PORT TOWNSEND — For the first time in Port Townsend history, the Pipia Sisters and the Barnes Twins will pool their sisterly talents for a show at Better Living Through Coffee this Friday.
Admission is by donation to the 6 p.m. concert, a showcase of the two pairs’ original, lighthearted songs. The cafe, at 100 Taylor St., welcomes all ages.
With these four women on hand — Phina and Sophie Pipia, and Meg and Julia Barnes — music lovers can plan on hearing an unusual collection of instruments. The sisters play tuba, guitar, accordion, trombone, bass and ukulele.
While the Barnes Twins specialize in sophisticated harmonies and folk music, the Pipia Sisters are known for their songs about the moon, the stars, toasters, bathrobes and elephants.
Sophie and Phina have traveled the continent with their performing troupe called Generation Goat Rocket, appearing at Canada’s St. Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival last year.
This hometown collaboration with the Barnes Twins feels just right, Phina said.
“It’s so inspiring,” she added, “to work with a musical duo that understands our sibling dynamic.”
The sisters are always striving to present something unique and original, said Sophie, adding that “this evening of music will be truly one of a kind.”
