Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. Masks are encouraged for in-person attendees.

Ledford, a local singer and songwriter, was born and raised in Dallas-Fort Worth before settling in Port Townsend in 2015.

His music is influenced by such artists as the Texas-based Flatlanders as well as the Clash.

Ledford’s debut album, “Truth & Love,” was released in 2009 and followed by 2011’s “From Sunlight Into Shadow.”

He is currently working on a new album with his first band, the Lubbock-based Stilettos, as well as some solo singles.

Ledford also will perform between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. Sunday at Chester Square, 1029 Lawrence St., as part of the Local Lineup at the Port Townsend Soundcheck festival.
