Ol’ blue eyes, Andy Walker.

Coupeville’s velvet voice is picking up the microphone as part of a benefit for the Oak Harbor Music Festival.

Recent CHS grad Andy Walker will open for nationally-known singer Austin Jenckes Saturday night in a concert set for the Oak Harbor Roller Barn.

The event runs from 7-10 PM and tickets, which are $20 in advance, are on sale now.

The concert is a fundraiser for the music festival, which is slated for Aug. 29-31 this year.

The festival gives back by funding musical students on Whidbey, such as Walker, who has received a $1,000 scholarship.

In the fall he will attend the University of Northern Colorado.

Jenckes, who hails from Duvall, got his big break when he appeared on NBC’s singing show “The Voice,” where he was coached by country music superstar Blake Shelton.

To buy tickets early (they are $5 extra at the door), head over to:

There is money to be made here.

Coupeville High School senior athletes are eligible for a new scholarship that is being offered by Whidbey Island photographer John Fisken starting this year.

Fisken, whose work can be found at http://www.cascadeathletics.com/index.php?district=1&league=2, will fund the scholarship(s) off of money raised from purchases of his photos.

The more sales, the higher the scholarship amount. The higher the amount, the chance it might be split into two scholarships.

To be eligible, a Wolf athlete needs to meet the following criteria:

*Be a full-time CHS student-athlete

*Have participated in at least two sports per year for all four years of high school

*NOT be getting any financial assistance from any college or university for sports

*Minimum 3.0 GPA

*Write a 500 word essay “How Sports Made Me A Better Person”

Interested Wolf athletes can get applications and more info at the CHS counseling office.
