Great Alaskan music, delivered with the heartfelt conviction expected from a band that has played every kind of gig all over the state. A cool mix of cover tunes and solid original music, keeps the room alive all night.

Recently dubbed the official Party Band of the Thompson Pass snow kite festival. These local dudes bring on the Groove. This is their first Sitzmark show, and we cant wait to watch em shine.

Eric McFadden may just be one of the hardest working performers in the business.

The Eric McFadden Trio features McFadden on guitar and vocals and James Whiton on the acoustic bass along side drummer Jeff Cohen a long-time friend and musical compatriot - this dynamic line-up is the latest incarnation for one of music's most prolific personalities.

McFadden's raspy baritone and impressive guitar chops have made him a perennial favorite among his peers. Throughout his long career, he has shared the stage with such luminaries as Bo Diddley, Keb Mo', Living Colour, Les Claypool, Carla Bozulich, Widespread Panic, Stockholm Syndrome, the Reverend Horton Heat, and Clash front man Joe Strummer, amongst many others. George Clinton was so impressed with McFadden that he recruited him as a touring member of the P-Funk All Stars, and his guitar work can be heard on their latest album.

"In James Whiton, McFadden has found his ideal musical foil. A virtuoso of acoustic upright double bass, Whiton slaps, bows, maneuvers, and manipulates his instrument with orchestral precision and street corner desperation, reflecting the sinister world of desert derelicts and carnival cons who have so long proliferated in McFadden's songs."
-Silke Tudor, SF Weekly

It is rare to find such an important musician in such an intimate setting. Be sure to catch the Eric McFadden Trio as they traverse the west coast and the Rocky Mountains all the way to ALASKA this spring
