First Step Family Support Center, a United Way agency, announces that Snowgrass 2015 will be at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 24, at the Port Angeles High School Auditorium.

Tickets are $12 in advance, $14 at the door, $9 for seniors, and free for youth 10 and under. Doors open at 6 p.m.

Featured are Crescent Blue and Loose Gravel, who have been major players in the country/bluegrass community on the Olympic Peninsula for many years.

Crescent Blue is a sweet and soulful family affair, while Loose Gravel offers the hard and fast picking of charged instrumentation.

The Flying Strings, formerly The Fiddle Kids, continue to bring their energetic and ever developing talents to the stage this year.

 

Farmstrong, led by Sequim’s Cort Armstrong, will be harmonizing with some of the state’s most talented bluegrass figures for a sweet and melodic walk through the roots of Americana.

 

Luck of the Draw, an upbeat Port Angeles country music favorite, has some comedic tricks up their sleeve for this night of stars.

Bands performing at Snowgrass 2015 are generously donating their time and talent to raise funds for First Step Family Support Center.

Tickets can be purchased in Port Angeles at First Step Family Support Center, KONP, Strait Music, Odyssey Books and Port Book & News.

 

In Sequim tickets are available at Clallam Co-op Farm and Garden.

 

Tickets also may be purchased at the door the night of the event. All proceeds will benefit First Step Family.
