PORT TOWNSEND — The second of 10 free summer concerts on the Port Townsend waterfront features Tongue and Groove, a rock-country-folk/funk group, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Bring a lawn chair to sit on.

Park in the Point Hudson area — or walk in from one of the nearby downtown lots, or from uptown.

Tap your toes — or get up and dance.

The venue is the Quincy Street dock area, Quincy and Water streets.

The stage is next to the newly renovated Cannery building and behind the Water Street Brewing and Ale House (formerly Maxwell”s).

The 10 free outdoor summer concerts at the Quincy Street dock — “The Dock That Rocks!” — began last Wednesday and will run every Wednesday night through Sept. 15.

The concerts are sponsored by Peninsula Daily News and Pennco Transportation.
