LONG BEACH PENINSULA, Wash. — Live musical performances will be heard up and down the Long Beach Peninsula this weekend.

Nominated for Cascade Blues Association’s Muddy Award for “Best Blues Event” for the past three years, Blues & Seafood will present another two-day lineup of blues music at the Port of Ilwaco Friday, Aug. 15 and Saturday, Aug. 16. Seafood delights will be served in the food court, along with micro brews and regional wine.

“Blues & Seafood has gained popularity in recent years as one of the most enjoyable festivals in the region,” said Clint Carter, event organizer. “We are small, intimate and friendly, with a fantastic view of the marina.”

Friday will open with the Chicago southside swagger of Billy D and the HooDoos, followed by Lisa Mann and Her Really Good Band, and welcome from the East Coast the uplifting sounds of Albert Cummings.

Saturday will kick off with The Bones Brothers, then continue with the North Coast Blues Band and the Cadillac Horns. Up next will be one of Portland’s favorites, Franco Paletta and the Stingers, known for his dynamic harp style and vocals. Back again will be Norman Sylvester, “the original Northwest Boogie Cat.” The Heartbreakers, a red-hot compilation of female blues singers including Lady A. White, Mary McPage, Lucy Hammond and Lady Kat True Blue, is slated as headliner and the final performance for the event.

Tickets are $15 for Friday evening, $25 for all day Saturday, and $35 for both days. A full weekend pass that includes Jazz & Oysters is $55. Tickets can be ordered online at https://www.databarevents.com/bluesandseafood.

In addition to jazz, listeners can savor famed Willapa Bay oysters, as well as fruit and cheese plates and desserts, provided by the area’s fine restaurants.

Setting the stage, Cherie Blues will stir it up with blues-infused jazz with a touch of R&B. Vocalist Cherie Walters will lay her smooth tones on a wide selection of jazz, swing, standards, blues and R&B. Clifford Dibble brings his long career as a jazz guitarist to the group. Bass guitarist Philippe Joubert, who has performed with many jazz and rock ensembles in France and across the United States, and drummer Rossen Atanassov, who has played with world-renowned musicians including Dave Samuels and George Garzone, complete the ensemble.

Next up, The Cory Weeds Quartet will keep toes tapping with jazz rhythms. The quartet blends the amazing talents of alto saxophonist Cory Weeds, guitarist Dan Balmer, honored with membership in The Oregon Music Hall of Fame and the Jazz Society of Oregon Hall of Fame, Louis Pain, labeled “Portland’s Boss of the B-3” by The Oregonian, and drummer Julian MacDonough.
