Sponsored by Heritage Bank

Murder Mystery at Stageworks NW
2026-02-27 19:30, 2026-02-28 19:30, 2026-03-01 14:00 | Stageworks NW, 1433 Commerce, Longview, WA, 98632, United States
Every drama group has experienced the horrors of what can go wrong on opening night, and the ladies of the F.A.H.E.T.G. Dramatic Society are no different, with the possible exception that almost everything that could happen does! The scenery collapses, cues are missed, lines forgotten, and the sound effects take on a strange note at times, as the ladies present their ambitious evening’s entertainment with the cunning whodunit, “Murder At Checkmate Manor.” And just in case the audience should get bored there’s a Film and Fashion Show and Murder Mystery Quiz, complete with a Prize! The crunch comes in the denouement when the “murderer”, about to be revealed, has to rush home to bandage up an injured daughter. But Mrs. Reece, doyenne of the group, rises above the slings and arrows of outrageous dramatics to save the situation and provide the final inventive twist.

Written by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jr.
