Sundays at 5 pm from
June 15th – August 24th
On the Village Green
Orcas Center is proud to present its annual Summer Concert Series on the Village Green, bringing free, live music to the heart of Eastsound. This vibrant outdoor series, supported in part by Joe Brotherton and the Doe Bay team, celebrates community, creativity, and the magic of music under the open sky.
“When the pandemic led to stopping Doe Bay Fest, we looked for other ways to keep the music happening,” said Brotherton. “Being able to help the Orcas Center produce some of the free summer concerts is a perfect example. If you miss Doe Bay Fest, don’t miss the Concerts on the Green this summer.”
Orcas Center Executive Director Jake Perrine added, “Nobody supports Pacific Northwest music on the island like Joe Brotherton and Doe Bay! Their artist in residence series is a one-of-a-kind revelation for artists. There’s no one I would rather partner with!”
Concerts kick off in June and continue throughout the summer. Bring a blanket, your dancing shoes, and join us on the Green!
Read below to learn more about the upcoming acts, and please consider making a contribution to keep concerts free all summer long!

Kaylee Cole found her voice, songs, and passion for music after an intense car accident in college.
Her origin story is more Marvel comic than real life – in the accident, the radio knobs punctured her leg
and activated an ancient voice within her, songs that were waiting to come to the surface.
Much like Spider-Man, she operates under the mantra that “with great power comes great responsibility.”
Don’t miss this fantastic triple bill:
The Litch Brothers, Fritz Gearhart, and Robert Sarazin Blake!

With songs as sweet and biting as the nectar and venom in her voice, Rachel Sumner’s lyric-forward
writing and penchant for snaking chord progressions demand something far beyond folk conventions,
highlighting the acrobatic range of her brilliant bandmates Kat Wallace (fiddle) and Mike Siegel (upright bass).
