Chuck Brainerd: Singer/songwriter

Jean McDermott: From Scotland to Sweden: fun with fiddling; http://tartantundra.com

Even A Blind Hog: Unapologetic Irish. As Grandpa used to say, "Even a blind hog turns up an acorn now and then."

Jeff Mason and the Woodshedders

Tundra Ry and Tundra Daisy: A little of this and a little of that. 

Casey Smith: I play mostly rock music, using a looping pedal. My friend Jesse Bartlett plays bass and sing backup vox, but I can also play solo depending on if she is available. I would say the half of my songs are acoustic and the other are electric guitar songs; https://caseysmith34.bandcamp.com/releases

The Vocal Chords: Mythical Folk Music; Facebook.com/songsbyjoe

Edee Gail: Upbeat, fun, original music played by an upbeat, fun, original gal! edeegail.com

Inna Rivkin: Visually creative folk originals with echoes of the Alaskan wilderness; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8NndBiwNAY​

Tommy Dahill: Gothic Alaskountry--grungy country blues on a banjo; www.tommydahill.com;  https://soundcloud.com/user-457382027

Raven Call: Eclectic mix of musical scraps, with a few originals thrown in. We're not sure what we'll fly in with this time, but may include something from the 13th century, an original jazz waltz, or a reggae jig. We'll see what we find on the side of the road this time. Caww!

Mike Stackhouse: Folk music, heavily influenced by country, rock, and blues.

Eric Barker & Margaret Ransdell-Green: Piano/Vocal Duets with original art songs and covers; www.whitealicemusic.com

Jessica Christenson: I play a mix of folk/blues/roots covers and originals.

The Bowers Trio: There’s no old-time like the present.

Ice Jam: Ice Jam is a musical pile-up of songs and instrumentals from various genres, original and traditional, upbeat and soothing, joyous and mournful, rowdy and thoughtful, past and present, mythical and real. Ice Jam IS Interior Alaska. Jam with Ice Jam Wednesday evenings at the College Road Pizza Hut, and hear samples of Ice Jam's original CD (currently Ice Jam has 3 original and 2 new members, plus a NEW BABY who will probably perform with us onstage :-) ) at https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/icejam 

Ken Brown & Crooked Road: Playing a danceable mix of Americana, Bluegrass, and Classic Country, Ken Brown & Crooked Road emerged from the ashes of Kentucky Tundra. Singing both original songs by Ken and well-known songs by Hank Williams, Sr., Lefty Frizzell, Johnny Cash, and Bill Monroe, Ken Brown & Crooked Road will keep your audience entertained! www.facebook.com\kenbrown&cookedroad

The Day-Night Band: Geophysical Alternative-folk

Out of Bounds: Guitar and mandolin. folk/rock/country. 1/2 covers 1/2 original

Susan Grace: Singer-songwriter, singing for Alaska!

Eel House Reunion Band: Briefly reunited, this is a rare chance to soak up those eel-tastic grooves you've been pining for! Did you miss us??

Terry Kelly: Terry Kelly is a singer/songwriter living in Anchorage, Alaska who writes songs about love, bears, and other wildlife. His music combines folk, pop and Americana with many songs about life in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Think George Harrison, James Taylor, and John Prine sharing a tent on the Iditarod Trail; https://www.reverbnation.com/terrykelly

UnSupervised: Fairbanks-area rock trio. We play mostly covers. Rock & roll, folk, speed-folk, alternative and punk. Everything from Buck Owens to The Ramones ;) https://www.facebook.com/AKUnSupervised/

Them Folkers: Spousal acoustic duo slapping you with funky-folky cover tunes! https://www.facebook.com/ThemFolkers/​

Ryan Bowers and the Brain Trust: Emotionally complex and catchy acoustic songs full of wordcraft and devastation, with thoughtful storytelling and a beating dance heart. On tour with the new album Sweet Calamity! ryanbowersandthebraintrust.com​

James Ormerod: James Ormerod is from North Carolina and has played music in Ohio and Portland, Oregon. He is excited to be here in Alaska playing original songs on his acoustic guitar for you today!
