PORT LUDLOW — Blue Moon Marquee, a Canadian band that performs songs in a wide range of genres, will perform at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Port Ludlow Bay Club.
Tickets are $35 to the concert hosted by the Port Ludlow Performing Arts (PLPA).
The next concert will be Backtrack Vocals — all voices, no instruments — in a holiday show at the Bay Club on Sunday, Dec. 10, at 2 p.m.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.port ludlowperformingarts.com or ordered by mail at P.O. Box 65210, Port Ludlow, WA 98365.
PLPA’s “champagne opener” on Oct. 1 (free champagne to the audience) featured The Sweet Remains, and not only was it sold out but it had a waiting list and PLPA had to turn people away. Attendees came from as far away as Connecticut and Las Vegas, organizers said.
Backtrack Vocals is a five-person a cappella group from New York City with a repertoire that includes Top 40, Motown, classical, show tunes and original music.
“They are especially well-suited to perform a holiday show … they made their motion-picture debut in A Ring for Christmas, a made-for-TV movie released in December of 2020,” according to a press release.
Backtrack Vocals got its start on YouTube in 2013; the group now has more than 100,000 subscribers and 12 million views across its channel. They appeared on NBC, FOX, PBS, Steve Harvey’s daytime show and Broadway’s Kinky Boots. They also won New York’s Got Talent Season 6 in 2019.
The group is comprised of Melissa Jordan, a singer, songwriter and managing member of Backtrack; Mike Hinkle, a former musical theater performer who studied at the Stella Adler Studio and the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute; Chrissy Aloiso, assistant music director and featured soloist of the group; Craig Simonetti, Backtrack’s music director, chief arranger, beatboxer and former voice teacher at Berklee College of Music in Boston; and Xander Teplansky, who has performed with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and New York Philharmonic, among others.
