Shuck & Strum Kick-Off: Adam Thorne’s Eclectic Country-Rock Hits the Fjord Oyster Bank

KMAS is launching its brand-new Shuck & Strum summer concert series, live from the Fjord Oyster Bank in Hoodsport, Washington—and we’re starting strong with Kitsap County singer-songwriter Adam Thorne (@adamthornemusic). Host Jeff Slakey chats with the 16-year Navy veteran about juggling submarine communications by day and guitar strings by night, the 20-year evolution of his songwriting, and why “regionally well-thought-of” is a business-card flex.

Expect talk of Dwight Yoakam twang, Black Keys riffs, pop-punk chord progressions, and Thorne’s brewery-circuit gigs from Poulsbo to Kingston. Adam previews Thursday’s 90-minute set, reveals the stories behind his upcoming three-song EP, and invites everyone—kegger hosts included—to book him. Special guest Carlos Santos (aka @guitarlos) will join on rhythm guitar so Adam can finally ditch the looper pedal.

Catch the show in person at the bank, on AM 1030, FM 103.3, or any KMAS stream. Music kicks off at 6 p.m., wraps around 7:30 p.m., with plenty of time to meet Adam afterward.
