Jazz, pop music offered at concert Friday night in Sequim

SEQUIM — A “silky serving of smooth jazz and pop:” It’s what the BlueSkyz quartet promises to lay down this Friday evening at Olympic Theatre Arts, 414 N. Sequim Ave.

For a free concert at 6 p.m. Friday, BlueSkyz has standards from the Great American Songbook and some soft-rock and pop hits on its set list — what the foursome calls “classic martini music.”

Alongside Jason Paul and his Brazilian guitar are keyboard and trumpet player Thomas East, electronic wind instrument (EWI) player Dave Keyte and vocalist Tess Teel, whose voice ranges across four octaves.

Olympic Theatre Arts’ gathering hall opens at 5 p.m. Friday for this event.

While admission is free, the bar offers wine, beer, soft drinks and snacks for purchase.

BlueSkyz’ concert is part of the First Friday Art Walk in Sequim, which covers a variety of galleries and cafes on and around Sequim Avenue and Washington Street.

Visiting these venues is free during the walk from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. More information can be found in Friday’s Peninsula Spotlight, the arts and entertainment section of the Peninsula Daily News.

For information about this and other Olympic Theatre Arts activities, phone the office, open from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, at 360-683-7326.
