PORT ANGELES — The public library will turn into a concert venue once again this Friday as the Cave Singers, a Seattle-born band specializing in rustic indie folk, comes to town.
This is the winter 2016 edition of “Art Blast,” the free all-ages party at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St., and it includes not only the live music but also a reception for the new Art in the Library exhibit.
So Friday night presents a chance to meet local artist Pamela Hastings, see her distinctive portraits of local people, enjoy refreshments and stay for the Cave Singers.
The Art in the Library reception will start at 6:30 p.m., and limited library services will be available during that event.
For those who can’t make it Friday evening or just want to spend more time with the art, Hastings’ portraits will remain on display at the library through April 12.
The Cave Singers, who are about to release their fifth album, “Banshee,” will step up for their set at 7 p.m. The band — Derek Fudesco, formerly of Pretty Girls Make Graves; Marty Lund of Cobra High; and Pete Quirk of the band Hint Hint — will give this Port Angeles concert just before embarking on a tour that will take them all over the West.
So this is a chance to see them, free in a mellow environment, instead of at a nightclub in Portland, Ore.; Los Angeles; or San Antonio.
For more about the band, see the Cave Singers’ page on Facebook or www.thecavesingers.com.
