As April hits full swing, it’s filling up with performances to attend, art shows to see and local bands to hear. In just the next few days, the offerings range from a flamenco show in Port Townsend to a wet-felting demonstration in Port Angeles.

Here are highlights of this weekend — and beyond — on the North Olympic Peninsula.

• Live music infuses Finnriver Farm & Cidery three times this weekend: Singer-songwriter Kristin Myers brings her lighthearted style in from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. tonight, and then FarmStrong, a country band based in Sequim, arrives for a show from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday. Beleza, a jazz duo featuring Dmitri Matheny and John Stowell, is slated for 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

All shows are for all ages at Finnriver, 124 Center Road, Chimacum.

• The trio Kozmopolis will dish up European folk, Parisian swing and other music from around the globe during its Port Townsend Farmers Market gig this Saturday.

The band — featuring Phina Pipia, Jane Freeburg and Kozmo — is set to play from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the market on the 600 block of Tyler Street in Uptown Port Townsend.

• “A New Perspective” is the title of the Second Weekend art event Saturday and Sunday at Studio Bob, upstairs at 118½ E. Front St., Port Angeles.

In this show, artists Lance and Haley Snider lay out their work in the spacious gallery while the band Tin Sandwich plays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday.

The show goes on with another public reception from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, while both Studio Bob openings are free with all ages welcome.

Refreshments are available for purchase in the bar beside the gallery.

• Cabled Fiber and Yarn will host an exhibit of wet felting techniques — including wet-felted scarves and bowls — from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday during downtown Port Angeles’ Second Weekend art walk.

Shop owner MarySue French will give a demonstration of this ancient technique at the store, 125 W. First St.
