- 3/15 - Lisa Puananimohala'ikalani Denny
- 3/22 - Erin Heist
- 3/29 - Sunny Porch
- 4/05 - Dara Rilatos
- 4/19 - Nicole Church

During Alaska Folk Festival week, we'll congregate on Satuday 4/15 at 3pm instead of Wednesday night for the AFF Songwriter Showcase -- three hours of open mic, all original songs.
We can't wait to see you back again for Mountainside!
