Marc Brown grew up hearing old time Athabascan fiddle playing — music that inspired him to seek his own path as a blues guitarist and singer. Today, he fronts one of Fairbank’s most popular bands, Marc Brown and the Blues Crew. Not only is he a prolific performer, but he’s recorded more than a dozen albums.
On Friday’s Juneau Afternoon, he talks about his journey as a Native American artist and his latest milestone, performing at Rock Aak’w, Alaska’s first Indigenous music festival.
Also on the show:
A deep dive into the future of Alaska’s mariculture industry. Why it holds such promise for Southeast Alaska.
