Alaska Originals

Anna Lynch is an Alaskan songwriter who has opened for acts including Rock n Roll Hall of Famer Leon Russell, Lucy Wainwright Roche, Sea Wolf and Matt Kearney. This is pitch-perfect country songwriting, built on a bed of Alaskan bluegrass.

This Alaska Originals concert features Deering and Down, an Alaska-hatched duo, based in Memphis, whose style is truly original. Their music was once described as “smoky Memphis cast in shimmering northern lights.”
