PORT TOWNSEND — Canadian blues singer-songwriter Ray Bonneville will perform a concert at Fort Worden State Park on Saturday.
Doors will open at 7 p.m. in Building 315 at the park, 200 Battery Way, and the show will start at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets for $15 can be purchased online at raybonneville.brownpapertickets.com.
Born in Quebec, Bonneville’s family moved to Boston when he was 12 years old. He served a year in Vietnam as a Marine, struggled and overcame drug addiction, earned a pilot’s license in Colorado, then moved to Alaska, then Seattle, Paris and New Orleans, according to a news release.
Bonneville’s songwriting takes listeners to some of those “dark and exotic places,” perhaps especially so in his fourth album for Red House Records, “Easy Gone,” according to his website.
A few of the accolades to Bonneville’s name include a Juno Award for his 1999 album “Gust of Wind,” the International Folk Alliance’s 2009 Song of the Year Award for “I Am the Big Easy” and the winning solo/duet in the 2012 Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge.
