PORT ANGELES — Two folk concerts presented by the Juan de Fuca Foundation are coming to Studio Bob, with the first tonight.
“These are part of what we call The Living Room Series, because they are in the intimate Studio Bob venue,” said Dan Maguire, executive director of the Juan de Fuca Foundation for the Arts.
Mouths of Babes, a folk music duo, will perform at 7:30 tonight at Studio Bob at 118½ E. Front St.
Sam Chase will perform solo at the same time and venue Friday, Feb. 3.
Tickets are $12 for one concert or $20 if purchased for both concerts.
Ticket outlets are at www.jffa.org or at Port Book and News, 104 E. First St.
With more than a dozen albums and over a thousand shows between them, Ty Greenstein and Ingrid Elizabeth of Atlanta are no strangers to the contemporary folk music scene.
For years, their respective bands Girlyman and Coyote Grace criss-crossed the country, rocked festival main stages and toured with the likes of the Indigo Girls and Dar Williams.
Now, as Mouths of Babes, the two have distilled their songwriting and musicianship into a genre The Huffington Post called “modern folk. It’s powerful, romantic and giddy. And the two are insanely infectious together onstage, like a musical and a personal love fest all at once.”
Chase is described on his website at www.thesam chase.com as having “a voice like a nun on the lam with a mouthful of cigarettes and curse words in a lonely bar, drunkenly dancing next to a broken jukebox.
“His is a show you’ll probably want to tattoo on your body so everyone will know that you knew him before he was cool.”
Chase of San Francisco is a two-time winner of the San Francisco Readers Poll for Best of the Bay.
