Live music in Port Townsend, WA

At Dancing Fish Vineyards, Thursday Night Music features Those Guys, the duo of singer, songwriter, and guitarist John Hribernick and singer and percussionist Kristi Barnes, who have been performing together since 2011. Their set blends John’s original songs with a broad mix of well-known tunes across harmony-rich pop, blues, folk rock, protest rock, power ballads, and alternative, drawing on artists such as the Beatles, Indigo Girls, Lucinda Williams, Taj Mahal, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Green Day, the Cranberries, Linda Ronstadt, Pat Benatar, Radiohead, and Barenaked Ladies. John’s background includes touring the Pacific Northwest with a three-piece power-pop group, guitar work in tribute and cover bands All Mixed Up and Hot Lava inspired by Elliot Easton and Ricky Wilson, and solo acoustic performances of his own compositions since 2003. Kristi has performed with choral groups around the world, including at the Kennedy Center, later moving into covers in 2005 with bands such as Hot Lava and the ABBAgraphs, and she has sung with the classic rock cover band N2O since 2013. This reservation-only event includes a shared appetizer board served to your table. Seating in the Dancing Fish Barn is limited and some guests may be placed at larger communal tables. If attending with friends, contact the venue in advance to arrange seating together. Photo credit: Dennis Brown.
