IIIrd Tyme Out headlines the 29th Darrington Bluegrass Festival this weekend.
Since 1992, the band has earned dozens of music awards, including several International Bluegrass Music Association awards for Vocal Group of the Year.
The band performs at 4:45 p.m. Saturday and 4:30 p.m. Sunday.
Other bands include the U.S. Navy band Country Current, Marysville’s Sons of the Tarheels, Rural Delivery, Looking Glass, Four Chords of Wood, Knaughty Pine, Buckhorn Mountain Boys, Sedro-Woolley’s Queens Bluegrass, Lost in the Fog, Three Quarter Time, Anacortes’ Dunton Sisters, and Darrington’s Combinations.
The 40-acre music park is near 6,840-foot-high White Horse Mountain, and offers camping as well as music.
Indigo Girls: Many 1980s musicians have faded away, but the Indigo Girls continue with a loyal fan base, creative music and CDs that hold up well with time. The guitar-playing duo performs Tuesday and Wednesday in Seattle with music from their latest, the 18-track “Rarities,” using a wide-ranging formula that balances Emily Saliers’ singer-songwriter abstract roots approach and Amy Ray’s punk-rock leanings.
Stickshift Annie: The band performs with Kimball and the Fugitives on Wednesday in Shoreline. Stickshift Annie’s music includes straight-ahead blues, Texas two-beat blues, Freddie King shuffles, rock ‘n’ roll and swing. Annie Eastwood earned a Washington Blues Society nomination for Best Female Vocalist.
Adefua: The five-person ensemble of drummers, dancers and singers, committed to African music and dance, will perform Thursday in Edmonds. The award-winning group has traveled around the world with its work.
Collin Raye: It will be a love, hope and joy evening Sunday in Bow when the award-winning country musician takes the stage. Raye has had 15 No. 1 singles. His hits include “I Think About You,” “Love Me,” “In This Life,” “One Boy, One Girl,” and “What the Heart Wants.”
Shambala: Fans of Three Dog Night can catch the tribute band Saturday in Marysville and Thursday in Everett. “Joy to the World,” “Eli’s Coming,” “Celebrate,” and many more of the ’60s band’s 21 No. 1 hit songs will be part of the set list. The vocalists include Tony LaStella, who has appeared with Tony Bennett and Luciano Pavarotti.
Gideon Freudmann: The cellist brings his take on CelloBop, a new form that combines classical precision with technological power that allows him to be his own quartet, if he wants. He performs Wednesday in Duvall.
Oleta Adams: Washington state native and jazz vocalist returns to Seattle on Thursday through July 24 with music from her first pop album in five years, “All the Love.” Adams, who also writes some of her songs, has three Grammy nominations.
Stone Road: The band blends Beverly Monte Calvo’s United Kingdom background in English hymns and Celtic music, Dan Monte Calvo’s banjo and bluegrass roots, and Ed Newkirk’s rock ‘n’ roll and country music influence for a Sunday family concert performance in Everett.
Uptown Swing &Jazz: Expect hot swing and dance standards from the 1920s-’40s during a Sunday concert in Edmonds, with the possibility of ragtime and Dixieland tunes thrown in.
