PORT ANGELES — Dan Maguire calls it a “great community adventure”: nine concerts bringing blues, folk, Celtic, rock, gospel, even the circus to town.
Maguire, executive director of the Juan de Fuca Foundation for the Arts and presenter of the Juan de Fuca Festival every May in Port Angeles, has booked the 2013-2014 set of Season Concerts.
The series brings in one act per month to various venues, starting in July with the Scots-Irish duo Men of Worth on July 27 at the Peninsula College Little Theater. Then come the Slide Brothers, sacred-steel guitar men, Aug. 3 at Olympic Cellars winery just east of town. A parade of musicians follows into next spring.
Season passes are on sale now at $99 for all nine shows; premium seating at the whole set goes for $119. Pass-holders will save up to 40 percent off single ticket prices, Maguire notes. For more information, see www.JFFA.org, phone 360-457-5411 or visit the Juan de Fuca Festival page on Facebook.
