Musician Dawson Gentleman grew up in Fairbanks playing bass with his parents' family band doing mostly classic rock and old-school country music. After playing just about every venue Fairbanks has to offer, Gentleman decided to move to the "big city" of Anchorage. A breakup not long after moving here and getting into singer-songwriters inspired him to release a stripped down EP of acoustic songs called "2015."
He joins us to talk about settling in the Anchorage music scene, growing up playing all-nighters in bars as a teen and his other music project Shady Pines Retirement Home.
