Tambayan at Kwentuhan runs May 1 – 30 at JACC Gallery

Juneau Afternoon – Recorded live on Wednesday, April 29, 2026

“Where Did We Sit on the Bus?” is a one-person show pulsing with Latin rhythms, rap, hip-hop, and spoken word. During a third-grade lesson on the civil rights movement and Rosa Parks, a Latinx eight-year-old raises their hand to ask, “Where did we sit on the bus?” and the teacher can’t answer the question. The production stars Enrique Bravo and is directed by Flordelino Lagundino and runs May 1 through May 17. For more information, visit theateralaska.org
Tambayan at Kwentuhan, meaning “a place to hang out and share stories” in Tagalog, showcases the stories of seven Filipino Alaskan elders through photo, text, video, and more. The exhibit is produced by a collective of Filipino Alaskan storytellers called Mana. The exhibit is up at the JACC Gallery from May 1 to May 30.
Juneau Libraries’ May events include Bike to the Library, the start of the Summer Reading Program, and Jeff Evans Magic Show. More details at juneau.org/library.
Juneau-Douglas City Museum opens “Critter Trek,” a summer-long exhibit, on May 1. Plus a preview of summer walking tours, including Capital Killers, Downtown Geology, and Historic Downtown Juneau.

Songwriters on Songwriters: Taylor Dallas Vidic and Spencer Edgers

KTOO Public Media — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 21:04:01 +0000

Spencer Edgers and Taylor Dallas Vidic in Studio 2K for Songwriters on Songwriters.

Songwriters on Songwriters featuring Taylor Dallas Vidic and Spencer Edgers

On this episode of Songwriters on Songwriters, Spencer Edgers chats with Taylor Dallas Vidic about Taylor’s debut album “Cat & Mouse.” They discuss their collaboration on the “Cat” half of the album, infused with jazz originals and Edgers’ arrangements. They also discuss the “Mouse” half of the album, which features an entirely different set of musicians and sound.

Songs include:
“Trash Birds”
“High”
“Wet Tennis Shoes”
“Cat & Mouse” (Two versions)
“Muse”

Taylor’s Bio:
Born and raised in Juneau, Alaska, Taylor Dallas Vidic has become a vital force in the Alaskan arts scene, both onstage and behind the scenes. An accomplished performer and songwriter, she presents her original music as a solo artist and with The Muskeg Collective. She is also a sought-after vocalist across genres, performing a wide range of non-original and stylistically diverse work with projects including The Nude & Rude Revue, The Juneau Big Band, and the all-star ensemble The High Costa Living. Beyond performing, Taylor is known for creating space – bringing artists together and building stages large and small for others to shine. Notable productions include Áuke Rock and TROLLFEST.

In April 2026, Taylor released her long-anticipated debut album, Cat & Mouse. Created with support from a Rasmuson Individual Artist Award and 267 Kickstarter backers, the record is a two-part musical experience that reflects her life between genres. The “Cat” half features Taylor’s jazz-forward originals, fully orchestrated by Spencer Edgers and recorded at Frostline Studios in Anchorage with a dozen Alaskan musicians. The folk-rock “Mouse” half was recorded at Sage Arts outside Seattle, bringing together a separate collective of Alaskan artists for a distinct but complementary sound.

Spencer’s Bio:
Spencer Edgers is a composer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist whose work spans opera, film, multimedia, and chamber settings. Based in Juneau, Alaska, they have premiered original works, including the short operas The Dust Gets in Your Eyes and Everything After with Seattle Opera, and Little Things with Theater Alaska and the Orpheus Project. A finalist for the 2024 American Prize in Composition (Opera, Theater, Film, and Dance), they continue to establish themself as a distinct voice in contemporary music. Their work seeks to rewire the listener’s mind through new sounds and forms, reshaping familiar genres into something that sparks curiosity, connection, and discovery.

They hold a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies from Temple University and a Master of Music in Film Composition from the Seattle Film Institute. Their current project, Black Rock USA, is a 70-minute, two-act opera that explores queerness, identity, and labor rights within a fictional 1890s mining town. Drawing on their experience across genres including jazz, folk, opera, and musical theater, they aim to merge tradition and innovation, using music to tell modern stories with timeless emotional power
