Chuck Easton Trio
Featuring keyboard, drums, tuba, accordian, and guitar
Our Saturday morning (free) concert features the Chuck Easton trio from Port Townsend. Chuck and friends will offer a delightful mix of classical, ballads, blues, jazz standards and beyond. The “beyond” set will feature accordion and tuba “favorites,” backed by drums. We will also spotlight some of our talented Peninsula youth, with vocals and instrumentals. You can swing and sway and stomp your feet. There’s something for everyone on Saturday.
Chuck Easton is a native Washingtonian, and began playing instruments at an early age. He started on violin then switched to bass in high school, playing classical music in the orchestra and trombone in the band. The electric guitar has won out as his primary instrument, however. Chuck has been on the faculty for the Northwest big band as well as the Bud Shank Jazz Workshop. He teaches private music lessons on a full time basis in Pt. Townsend at Crossroads music. Chuck continues to play locally on guitar, bass, flute, alto saxophone and occasionally Eb tuba and trombone.
George Radebaugh has a bachelor’s degree in music composition from the University of California, Santa Barbara, but is currently most interested in the spontaneity of jazz improvisation. Originally from the East Coast, he now resides in Port Townsend and can be heard throughout the Northwest playing jazz, funk and other styles. George frequently plays solo piano and is a preferred accompanist for jazz singers.
Tim Sheffel is originally from the bay area of California, (Oakland). He started drum lessons in grade school. At that time he was playing timpani but his main interest was in jazz. In 1965 he moved to San Fransisco and played in many of the great jazz clubs in existence at that time. He worked with Kent Glen, Bob Maize, Tom Harrel and others. Tim moved to Pt. Townsend, Washington in 1975. He continues to play music locally and around the Pacific Northwest.
