Marmalade spreads the jam

Posted

Hundreds gathered for the opening “Concert on the Docks,” with the Seattle-based band Marmalade, on Thursday, July 11, at Pope Marine Plaza in downtown Port Townsend.

The concert was the first in a series of free outdoor concerts, featuring primarily local bands, on Thursdays from 5-7 p.m. going through August.

Marmalade billed themselves as “a collective of integrated stylings of funk, soul, hip-hop and afrobeat, bringing the groove.”

They’re set to be followed July 18 by the Sweater Weather String Band.

The members of the Sweater Weather String Band were drawn together from across the Salish Sea by what they described as “a mutual love of traditional music and knitwear,” to blend old-time, honky-tonk, Celtic and indie rock influences into a style that they say has been likened to “the frolicking of sheep before a thunderstorm.”
