Haines musicians are gearing up for the 42nd Annual Alaska Folk Fest, where hundreds of musicians will converge on Juneau for a week of tunes not just of the folk variety.
“It’s kind of an odd thing that they call it the Alaska Folk Festival,” said Haines musician John Hunt, “because there are jazz artists and country artists and mandolins and fiddles and guitars. I’ve played square dances with my trombone. It’s just a hoot.”
