SEQUIM — A lawn chair, a blanket and some good eats are all a visitor needs to enjoy live tunes at the Sequim Library’s annual Summertime Music! Outdoor Concert Series.

The Delta Rays band will perform its blend of Zydeco, R&B, Irish fiddle, Tex-Mex accordion, Gypsy folk and swing at 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5 on the outdoor stage behind the library at 630 N. Sequim Ave.

The concert is free.

The Delta Rays have played regularly in the Port Townsend area for more than 20 years, as well as at the Juan de Fuca Festival, the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival and the Jefferson and Clallam County fairs.

Members include Peter Evasick on fiddle and guitar, George Radebaugh on piano and accordion, Peter Bliven on drums and Todd Fischer on bass.

Two more concerts

Two more concerts of outdoor live music are planned at the Sequim Library this summer. Each is from 6 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.

The Bushwick Book Club will perform Aug. 12. A community contra dance featuring fiddler Rodney Miller is planned Aug. 20.

In case of rain or inclement weather, all concerts except the contra dance will be held indoors at the library.

In the event of rain on Aug. 20, the contra dance will take place inside the Sequim High School cafeteria at 601 N. Sequim Ave.

The program is free to the public through the support of the Friends of Sequim Library.
