COYLE — Cook up some modern folk with blues, jazz and country flavors, and you have Castletown, the Portland, Ore., band about to give a Concert in the Woods today at the Laurel B. Johnson Community Center, 923 Hazel Point Road.
This show, which the quartet promises will be all about “renegade Celtic folk rock,” is a 3 p.m. matinee, with admission by donation and all ages welcome.
As is his custom, host Norm Johnson lays out coffee and cookies at intermission.
Castletown has been playing up and down the West Coast, from Seattle’s Northwest Folklife Festival to gigs in Eugene, Ore., and San Francisco.
Native Portlander Robert Richter, the singer-guitarist, is bringing the band to rural Jefferson County: singer, fiddler and mandolin player Olivia Duffy; percussionist Casey McBridge; and bassist Willi Jaam.
