Two island singers/guitarists highlight the next edition of San Juan Community Theatre’s Night Music summer concert series on Thursday, July 24.
Both Daniel Finn and Ian Boulton got their musical start at the age of 12. Finn says he’s been writing songs in a kind of “crypto-pop/rock/soul-skidded groove” since then and has been performing them on San Juan Island for the past 35 years, including many concerts at SJCT.

Self-taught, Boulton learned to play guitar by ear, listening to songs on albums of the many singer/songwriters of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. His primary influences include Neil Young, James Taylor (mostly their early work) and, later, Pete Townsend of The Who. He enjoys playing classic acoustic rock music on both 6 and 12-string guitars.

The series continues weekly through August 7, with a variety of musical styles showcased. The live music starts at 7:30 p.m., with social time in the Gubelman and Steele Memorial Garden (complete with special chocolate desserts, wine and beer available for purchase) starting at 7:00 p.m. Each evening is limited to 65 guests; all tickets are $12 each per concert.

The Business Partner for the series is Islanders Bank. The SJCT Box Office is open Tuesdays-Fridays, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Saturdays 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and one hour before any performance. Call 360-378-3210, or surf to www.sjctheatre.org.
