New Years Eve Party with TC Ryder & The Groovetones

Whidbey Island’s own TC Ryder and the Groovetones are set to transform Ott & Hunter’s Cabaret Room into the ultimate New Year’s Eve celebration spot. This powerhouse band —already legendary for tearing it up across the island— will rock, funk, and groove you straight into 2026 in unforgettable style.

We’re even clearing the piano off the stage to make room for their electrifying sound, because when TC Ryder and the Groovetones play, the whole room moves. If you haven’t yet experienced their magic, this is the night and place to do it.

Three hours of pure groove: Get ready for a journey through the best of the ’70s—songs that will spark memories of tunes you thought you’d forgotten, brought back to life by some of Whidbey’s finest musicians:

• Troy Chapman – guitar & vocals

• Greg Beck – guitar & vocals

• Brad Thomas – keyboards
