  • A guest 80% for Tim McGraw · Wed, 29 Oct 2014

    One of the best concerts I've been up in Alaska. Security could have done a better job of keeping people in their section, but Tim McGraw brought the house down!!

  • A guest 80% for Yellowcard at The Road To Vans Warped Tour 2014 festival · Wed, 11 Jun 2014

    It was the very first time warped tour had come to Alaska and it was amazing! All the bands were fun and energetic and friendly! I had a great time and am definitely going again next year. I do think however maybe it should not have been an all ages event because there was a ton of swearing and lots of pot smokers. Also, I think there should have been a better variety in food vendors. Over all the concert was incredible, though, and everyone had a ton of fun!

  • A guest 100% for Manchester Orchestra · Thu, 06 Mar 2014

    The Bear Tooth is an intimate venue. I had recently become aware of the band and was pumped for this show. The Young Shins from Fairbanks opened and killed. Then MO came on stage with no fanfare, no prolonged intro. They just walked out, picked up their instruments and started playing. It was amazing. So much power and depth and rawness. Their music reaches me. I’m a grown man but I stood there 20 feet away, singing my lungs out, vibrating with joy, and weeping. Best live show of my entire life.
