Text Box: Acoustic Accents is Alaska’s radio showcase for great music with an acoustic “accent”. Each week we feature some of the finest singer-songwriters and musicians on the planet. In addition to great tunes, our regular feature “Words and Music” provides in-depth interviews and songs from many of the performers that are heard on the show. Produced at Spin Monkey Productions in the beautiful Upper Tanana Valley of Alaska, Acoustic Accents is broadcast in communities throughout the “Last Frontier”. Here on our web site you’ll find news of upcoming guests, archived playlists, links to artists, record companies, and other useful sites -plus a listing of when and where to find Acoustic Accents on your radio dial!

Box 89, Tok, Alaska 99780-0089 Text Box: A word from Producer and Host Bud Johnson I am constantly amazed at the number of talented musicians and songwriters who go largely unnoticed by the listening public. The vast majority of these artists rarely “fit” the narrowly focused formats of commercial radio. Each week it is my pleasure to introduce a few of these exceptional performers to the many Alaskans who regularly tune in to public radio. Thanks for listening, Bud Johnson

January - We’ll start the new year with an All Alaskan showcase featuring some of the many fine songwriters and musicians from right here in Alaska.  Buddy Tabor, Tim Robb, Bearfoot, Maria Ver Hoef and Steve Brown and the Bailers are just a few of the folks featured on this show.  Also in January new releases from Pieta Brown, Dave Rawlings Machine, and Sons of the Never Wrong.

Pete Seeger is asking us to join together to help a folk music institution! Since 1950, Sing Out! Magazine has been one of the most effective and respected ways for musicians to share and learn. As Sing Out! heads towards its 60th anniversary next spring, its non-profit parent -- which also produces "Rise Up Singing," Sing Out! Radio Magazine, and Pete's newly revised autobiography "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" -- is fighting for survival. Throughout its existence, Sing Out! has always operated close to the bone financially, but recent economic conditions, along with the current state of the print trade and periodicals, have come together to put the very existence of the magazine and organization in real danger. If you care about folk music, and want one of its community's strongest voices and allies to survive, I urge you to check out Pete's message at: http://www.singout.org/donate.html
