Reception: Seattle Aquarium

Evening Entertainment

By special arrangement, the reception will also feature a performance by Cliff Erickson, considered one of the finest acoustic performers throughout the Midwest and Canada. Cliff’s two albums, Rendezvous and Acquired Taste, released by Accurate Records, capture the essence of acoustic songwriting. Cliff has opened for Ringo Starr, Kenny Rogers, The Beach Boys, Wynona Judd, and America and has sung the national anthem for the Detroit Tigers, the Toronto Blue Jays, and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
