Fundraising concert set at PA’s Field Hall
The Seattle-based FUNKWAYS hits the stage at a fundraising concert set for 7 p.m. Saturday, June 29, in the Donna M. Morris Theater at Field Arts & Events Hall, 201 W. Front St., Port Angeles.
Part of the proceeds from this event will be donated to the Hurricane Ridge Winter Sports Education Foundation and Surfrider Foundation.
Following the theater show, FUNKWAYS will move upstairs to the Sunset Bar & Lounge for a laid-back deep funk dance party and jam session at 9 p.m.
FUNKWAYS is the brainchild of local composer and trumpet player Joel Ricci, who conducts an ensemble of Seattle rhythm and funk musicians in a “dynamic and engaging live public ceremony/spectacle.”
Tickets are $25 (theater show only), $30 (theater show and after-party) or $18 for after-party show only.
The Sunset Bar & Lounge opens pre-show at 5 p.m. (no ticket required) and will remain open serving food and drinks through both performances.
