April 19, 2018 - Suttons Bay - Join local talent at Martha’s
Leelanau Table for an evening with musicians and artists Sandy Dhuyvetter, AKA Mama Fett, and George Powell. Together
they bring about the sweet music of DOLCE and will be playing at Martha’s
during the Friday May the 4th Celebration from 6 – 9pm.
Sandy is also known for her development and production work on the original 3 Boba
Fett Costumes created for Empire Strikes Back in 1977-78. Her
nickname Mama Fett came about years
later when she recreated a duplicate of the original helmet for a Make a Wish Project a few years back.
Sandy will be signing autographs during the evening.
The organizer of the Make a Wish Project, Art Andrews, said
this about Sandy, “This is a really big deal to me, perhaps
one of the biggest in this event. For many who don't know, Sandy is one of the
artists involved in the original creation of Boba Fett. She has gotten very
little credit or notoriety for it, but her work helped shape the imagination of
so many of our childhoods. The 2nd Prototype Boba Fett costume seen on your
original Kenner Boba Fett figure card? That was Sandy. All of the early Empire
Strikes Back promotional photos/posters? That was Sandy as well. Boba's helmet
from Return of the Jedi (my favorite)? That was also Sandy. This lady's work
not only helped shape our youth, but has helped respark the imagination of
thousands through sites like The Dented Helmet, LLC, Mandalorian Mercs Costume Club,
The 501st Legion and other Star Wars based fan clubs, not to mention thousands
and thousands of pieces of fan art, Sandy is surely Fett's “mom”.
What is a really big deal to Sandy is Human Trafficking
Awareness. Sandy was one of the first trainers in 2010 for Airline Ambassadors
International, a non-profit organization providing Human Trafficking Awareness.
She had taught more awareness classes than any other trainer at AAI by the time
she left San Francisco in 2013. She continues to assist AAI by supporting the
trainers with fund raisers, travel and other needs.
DOLCE with Sandy and George will be entertaining Martha’s
guests with music from Europe and beyond. For more information on Dolce go to: http://www.facebook.com/DolcewithSandyandGeorge
Come enjoy the delicious food at Martha’s and music of
DOLCE. There will be handouts and more information on Human Trafficking
available. Don’t forget, Sandy will autograph Boba Fett photos and if you have
something you want signed, please bring it with you. Stay for dinner or just
stop by to say hello.
May the Force be with You and hope to see you at Martha’s on
May the 4th.

About DOLCE with Sandy and George
The mandolin and accordion present a natural organic sound that
is unique, romantic and sweet. Then there are times when sweet and romantic
become country and rock. Sandy and George are accomplished musicians that play
many styles with many good friends. DOLCE is the sweet music of the mandolin
and accordion, or as the Italians say 'mandolino' and the 'fisarmonica'.
Sandy and George play every Friday night at Martha’s Leelanau Table in Suttons
Bay from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
