A split bill on August 6 will feature Ken Jacobsen on electric cello and guitar and Vashon guitar legend Ron Hook.

Another split bill on August 13 will feature Tribal Voices and Rod Smith’s Song & Legend.

On Aug. 20, Robyn Landis will return with her award-winning songs and guitarist and singer Steve Amsden will close the concert season on Aug. 27.
