Brianna Lea Pruett’s latest album Gypsy Bells is her 5th release, a folk album filled with yearning melodies and insightful lyrics. Of Choctaw, Cherokee, and Chickasaw heritage, she talks in our interview about the mentality of being “Urban Native”, growing up in the city while maintaining ties to her culture and family stories. We discuss her background as a photographer/poet/filmmaker as well as the new album she’s working on.

Loren’s been on the Radio in Anchorage for 30 years. Since the mid 80's he's worked with Anchorage radio stations including KWHL, KFQD, KKLV, and KMXS. His passion for Music and the 'Triple-A' radio format began in the early 90’s which led to him to help establish the format for KNBA when the station signed on in 1996. When not on the radio hosting a music show and interviewing local and national music acts, he may be on a long road trip or you’ll find him hanging out at his log cabin in the quiet, but bear filled hillside valley of his hometown Anchorage.
