The upcoming Seabold Second Saturday concert featuring Kathy Jonas has been canceled.
Organizers of the monthly Seabold Second Saturday Acoustic Open Mic announced Tuesday that the show would not go on. The concert had been scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 14 at Seabold Community Club.
The announcement was made after the second case of 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was confirmed Tuesday on Bainbridge Island.
“We are sorry to have to cancel the show this month. We now have at least two COVID-19 cases on Bainbridge and it is likely that it has been circulating socially for some time and that other residents of Kitsap County are carrying the virus,” the Seabold Second Saturday crew said in an email Tuesday afternoon.
“Many other groups, including Bainbridge Performing Arts, have taken a similar step. Our audience and performers consist of a larger portion of ‘at risk’ groups and sensible precautions are in order,” the message said.
The status of the April show is still in flux, and Seabold organizers said they will try to re-book any featured acts that are affected by the March cancellation and any future cancellations.
