Seattle band Once Upon a Tuesday kicks off the music at 5 p.m. Friday, followed by The Lonely Forest, an indie rock band from Anacortes, at 7 p.m.

Friday night’s headliner is singer-songwriter Steve Holy, who has had two No. 1 hits on the Billboard country charges with his songs “Good Morning Beautiful” and “Brand New Girlfriend.” Holy will take the stage at 9 p.m.
