Lundeen performs at Nirvana

Nirvana is hosting a free, all-ages concert by local singer/songwriter Cami Lundeen at 7 p.m on Saturday. Lundeen serves up folk and pop music, ranging from soft and intimate songs to more raucous numbers. She plays the acoustic guitar and is often accompanied by a cajon drummer. The cajon, a flamenco box drum, adds flare to her acoustic sound.
