Natalie Gelman Returns to Alaska this Summer
Contributed by Larry Lee Hansen
There's something special about seeing familiar faces return to Alaska, and we're excited to welcome Natalie Gelman back north this summer for her 2026 Mountain Mama Tour! Her 2024 Alaska run left quite an impression, not only because she was eight months pregnant at the time, but because of the genuine connections she made everywhere she played.
Now she's back with her growing family and a summer full of performances across the state. Whether you're seeing her for the first time or catching another show, this year's tour brings plenty of chances to gather with friends, enjoy some live music, and welcome a favorite traveling musician back to Alaska. We're thrilled to have her back! Check out the dates below to find a show near you.
