Music for the event will be provided by the Midnight Train Blues Band, a Port Townsend blues and dance band founded in 2014.

Key KPTZ volunteers who will be on hand for the Prom at the Palindrome include DJ hosts Dalana of Music to My Ears, Jerry Osborne, who produces both Class Reunion and Vinyl Village, and Blues Journey’s Taylor Clark.

“This town really enjoys their dressed-up events,” said “Chicago Bob” Longmire, guitarist and vocalist for the Midnight Train, co-producer of the KPTZ Prom.

Eaglemount Wine and Cider will feature its Palindrome tasting room for the event.

They will serve a selection of wines and ciders, along with KPTZ Fortifier APA, the special ale developed together by the Port Townsend Brewing Company and the station.
