Youth Theatre Northwest is hosting 'An Evening with Reilly and Maloney' at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 25.
Seattle duo Ginny Reilly and David Maloney will perform at Youth Theatre Northwest on Feb. 25. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Through the 1970s and '80s, Ginny Reilly and David Maloney, singers and songwriters, were popular in Seattle with rich harmonies and tireless performance schedule cultivating many fans throughout the region. When the pair called it quits after 20 years and eight albums in 1990, their farewell concert at the 5th Avenue Theater sold out so quickly that a second night had to be added.

After a 10-year hiatus, Reilly and Maloney reunited in 2000 to discover that their audience was still with them. In performances up and down the West Coast, fans clamored for old favorites as well as new material, and additional recordings soon found their way to the CD table. David's 2011 solo effort, “One Day More,” received a preliminary Grammy nomination.

Instead, Sistafoo prefers the recycle bin, an obsession with a game called Minecraft, the boob...

Editorial Note | Three cheers for real love

By Gabrielle Nomura Let me be clear, I’m not walking down the aisle anytime soon. My left hand is still bling-free, except for the occasional glittery nail polish. While I would love to go to Hawaii or Mexico ASAP, it certainly won’t be on a honeymoon. While The Boy and I will soon celebrate our fourth year...
