It first formed about six years ago as an eight-week singing class for men.

When the initial eight weeks were completed, the men wanted to continue and Singers In The Rain was born.

The ensemble is co-led by Sydney Keegan, vocal coach, and Hazel Johnson, musical director.

The group continues as a singing class, with Keegan teaching vocal techniques once a week, and Johnson teaching vocal music reading skills.

The group will perform six well-known Beatles songs and one Gospel number from the repertoire they are learning this season.

The second performer of the evening, Powers, performs the autoharp — a kind of zither with a mechanical device that allows the playing of a chord by damping all the other strings — and also sings.

The Port Townsend Friends have invited Muriel back for a repeat performance after being showcased at previous Meetinghouse concerts last Fall.

Muriel will perform rock, country and blues numbers.
