CHIMACUM — With the theme of “music for all ages all day,” Finnriver Farm & Cidery will host the Summer Jamboree today: a morning concert, a free afternoon with three bands and plenty of food and drink.
The farm, at 142 Barn Swallow Road off Center and Country Meadow roads, will start things off at 11:30 a.m. with The Harmonica Pocket, a local duo specializing in children’s music.
The pair, also known as Keeth Apgar and Nala Walla, are celebrating the release of their CD “Sundrops” with this show at Finnriver, where admission is $5 per person or $12 per family of up to four people.
Tickets are available at www.brownpapertickets.com and at the farm gate.
The Harmonica Pocket, a member of the Seattle-area Kindiependent collective of family-centric musicians, calls their music “solar-powered” and weaves ukulele, hula hooping and comedy into their shows.

Sunday afternoon brings more music from local groups, with free admission at Finnriver’s gate.
Joy in Mudville, the Port Angeles trio featuring Jason Mogi, Kim Trenerry and Paul Stehr-Green, will dish out their Americana and bluegrass from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.; then comes the Unexpected Brass Band from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. and the Rhythm Planet youth ensemble from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Throughout the day, Finnriver hard ciders, soft drinks and Elevated Ice Cream’s blueberry ice made with Finnriver fruit will be available for purchase. The Dented Buoy will be on hand, too, selling wood-fired pizza.
“We are located off of a one-lane gravel road, so visitors should drive slowly and enjoy slow-paced country life,” Finnriver farmer Crystie Kisler said.
She also encourages carpooling and asks that people bring their children but not their pets.
