PORT TOWNSEND — The snug Key City Playhouse will be the place for plentiful music this February.
The Key City Cabaret Series, hosted by ToolShed SoundLab and the nonprofit Key City Public Theatre, has four events in store, starting with the Foghorn Stringband on Thursday, Feb. 12.
Credited with igniting the old-time music revival in the Northwest, this band brings high-lonesome harmonies — with the singers crowded around one microphone — along with fast mandolin, guitar fills and plunking bass.
The group from Portland, Ore., features Nadine Landry, Caleb Klauder, Stephen Lind and Reeb Willms, all of whom are known for their set at the 2014 Festival of American Fiddle Tunes.
Each show in the Key City Cabaret Series will start at 7:30 p.m.; tickets are $18 unless otherwise noted at the Key City Playhouse, 419 Washington St., or via 360-385-5278, and keycitypublictheatre.org.
The rest of the series goes like this:
■ Vintage swing singer Sylvia Herold, Friday, Feb. 20;
■ Bluegrass-Americana-folk duo Mollie O’Brien and Rich Moore, Wednesday, Feb. 25;
■ The Key City Public Theatre Singers’ Showcase, a benefit show Sunday, Feb. 22, with admission on a sliding scale from $10 to $15.
The singers include Lois Barnett, Hanna Lose-Frahn, T. Piper Dunlap, Kate Ettinger and Alanna Dailey, accompanied by Dave Meis, Tomoki Sage, David Conklin and George Rezendes.
