Hoodstock was electric—and local favorite Chris Eakes tells us why. Fresh off a buzzworthy set with the “Union supergroup,” 5 Guys & A Flute, Chris breaks down the band’s chemistry, what makes the Hood Canal audience different, and how that energy shapes the sound you’ll hear at his solo performance during Shuck & Strum this Thursday, August 21, at 6 pm on the Finch Creek Stage (plus live on KMAS and our streams).
We also get personal: the moment a shy student found his voice in Chris’s guitar class, how
Hoodstock funding is fueling music education, and why Chris shifted from covers to originals—culminating in a new
album dropping in October on major platforms.
