I believe you are in Fairbanks, bet? Unless your plans morphed?
There are many players in Fbks. See if you can find Will Putman and Trudi Heffernan in the phone book. Trudi plays bass, Will plays guitar and writes and sings great songs. A wonderful man and musician, Buddy (Carl) Hoffman, is about 15 miles out of town but plays in a lot of places around town. There are many more. Good luck. Hope you love it there.
