Orcas Island’s Crow Valley String Band performs on Sunday, August 17

Music in the Park on August 17, from 5 to 7 pm on the Village Green, will feature local bands CCM and the Crow Valley String Band.

The Crow Valley String Band is a family band of four musicians, Rachel Bishop, Jim Litch, Tashi and Kaj, which have been performing together for several years. Tashi and Kaj also have been performing in their own band, Brother for Sale!, since 2009.

Originating from the British Isles, their music is grounded in the family’s Celtic, Scandinavian and European roots. Varying combinations of fiddles, mandolin, guitar, and upright bass combine with family-woven vocal harmonies fire up and deliver lively traditional music from the Bluegrass, Old Time, Celtic, Acadia and Folk traditions. Be ready to have some good fun! http://www.CrowValleyStringBand.com
