The song "Zoom Tube" is a blues-influenced piece that requires several techniques including playing multiple tones at once and singing while playing that had students laughing throughout Raften's performance. Raften and Kenai-based pianist Maria Allison will perform on Nov. 7 at the Soldotna Christ Lutheran Church.
