Harmonica Pocket leads Sing-A-Ling at Sequim Library
Join in on the music at an outdoor Sing-A-Ling led by Harmonica Pocket at 6:30 p.m. Friday, July 6, at the Sequim Library’s outdoor stage, 630 N. Sequim Ave.
Part storytime, part sing-along and loaded with laughs, Harmonica Pocket’s songs and rhyming stories combine movement, picture books, acoustic music and highly-interactive banter between audience and musicians.
Children (and their grownups) will create original rhymes and lyrics to traditional American folk songs, raise their voices to play with the alphabet’s many amusing sounds and sing along to the words of favorite children’s books.
In the event of inclement weather, the event will be held inside the library.
