LONG?BEACH, Wash. The Peninsula Arts Center will kick off its new Local Artist Series with a concert by Jill Trenholm of Ocean Park, Wash., 7 p.m. Saturday, June 15.

Born in Sheridan, Wyo., Trenholm first explored the world through journaling and poetry, which eventually entered a natural marriage with her original guitar melodies. A talented singer and songwriter, she was awarded a prestigious vocal scholarship to Utah State University when she was 18 years old. For the next three years, her college experience was bursting with opportunities to study a variety of music and to integrate diverse genres into her evolving style. Trenholm played with a blue grass band and top-40 band. At 19, exhilarated and entertaining at every opportunity, she was arrested for singing underage in a bar in Salt Lake City, Utah.
