Musicians Bruce Victor and Marla Fibish will jam with special guest Tim Connell

WEEKEND: Live music to ring out Saturday at Port Townsend Friends Meetinghouse

PORT TOWNSEND — Musicians Marla Fibish, Bruce Victor and Tim Connell will perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Port Townsend Friends Meetinghouse, 1841 Sheridan St.

Tickets are $15 in advance online at brownpapertickets.com or $20 at the door.

In San Francisco, Fibish and Victor formed Noctambule, whose original works of poetry, instrumental pieces and traditional Irish tunes and songs are rendered with an unusual array of stringed instruments in varied tunings such as mandola, mandolin, bouzouki, cittern and tenor guitar.

Fibish is well-known in the Irish music world, bringing a musicality and excitement to the tradition that is seldom heard on the mandolin, organizers say.

Victor is an eclectic and accomplished guitarist and composer, organizers say.

Seemingly resisting any single musical genre, he has been labeled a “poly-stylist” by one of the editors of Acoustic Guitar magazine.

He has played with The Sirens of San Francisco, The Triplicates and as a solo performer.

He was the founder of The Acoustic Vortex, a nonprofit musical organization that produced house concerts, mentored youth performers and performed benefit concerts for other nonprofit organizations.

He also is a practicing psychiatrist and was a clinical professor of psychiatry in the School of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.

For this special concert, Noctambule is joined by Portland, Ore.-based mandolin virtuoso Tim Connell, who is well-known to acoustic music fans as a top-tier mandolinist, touring internationally with Mike Marshall’s Ger Mandolin Orchestra, organizers say.

Widely regarded as the top North American interpreter of the Brazilian choro style on the mandolin, organizers say he also has developed his own unique voice for the instrument, described in a recent Mandolin Magazine cover story as “fiery and energetic, soulful and evocative.”
