Chris Yeaton Biography
Hawaii born, Chris Yeaton, draws from a lineage of great Hawaiian slack key tradition. His musical inspiration and journey begins with one of Hawaii's most celebrated musicians, master Slack Key guitarist Keola Beamer, and would continue with Big Island Slack Key master John Keawe. Yeaton credits his good friend and guitar guru Gordon Rowland for providing his first opportunity to perform on stage in front of a live audience. Since then he has become more and more interested in performing and sharing his music as well as sharing the venues with other musicians like him through www.woodsongacoustics.com
Along with traditional slack key pieces he now incorporates a blend of contemporary Fingerstyle into his playing, drawing from other renowned artists such as, William Ackerman, Alex de Grassi, William Coulter, Peppino D’Agostino, Patrick Landeza and Keoki Kahumoku. Yeaton’s is a unique style of beautiful and progressive Slack Key. His 2nd album “Ho’o Pa’a, The Stand” was released in January of 2006. Chris Yeaton has toured nationally with guitar masters Keola Beamer and John Keawe.
“ . . . Innovative and refreshing . . .” ~ Keola Beamer
“There's assurance and invention in his strumming; he's learned well and carries the tradition with dignity. Yeaton's got a Hawaiian soul and is one to watch. In time, he should be right up there with his mentors."
