PORT TOWNSEND — Kommuna Lux will perform at 7 p.m. Saturday in the Palindrome at Eaglemount Cidery, 1893 S. Jacob Miller Road in Port Townsend.
Tickets are $25 at www.eventbrite.com.
The Ukrainian folk band performs urban folk music.
Since July, their concerts have raised more than $11,000 across the U.S. and Canada for humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.
The band’s 501(c)(3) charity, KMLX, funds the Rotary Club’s Hospital Beds for Kramatorsk project.
Their repertoire includes songs that tell the history and spirit of their hometown, Odesa.
Notable songs include “7:40,” a tune from the late 1800s with a driving rhythmic pulse that propels it forward just like the trains that chugged into the Odesa station at 7:40 every day from the Moldovan city of Bendery.
Donations fund much-needed hospital beds for burn victims on the front lines, as well as medicine and protective equipment to organizations throughout Ukraine.
