Folk quartet to perform in Port Townsend this week

PORT TOWNSEND — The ballads and folk songs of the 1960s are coming back, courtesy of the four-member Shady Grove band, to Trinity United Methodist Church on Thursday.

The 7 p.m. performance — to feature three-part harmonies, mandolin, guitar, banjo and bongos in the classic Kingston Trio-Brothers Four style — is part of Trinity United’s Candlelight Concert series.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., and admission is a $10 donation to benefit Port Townsend charities and the church’s music and historic restoration programs.

Children are admitted free, and everyone is invited to stay after for refreshments.

Shady Grove also has some new additions to its set list: songs by John Denver, Zac Brown, Bill Staines and Crosby, Stills and Nash.

And the band, composed of Larry Costello, Chet Rideout, Don Fristoe and Hank Snelgrove, will have its CD “One More Song” available at the concert.

Trinity United Methodist Church is at 609 Taylor St. uptown, and more information about the Candlelight Concert series is at 360-774-1644.
