Fairbanks Performer Comes to Delta

The house was packed for the house concert, featuring Michael Stackhouse, on Saturday evening following Thanksgiving.

30 or so appreciative folks listened and watched in the Senior Lounge as Mike played guitar and harmonica (simultaneously) and sang 2 hours worth of material drawn largely from his CD Comin Home, which may be procured from CD Baby on the web.

Michael is a charming and animated performer, and when he smiles, his entire face---no, wait,---the entire room lights up!

Michael is a regular performer in Fairbanks at the Tanana Valley Fair each year, the Folk Festival, and other venues around town. No cheechako, he has been an Alaskan for many years, and has a homestead 10 miles south of the Arctic Circle on Red Mountain Creek. Retired from State service, he is now delighted to be able to spend more time developing his performance skills, and preparing to record another CD.

Enthusiasts were fortunate to be able to book Michael for this personal concert and the delectable snacks brought to Delta courtesy Alpha Omega Life Care, Inc. and the Polar Pickers.
