Talented Musician, Alex Mabey, Sings for Seldovia on Saturday Night!
by Jenny Chissus, another Great Concert sponsored by the Seldovia Arts Council
Mark your calendars, don’t put your jammies on early and settle in at home! Make plans to attend this free concert and dessert potluck at the Sea Otter Community Center this Saturday night at 7:00pm! Bring your desserts and enjoy an evening out, and a top-notch serenade! Alex Mabey, from Washington is here to sing for Seldovia!
I had a chance to sit down with Alex and visit about how she came to love singing, songwriting, travel and now Seldovia! Alex is a charming gal, with a great smile, a big heart for Alaska and a wonderful voice! We are fortunate to be able to enjoy this intimate concert setting, where we can visit and enjoy making a new friend with a traveling artist!
Alex is dating our Math and Science teacher, Justin Derks, (What is that about opposites attracting? Artist girl, math/science guy?) which is what has brought her to Seldovia. To find out a little more about Alex, enjoy this uncut and authentic video (sorry Alex – left in the part about editing out something!) of an introduction to Alex and an invitation to the community of Seldovia to come out Saturday night! Oh, did I say the concert was sponsored by the Seldovia Arts Council, and that it is free to enjoy for the whole community?
Yes – do bring dessert! See you there! Oh, also, I heard there are new chairs in the SOCC?

Just a Few Notes, Kudos and Thank Yous!

I would like to personally thank all those who did such a great job on the Seldovia Summer Solstice Music Festival. It was a great success, well attended and beautiful to listen to.
I think the spirit of the festival was best seen at the beginning and the end of the festival. Each night the music was ushered in by Aliah Wheeler and Brian Slover on their Native American Flutes. The notes, so artfully made, soared around the room transforming it. The evening performances were equally special. Our local group Billy Goat rounded out the Friday night performance with great harmonies. Saturday night a rousing all-performer ending chorus of “Summertime” was returned by an equally enthusiastic return chorus by the audience, which many of the performers said, sent chills up their spines.
Highlights of the festival for me included the sunny days making outdoor jamming fun, the high quality workshops that were so well attended this year, and the shows themselves. Continue Reading
