LIVE CONCERTS Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light <https://mcusercontent.com/6df05bfd2eaa0ab6bf92aa5cf/images/c57f5194-9d5e-1a3e-7ebc-9c686db3f003.jpeg> Fresh off a first place win at the 2023 Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival band competition, Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light have been captivating audiences throughout the northeast. With songs as sweet and biting as the nectar and venom in her voice, Sumner's lyric-forward writing and penchant for snaking chord progressions demand something far beyond folk conventions, highlighting the acrobatic range of her brilliant bandmates Kat Wallace (fiddle) and Mike Siegel (upright bass). Sumner is no stranger to the stage. She spent her early career on the bluegrass circuit, singing and writing with the genre-bending roots group Twisted Pine. Since setting out on her own, Sumner's songs have been critically acclaimed: winning the 2021 John Lennon Award in the folk category for her song "Radium Girls (Curie Eleison);" earning a spot in the Kerrville New Folk Competition; and being chosen four consecutive years as one of the top Massachusetts entries in NPR’s Tiny Desk Competition. Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light released their debut LP in the summer of 2022 to critical acclaim.

OUR WORKING WATERFRONT (Part One) February 16th (Noon) & 25th (5:30) Each month KPTZ’s Chris Bricker joins Co-hosts Port Director Eron Berg and Port Commissioner Pam Petranek to bring you news, updates and stories surrounding our Port and of our vibrant maritime community. The Port of Port Townsend marked its 100th year in 2024. It was formed by Jefferson County voters in 1924. To commemorate the anniversary, our Port hired former PT Leader publisher Scott Wilson to research and write a book of that history, “Working Port: 100 Years of the Port of Port Townsend” was published in honor of the Port’s Centennial Year. Scott tells the story of how the Port came into existence, and how it has evolved for over a century to its current reputation as a place brimming with exceptional marine trades skills. Peninsula College recently hosted Scott for a presentation at its Fort Worden Campus’s Studium Generale. This is PART ONE of Walker’s entertaining and fascinating talk…. COMMUNITY TIDES Alternate weeks from Our Working Waterfront: Tuesdays at 5:30 pm and Sundays at Noon Each month KPTZ’s Chris Bricker and Co-host Siobhan Canty, President & CEO of Jefferson Community Foundation, explore new paradigms and new developments surrounding our County’s good people doing good work. February 18th (5:30) & 23rd (Noon) Parknapping Doesn’t Pay: The History of Rescuing a Pacific Northwest Crown Jewel Secret deals are often exposed, and right and wrong become crystal clear. That was the case when Washington State governments attempted to cheat the public out of land that had been promised them, and for a pittance in return. One of the richest corporations in the world wanted the land, and the agreements that the state thought they were making with this multinational corporation needed public scrutiny. It was left to the public and the courts to decide the fate of this land. This is the story of a small group of citizens that fought back and won. Chris Bricker & Siobhan Canty speak with activist and author Darlene Schanfald. DONN AT NIGHT with host Donn Trethewey Tuesday 6:30-8pm Donn At Night features pieces from Donn Trethewey’s collection of music — same as the old Cardboard Box program. <https://mcusercontent.com/6df05bfd2eaa0ab6bf92aa5cf/images/cf7ebf3f-5097-4655-756c-f0a4cac25976.jpg> JAZZ NOTES with host Bill Mercier Tuesday 8-10pm February 18 We’ll be listening to contemporary cuts from Armen Donelian and Xavier Lecouturier, classic stuff from Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Parker, and the Modern Jazz Quartet, nice piano jazz from Herbie Nichols, Marian McPartland and Chick Corea and much more.

Our “What’s New?” feature for this week will look at the new album The Snake Charmer by Brad Goode and his Polytonal Big Band. We’ve got two cuts from that one. <https://mcusercontent.com/6df05bfd2eaa0ab6bf92aa5cf/images/fe3793aa-3be3-1ba8-4c80-30c0c990e8be.jpg> OUR TOWN with host Maryanne McNellis Alternating Tuesdays and repeats the following Sunday, both 12:30-1pm February 18/23 Maryanne interviews Diane McDade, President of Jefferson County Aquatic Coalition (JAC), the citizens group behind the drive for a new pool in Jefferson County. The committee is about 20 years old and, so far, no new pool. But changes could be coming relatively soon. The installation of a new sewer system in the Hadlock/Chimacum area should help break the log jam. Diane has been into political action since she was a kid. Her parents were politically active, and she watched and learned. She worked on many significant political campaigns, including Patty Murray’s election to the US Senate. Diane also enjoyed a career at Microsoft when not totally immersed in politics. Since moving to PT she’s also become fascinated by the history of North Beach. Expect a book on North Beach tracing the story of the Chinese farmers who were ultimately forced out of the region, and other interesting topics.
