March opens with a night of soul, as English-born James Hunter takes the stage with his band at 8 p.m. tomorrow night. Hunter has been atop the Billboard blues chart in the last several years and has toured around the world, working with Van Morrison in the past.

His 2006 album, People Gonna Talk, was nominated for a Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Album. The band features Jonathan Lee on the drums, Lee Badau and Damian Hand on the saxophones, Andrew Kingslow on keyboards and percussion and Jason Wilson on bass.

The first of three folk performances of the month, Altan, comes to Kirkland for an 8 p.m. show on March 10. Altan brings a strong Irish tradition, and has been entertaining audiences worldwide since the late 1980s. Altan signed with Virgin Records in 1994, and still includes three of the original members.

The group was in France in January, and will return to France for an Irish music festival in late March.

Shows are scheduled for 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. on both dates.
