Rock, blues, jazz, country and Americana are among the genres that the 20 national, regional and local bands will cover in Manzanita and Nehalem. Paul Chesne Band, Les- lie Mendelson, Patrick Lamb, The Strange Tones, Lauren Sheehan and Kate & The Crocodiles are among the bands performing at the second annual event. “It will be fun to see how the festi- val grows and improves in it’s second year,” said Gavin Bondy, trumpeter for Kate & The Crocodiles. “It was really fun last year, so this year prom- ises to be a new and improved version of fun.” The indie rock band from Portland includes vocalist Kate Morrison and keyboardist Craig Bidondo. Kate & The Crocodiles mixes early jazz, jazz standards, and turns 1970s and 80s rock into ballads. Morrison said the band is looking forward to this year’s festival and will perform with a special guest.
