Before he leaves for a summer in Puerto Rico, Juneau songwriter Ryan Cortes will be performing at the Valley bar and venue McGivney’s this Friday for a special solo set. According to Cortes, he may-or-may-not be joined by his Gemini Waltz band mate and blues guitarist Ryland Buller who accompanied Cortes with a full band during the Alaska Folk Festival this past April. The Juneau band has released two tracks on their Bandcamp page now available for download. Cortes will be playing at McGivney’s Bar & Grill from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Friday, June 26.
