PORT TOWNSEND — Jim and Kellie Nyby will bring favorite ballads, blues and gospel songs to Trinity United Methodist Church for a public Candlelight Concert this Thursday evening.
Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. performance at Trinity, which is uptown at 609 Taylor St.
A donation of $10 is suggested for adults, while admission is free for children.
Proceeds from this concert will benefit Jumping Mouse Children’s Center, a play-therapy and family counseling center in Port Townsend.
Jim Nyby is one of Port Townsend’s musical mainstays, having played in the area for the past 15 years.
Thursday evening, he’ll sing, play Trinity’s Czechoslovakian Petrof grand piano and perform some duets with Kellie.
Jim, who plays regularly with his F Street Band, specializes in covers. The American songbook is so rich, he said, that he doesn’t feel the need to compose new songs.
“Nothing excites me more than rediscovering an old, forgotten song and attempting to breathe new life into it,” Jim said.
