KXLL

Juneau songwriter Liz Snyder brought her enchanting original music and incredible whistling to KTOO’s red carpet for her first live solo performance in two years. Snyder is well known in Southeast Alaska as a member of folk rock duo The Wool Pullers. She pulled out two new songs along with crowd favorite “Garbo Has No Say in This.”

Set List:
“Garbo Has No Say in This”
“Verse by Verse”
“Stop”

The concert was recorded June 12 in the KTOO arts, culture and music office.

After making national news for their salmon leather startup, the boys of Tidal Vision stopped by KXLL yesterday morning to show off their newest salmon leather wallets.

The Juneau-based company founded by Juneau-Douglas High School graduate Craig Kasberg is in the middle of a Kickstarter campaign working toward their stretch goal of $50,000. They met their initial goal of  $17,5000 within the first 24 hours. 

Hear how Kasberg was inspired to turn salmon waste into fashion during an interview with Tidal Vision’s Chief Operating Officer Zach Wilkinson on Annie B’s morning show:

We’re hosting a Fishermen’s Social to thank folks for supporting the Salmon Beyond Borders campaign here in town and wish folks well for a good summer. – Jill Weitz, Trout Unlimited

Juneau artist Giselle Stone joined Annie B. to preview her upcoming First Friday event, a graffiti art installation and decoration inside The Taqueria inspired by the murals of Baja. She traveled there this past winter.

Listen to Stone explain how she came to paint the restaurant, the ’80s “Miami Vice” party theme and her passion for spray painting:

Collete Costa dropped by the KXLL studio to talk about happenings at Gold Town Nickelodeon and this weekend’s  Not-So-Silent film: The Adventures of Prince Achmed, scored and performed live by Seattle musicians Miles & Karina. We’re hoping the duo will squeeze in a live performance Friday morning.

Our Memphis heroes Deering and Down premiered their new video for “You’re the One” on Ditty TV yesterday. Directed by Matteo Servente, “You’re the One” is the first single to be released from their yet-to-be named album out later this year.

During a question and answer session before the video premiere,  Lahna Deering said the video was going to feature Matador outfits and imagery until they saw Madonna’s performance at the Grammys which made the team redesign the video. We love the results.
