When Karl Moffit saw the need for a venue in Kitsap County where people could take music lessons, hear live concerts, purchase instruments or just grab a great coffee, he knew what to do.
“I opened JK’s Music House about four months ago after The Guitar Café in Silverdale closed its doors,” Moffit says. “I was the music teacher there for four years and that’s where I built my student base.
“With no other venue in Kitsap County offering what they did, I decided to continue – using my own brand and direction.”
At JK’s Music House in Silverdale, musicians of all levels can take lessons and join in open mic nights and music circles.
Located in Silverdale, JK’s Music House is a place where music lovers and musicians, from beginner to advanced, can join open-mic nights and music circles, or take private lessons from Moffit himself.
“It’s a chill, relaxing place to ask questions, try something different and make new friends,” he says. “I teach students as young as eight or nine, and some that are in their 80s!”
Originally from West Yorkshire, England, Moffit is an accomplished performer with more than 30 years of experience performing internationally, and can be seen playing with his Bucklin Hill Band across the country.

On Friday nights, try your hand at open-mic night, and on Saturday nights, take in some live music.
“We also sell a full range of new and used guitars, from entry-level to high-end,” Moffit says. “As well as various accessories like strings and straps, with new items being added regularly.”
