Emily McVicker will perform from 7-8:30 p.m. Saturday, June 9 as part of San Juan Island National Historical Park’s free concert series, Music by the Bay. The series takes place on Saturday nights in June on the lawn at English Camp. Bring lawn chairs and blankets.

McVicker is like a rainbow you can see from far away among the grey drizzle of Seattle skies. A dynamic and interactive performer, she has traveled internationally sharing the joy of music and theater and the human connection by finding the good in the hard times. She is heavily influenced by the American Songbook and other powerful music staples such as Sam Cooke, Joni Mitchell, Willie Nelson. With a dash of tambourine, pop culture and soul.
