Original Jim is a “Solo Band” Musical Project from Northwest Performing Songwriter and Coupeville Local, Jim Castaneda. Forged from Vocal Jazz and A Cappella, and honed on pop, rock and blues in the shadow of the Seattle scene, Jim sets up a solid foundation for his tunes with creative arrangements, tasty improvisation, strong vocals, rhythmic guitars, a little keyboard and a unique way to groove.

2:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. — Erik Christensen Band

In the beginning, it’s always about the song.  It’s not fancy playing, or dance moves, or funky fresh beats.  The song and the story are always paramount.  Erik Christensen lives in Coupeville, Washington, with his wife and two daughters, teaches high school English, and writes and plays music anywhere he can.  Usually categorized as “folk rock” or “singer/songwriter,” he thinks of it as “too acoustic for rock and roll, too aggressive and loud for folk music.”

 Joining him somewhere in the landscape between “folk” and “rock” is a variety of backup sounds, including violin, bass, and keyboards.

Come hear the Cranberry Bog Bluegrass Band for some toe-tappin’ fun and the plaintive sound of bluegrass, Americana music and a few surprises that will knock your socks off in three-part harmonies, duets & solos.
All the favorite bluegrass instruments are there for this (mostly) Whidbey Island bluegrass band: Ken Merrell brings that high lonesome sound with his guitar and vocals; Debbie Zick provides rhythm and lead  breaks with her mandolin; country boy Dave Holley weighs in on his five-string banjo and Dobro; and South Whidbey musical legend Alex Bonesteel makes his fiddle sing. Southern girl Linda Rae Dobbs hails from Fidalgo Island and crosses the bridge every week to play bass with the band and sing vocals.
