Live In-Studio: Strand of Oaks

March 20, 2015

Tim Showalter from Strand of Oaks stopped into the KNBA studios for a Live In-Studio session with Afternoon Music Show host Loren Dixon.  The Monolith agency and Tap Root brought Tim and the band to Anchorage for 2 shows. Local music opened each night as the Super Saturated Sugar Strings play Friday and the Fairbanks band Young Fangs open on Saturday. 

Listen for more Live In-Studio sessions weekdays as part of the Afternoon Music Show on KNBA!

Loren’s been on the Radio in Anchorage for 40 of the 50+ years he's lived here. Since the mid 80's he's worked with Anchorage radio stations including KWHL, KFQD, KKLV, KHAR and KMXS. His passion for programming a station and the 'Triple-A' radio format began in the early 90’s which led to him to help establish the format on KNBA when the station signed on in 1996. When not on the radio hosting a music show and interviewing local and national music acts, he may be hosting a stage at the Salmonfest music festival, carving a snow sculpture during Fur Rendezvous, on a road trip adventure, or hanging out in his hometown Anchorage.
