PORT ANGELES — The Second Weekend festivities in downtown Port Angeles mix the steadfast and the brand-new: Tonight, Second Friday Art Rock, aka 2FAR, marks its fifth anniversary with a dance and painting party at Bar N9ne, 229 W. First St.
Beginning at 8 p.m., singer Scott Sullivan and drummer Casey Northern will bring original rock ‘n’ roll and a few cover songs to the venue while Sarah Tucker, the Port Angeles artist, projects her art films onto a background screen. And while the duo plays, Tucker will paint what’s happening in the room.
