Blake Noble & His Mates

Blake Noble went from living in a tent on the beach and busking on the streets of Australia, to packed venues and standing ovations in the music metropolis of Seattle. Wielding a beat-up acoustic guitar like a drum kit with strings - played simultaneously with the deep drone of the ancient Australian Didgeridoo - Noble takes audiences on a journey, devouring influences for fuel. Glimpses of rock, folk, funk, blues, and tribal music have been serving this Aussie expat well for over a decade, creating a truly unique sound and musical approach that can capture any audience without singing a single lyric. Blake will be joined by a few of his mates, including festival founder Cody Beebe and a very rare performance by an old Chinook Fest favorite - Rust On the Rails!
