ILWACO, Wash. — Local band Brownsmead Flats, named for the community of Brownsmead along the Columbia River, will play at Waikiki Beach as part of a summer concert series at Cape Disappointment State Park at 7 p.m. Saturday.

The group relies primarily on strings, playing a set of traditional and original music on the guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, fiddle and hammered dulcimer in a genre they describe as “crabgrass,” or bluegrass with a maritime flair.

This event is part of a free concert series. For more information and to see the full summer lineup, visit www.parks.wa.gov.
