laughter with guitar, smokin' fiddle and wash tub bass. Sunday 10am - Noon Campbell Road -
Original and traditional tunes from Ireland, Scotland, and many other
places around the world. More About the Performers Mockingbird is an acappela trio, consisting of Robin Wallbridge,
Sherrie Lutsch and Lesley Rigg. They have been delighting audiences
throughout the Pacific Northwest for over eight years. Brewing their own
songs, both humorous and heartfelt, about daily life (motherhood, coffee,
rain, relatives and love), they also sing messages about tolerance, unity,
and peace. Here's a partial review of their third CD: Formed in 1994, Campbell Road plays original arrangements of traditional Irish and Scottish tunes and songs. Campbell Road also performs tunes from other traditions (everything from Cape Breton to Scandinavian to klezmer) as well as some original compositions. They have performed at pubs, festivals, Highland Games, weddings, and private parties throughout the state of Washington. Band members include Jessamyn Tuttle on flute, whistle, bodhran, djembe, claves, and vocals; Jon Nauert on fiddle, bouzouki, djembe, and vocals; Dan Tuttle on guitar, banjo, fiddle, and vocals; and Barbara Tuttle on bodhran, djembe, and other percussion instruments. Campbell Road has recorded three CDs, By Blood or Marriage, Bare Bones, and, In Spite of Wind & Weather. Click here for more information about Campbell Road.
“Honest, heartfelt, and unique” describe the original songs that you’ll hear from Big Quack recording artist Steve Harris. His acoustic guitar style has been influenced and blended by years of playing professionally in folk, country, bluegrass and Celtic bands in a variety of venues. Steve has developed into a fine songwriter, both solo and in collaboration with other writers. Steve became permanently disabled in late 2001, but music and visual arts continue to be positive healing and creative forces in his life. Steve will be performing with Mark Dodge on guitar, bass, and tenor ukulele (Mark is on the LEFT in the photo), and Wende Hilyard on sweet harmony vocals. Come listen and buy a CD.

Get off the main road and go for an Acoustic Detour. Regular performers on the island, Acoustic Detour is an acoustic-based harmony group playing a wide variety of well-known tunes to more eclectic music, as well as an original or two. The group consists of Cathy Tibert on vocals, guitar, and flute, Eric Wilmoth on vocals and guitar, and Paul Tibert on bass. Join Dale, Bobby and Wes for some fun music and laughs.
Dale is a master entertainer and is wonderfully backed up by Bobby’s wash
tub bass and Wes’ tasty guitar. The latest member of the group (not in the
photo) is local fiddle champion Walt Werme, whose smokin' strings provide
the perfect musical burr under Coyote Moon's collective saddle.

For the past three years he has been playing at events around Stanwood and Camano Island. Mark loves singing the blues songs of Robert Johnson, Albert King, Magic Sam, Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter, John Lee Hooker and other blues greats.

A “fiddle tunes big band,” the South End String Band have created quite
a name for themselves in the Stanwood-Camano area. Comprising eleven local
musicians on fiddle, guitars, banjos, dulcimers, autoharp, percussion,
washboard, easel, sandpaper, etc., the South End Band plays music
everybody knows, and peppers each performance with a generous helping of
down-home wit and wisdom, served up by their anonymous “spiritual
advisor,” Skeeter Daddle. The hardest working band on Camano Island will
have a
second CD out soon, entitled “Victims of Unbridled Ambition” recorded on Camano
Island. Their first CD, "Legends in their own Minds" went "rusty tin,"
(not quite multi-platinum) according to Skeeter.
Come listen and buy their CDs.
