MOSES LAKE — Hannah Rose Reyes is set to replace Kate Voss and the Hot Sauce for the Central Basin Community Concert Association’s first show of the season Sept. 26.

Voss was slated to perform that day, according to CBCC Board Member Carla McKean, but had to cancel unexpectedly. 

“Kate Voss will not be able to travel this fall with Kate Voss and the Hot Sauce due to complicated birth and emergency C-section,” Voss’ promoter, Live on Stage, wrote in an email to the CBCCC. 

Voss will be replaced for the season by Hannah Rose Reyes, McKean said. Reyes, based in Wisconsin, specializes in classic country and Christian music, according to her biography provided by Live on Stage, and plays ukulele bass, melodica and guitar as well as singing with a clear, earthy voice. She’s performed at Summerfest in Milwaukee, which describes itself as the world’s largest music festival, as well as at the U.S. Capitol and Country USA. She’ll be joined by guitarist Jason Goessl and drummer Mike Underwood. 

Hannah and the Hot Sauce will take the stage at 7 p.m. Sept. 26 at the Wallenstien Theater, 6989 College Parkway NE, Moses Lake. More information and tickets are available at www.communityconcertsml.com

Local bean bag champ eyes pro game

MOSES LAKE — We’ve seen the game at almost every outdoor community gathering: two or more players tossing bean bags at a board tilted up at an angle, aiming for a hole in the board. But that bean bag toss game, also called cornhole, is more than just a casual pastime; it’s a serious sport with dedicated players. “I’m trying to go pro right now,” said Camryn Barrientoz of Moses Lake. “I was No. 2 in Washington, and since I did really well in this regional (tournament), it got me enough points where it bumped me up to No. 1 in Washington.” That regional tournament was held in Wenatchee Dec. 12-13, and Camryn, along with his doubles partner Jay Robins, took back-to-back titles, according to an email Camryn sent the Columbia Basin Herald.
