Jakki and the Pink Smudge is an indie rock band out of Portland, fronted by singer/songwriter Jakki Wise. The band first began as a rotating backup outfit for Wise, with the ensemble made up of musicians pulled from local bands in each show’s city. They’ve now solidified into a permanent backing band with Calleb Ballard on guitar, Oliver Lester on bass, and Charlie Oakes on drums.
Workers have completed a multi-million project to dredge 500,000 tonnes of silt and restore the man-made lake at Blenheim Palace, restoring the feature to its former glory.
The auction will also feature three classic Chevrolet Corvette cars, 11 Renoir prints, early 20th century carved carousel animals, and a pair of Sevres vases.
