On today’s program:
- Musician and Road Poet Gordie Tentrees
- The international touring award-winning Canadian (Yukon) artist has arrived. This authentic road poet travels North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, UK/Ireland, and Scandinavia with eight records behind him, solo or with legendary sideman Jaxon Haldane (famed Winnipeg band D-Rangers), never repeating himself on stage. From Celtic Connections (Glasgow, Scotland) to the National Folk Festival (Canberra, AU), his ability to hold an audience and weave melody while juggling the dark with the light is infectious.
- He will play the Crystal Saloon Monday, July 31
- Lovely Colours — It’s a sound you’ll recognize when you hear it. With inspiration from Brit Pop and a heavy helping of today’s Alt-Rock, the band Lovely Colours has been making waves in the Seattle Music scene. With roots in Juneau, they return now for their first-ever shows in Alaska. Friday, July 28, at the Crystal Saloon and then up at the Southeast Alaska State Fair in Haines.
- Mercedes Munoz Pop-Up Pottery Shop
- Mercedes Munoz is a ceramic and illustration artist based in Juneau. Inspired by the relationship between function and art, Mercedes creates functional forms for everyday life (mugs, platters, bowls, etc.) and decorates them with playful, colorful illustrations inspired by Alaska as well as the little things in her own life that spark joy.
