Rhiana Franklin has been busy with guitar and pen since her knock-out performance two years ago at the county Fair. And she has been even busier in pursuit of a musical career since graduating from Friday Harbor High earlier this year.

Franklin, 17, will take a break from working in Nashville on a debut EP album to perform in her hometown as part of San Juan Community Theatre’s Summer Night Music Concert Series, Thursday, Aug. 2.

Music begins in the Gubelman Theatre at 8 p.m., preceded by “social hour” in the Steele Memorial Garden, beginning at 7 p.m., with beer, wine and chocolate desserts available for purchase). Seating is limited to 50; tickets are $10. For info, 378-3210, or www.sjctheatre.org.
