JIM SCARANTINO

Country Music Hoedown and benefit show for homelessness programs. Join Jim Scarantino, Bill Wolfe, Melannie Jackson and Jay Hagar for a classical country dust-up: the songs of Johnny Cash, Don Williams, Willie Nelson, Randy Travis, Dolly Parton, Alan Jackson, and more. Bill Wolfe (lead guitar) toured with Merle Haggard and has performed with country music greats such as Charlie Pride, Hank Snow, and Loretta Lynn.

He leads Port Townsend's Gospel Opry Band and is lead guitarist for the Adventures, the official second-generation band of the legendary Ventures. Melannnie Jackson (vocals/bass), who fronts the Gospel Opry Band, is known across the Peninsula for her gorgeous voice and sharp wit. Jay Hagar (harmonica) sings and blows harp with The Water Street Boys. Jim Scarantino (vocals/guitar) was a member of PT's Happenstance and organized The Love musical benefit concert for our homeless shelter just before the pandemic hit.

All tips and donations go to hot meals and outreach for our "outdoor friends" as they struggle to survive and escape homelessness and addiction.
