Thanks to incredible sponsors like Barrett and Associates Insurance, Algone, Recover Alaska, Thrive Matsu, C3, Matanuska Music and of course, The People's Paper, we just completed our sixth night of The Spot! Our sponsors have helped make sure this event has a sustainable future, providing a substance prevention program in the Valley for years to come, and we are blessed to have them!
This month, we were happy to welcome a new sponsor, Gagnon Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Janel and her husband, Dr. Gagnon, love their community and support music any chance they get, and we appreciate their contribution! If you would like to help sponsor The Spot, the Valley's only music-based, substance prevention program, please contact Michael C. on Facebook or by calling the number at the bottom of the article.
Each first Friday of the month, The Spot offers a stage for youth performers and music enthusiasts, with a full drum set, a PA, a sound guy and guitar amps. The 3-hour event starts at 6pm and offers 20-minute blocks for performers of all backgrounds and passions to do their thing. Poets, DJs, songwriters, metal heads, it's all welcome at The Spot. Best of all, it's completely free!
Night six featured a poet who spoke of love, heartbreak, friendship and moving past life's obstacles. Featured artists, Road Krill, played a couple sets and also backed up Tristan, another newcomer to The Spot that shared his guitar playing with the attentive crowd in attendance. You can find Road Krill playing shows around the Valley. Like their Facebook page for more info on upcoming shows. Next month's featured artist will be Devon Shaw of UTN, bringing some hip-hop to The Spot for the first time!
The next night of The Spot will be July 6th, from 6pm-9pm at the Gathering Grounds Café on Willow St. in Wasilla. The Spot is completely free and welcomes families with kids under 21, and of course, anyone under 21 that wants to come out and hear music or perform.
Anyone that has any questions about sponsorship, attending, becoming a part of the staff or even becoming a featured musician, please reach out to Michael C. Thank you to MY House and the Gathering Grounds Café for providing a spot for us, and we'll see you next month!
