One part cabaret and one part TV variety show, Cocktail Nuts is hosted by long-time Seattle composer and performer, Richard Gray. Inspired by the spontaneity and sophistication of similar shows in the 1960’s, Cocktail Nuts was created to become a regular evening event featuring different visiting performers, thematic cocktails and gourmet snacks. Proving to be an unprecedented hit, the first show was called “Landing the Gig,” which embraced the theme of Labour Day and the end of summer, featuring songs and performances all about work.
