If you’re a fan of folk music and food, Falltober Fest is coming up tonight. The Alaska Folk Festival organized the concert featuring bands from Juneau and around the state. Folk fest board member Sergei Morosan helped set it up.
“For one, it’s just gonna have a real warm feel to it lighting wise and there’s gonna be chairs for people who want to sit,” says Morosan. “And then there’ll be a dance floor as well … which will also be close up to the stage so that there’s that connection of the band to the dancers, which I think is real important.”
Falltober Fest will get under way tonight at 7pm in the Rockwell Ballroom. The opening night acts are Tramwreck, The Overby Family Band, and Honky-Tonk Habit. Saturday night’s line-up features Rumblefish, the Great Alaska Bluegrass Band, and Cold Country, and starts at the same time.
KRNN is co-sponsoring the concert.
Tickets are $20 for one night or $30 for both, with discounts for seniors and students. They can be found at AKfolkfest.org, Hearthside Books, and The JACC. All proceeds benefit the Alaska Folk Festival.
