Hawaii-based folk and pop singer Stef Muzic is about to embark on a whirlwind tour of Washington state with her latest album, “This Wave.”
The recording, released last Saturday on iTunes, “is dedicated to all of you who have ever been held under by life,” Muzic writes, “much as a large wave does. You know it will let you up for air at some point and can only hold your breath until it does.”
Muzic will travel from town to town this weekend to play at these venues:
■ Sirens Pub, 823 Water St., Port Townsend, $5 cover charge, 9:30 Friday night.
■ The Oasis Bar and Grill, 301 E. Washington St., Sequim at 9 p.m. Saturday, no cover charge.
■ The Next Door gastropub, 113 W. First St., at 4 p.m. Sunday, no cover charge.
Born into a big family of rock, country, jazz and folk musicians in Santa Cruz, Calif., Muzic has lived in the Hawaiian Islands for more than a decade now.
She takes inspiration from the ocean and from her fellow musicians; she recently formed a five-piece band with tan Melemai Combis of the Honolulu Lounge Lizards on Hawaiian-style ukulele.
“This Wave” received the 2013 Big Island Music Award for Rock Album of the Year and a 2013 Na Hoku Hanohano award nomination.
