In front of an audience of about 1,500, Tacoma native and new age Northwest folkster Vicci Martinez played her third consecutive Performance at the Passage at the Clearwater Casino in Suquamish Thursday night.

Martinez and Co. are the only group to have played each year of the Performances at the Passage free concert series since it began in 2005. And joining the crew this time around was friend of the band Bremerton saxophonist Brett Cummings.

Next week, Performances at the Passage will feature Northwest rock and soul from the Freddie Pink Band, 7 p.m. July 17.
