Austin duo play concert at Sugar Shack

The Sugar Shack will host the Austin, Texas, folk-pop duo Beth//James for a free summer concert at 7 p.m. Thursday on the lawn behind the business.

Beth//James is two award-winning musicians, Jordan Burchill and Mikaela Kahn. They are promoting their new release, “All in the Life,” which is a mix of modern folk, “mindful pop” and Americana. The Austin American-Statesman labeled the release as a standout EP for 2017.

Burchill has played guitar for Ndambi, Avant and Brannen Temple. Kahn has toured as a vocalist with Ben Folds and Chrisette Michele. The duo, who won top honors in the 2016 Indie International Songwriting Competition, played at last year’s Strawberry Festival and say they are happy to return to Vashon.
