CANNON BEACH – The Cardboard Songsters will bring old-time tunes to the Cannon Beach History Center and Museum from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 28, as part of the Acoustic Folk! music series. Tickets are $7 for adults and $2 for children, at the door.

The Cardboard Songsters are a duo-offshoot of the band The Kitchen Syncopators, which was born in 1998 out of love for old southern music. The group evolved its own sound with a blend of rural and urban old-time string band, blues, ragtime, jazz and jug band music and has built quite a name and following for “a few hobos.” The Cardboard Songsters have a syncopator-esque sound and play old ragged time, country blues, mountain ballads and comic songs involving guitar/harmonica and washboard/kazoo. Inspired by the scratchy sounds of ’78s, they were definitely born in the wrong century. The duo frequents farmers markets in Portland and played to a delighted audience in Cannon Beach last year.

The Cannon Beach History Center and Museum is located at 1387 S. Spruce St., at the corner of Sunset. For more information, call (503) 436-9301 or visit www.cbhistory.org
