Jardin du Soleil Lavender Farm, 3932 Sequim-Dungeness Way, brings back its weekly concert series the Jungible Summer Music Series starting this weekend.

From July 7-Aug. 4, a new band rocks and jives crowds in the farm’s lavender fields each Friday night.

Jordan Schiefen, co-owner of the farm with her husband Paul, said last year they made a switch to a handful of shows instead of a one-day festival and “it was amazing.”

“Week after week people came to enjoy the music, sunsets and community experience Jungible has become known for,” she said. “New friends and memories were made, and a new summer tradition started.”

The music series opens with Port Angeles’ Crushwater, a folk-rock band, on Friday, July 7.

Subsequent weeks include Dirty Revival, a soul band from Portland, Ore., on July 14, the local outfit Olympic Express Big Band on July 21, Bootleg Sunshine, a Seattle contemporary bluegrass and world band, on July 28, and The True Loves, a Seattle soul band, on Aug. 4.

This will be the fourth year the Schiefens put on concerts at their farm with the first two years called the Jungible Festival, which the couple says follow the word jungible or “come together.”

The Schiefens took a one-year hiatus in 2015 from concerts but retooled with the five-night concerts in July and early August last year including Sequim Lavender Weekend.

“We are so excited to be able to share with our community the things we love, music, good food, friends and the land,” Schiefen said.

For the events, Pacific Pantry provides food along with beer, wine and cider.

Concert doors open at 6:30 p.m. with shows beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 per adult and children 12 and under are free. A season pass for all five shows is $60.

Tickets are available at facebook.com/JungibleFestival/ and the door.
