Anchorage Music Co-op presents "Round Robin Artist Showcase"

Jan 26 at 7pm. Doors open at 6:15pm.

"Round Robin Artist Showcase" features the outstanding talents of Melissa Mitchell, Emma Hill and Seth Boyer on stage. All three of these performers will play their own original music with cunning melodies and jabbing lyrics. They will share the stage in Out North's black box theater, providing a long overdue bridge between the overflowing local talent and audiences that don't seek out live music at typical Anchorage watering holes. The January 26th launch has been embraced by the Anchorage Folk Festival as a part of Anchorage Folk Week. Tickets are going fast. Tickets can be purchased at Centertix: http://alaskapac.centertix.net/eventperformances.asp?evt=899.

Tickets are $15 regular/$10 for Music Co-op Members and Students. Show is on Jan 26 and starts at 7pm. Doors open at 6:15pm.

D Projects Out North

February 17 & 18 at 8pm
Tickets: $25 regular, $20 student/60+/Military in advance at www.centertix.net, $30/$25 at the door.

-Projects Out North brings the heat of Miami to Anchorage in the dead of winter. B-Boy, beatbox, rhyme and live music create complex characters all living to tell their American Dreams in two solo shows. NE 2nd Avenue by Teo Castellanos takes the audience on a runaway journey through Miami’s richly textured mix of cultures and influences. Insanity Isn’t by Rudi Goblen opens eyes in a nightmare of modern proportions, keeps it real the way only a B-Boy can, and finds the way to insane sanity.
