Best Bets for July 22-24 | THE BAINBRIDGE BLAB

Psychedelic R&B from Portland, a big Bainbridge sayonara to Shakespeare and and an extra special treat at the farmers market - it's all on the rock all weekend long.

Get “Goosebumps” while you shake your “Hips” with Astro Tan, a three-piece psychedelic R&B outfit from Portland, Oregon, at Rolling Bay Hall at 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 22. The Oregonian’s David Greenwald noted the group’s material for “blending sharp musicianship with daydream textures. It’s lovely, languid stuff.”Also sharing the stage that night is Alex Campion. He caught the attention of the Everett Music Initiative who gave him a spot at the 2016 Fishermans Village Music Festival, where he shared the stage with local luminaries such as Fauna Shade, Tellers and I Will Keep Your Ghost. Tickets are on sale now at www.spacecraftpresents.org. The cost is $12. Tickets will also be on sale at the door for $15 each. Rolling Bay Hall is located at 10598 Northeast Valley Road.

Say bye, bye to the Bard. It’s his last weekend on Bainbridge. “Much Ado About Nothing” is at Bloedel again this weekend – outdoors the way it was meant to be – for the year’s final shows, every night from 7 p.m.Visit www.bainbridgeperformingarts.org to learn more.

If you need an excuse to get on down to the farmers market (you don’t, do you?), this week will feature a special guest: Farming policy and food author Mi Ae Lipe discusses her book “Bounty from the Box: The CSA Farm Cookbook” – the guide to enjoying 92 different fruits, vegetables and herbs commonly grown by community-supported agriculture farms across North America. She’ll be at the market at 11 a.m. and at Eagle Harbor Book Company at 1 p.m.Check out a sample of her appetite-inspiring ideas at www.bountyfromthebox.com.
