"Majestic, power keyboard landscapes."

That's the way Chris Dixon of PROGNET has described their sound.

Alaska formed in the 80's when it performed at regional arts festivals in Pennsylvania.
Their self-titled debut album was released in 1998, and within months they appeared
at the ProgDay '98 and NEARfest '99 international progressive rock festivals,
toured the midwest USA with Sweden's supergroup The Pär Lindh Project and acted as a back-up
band for Barry Palmer, lead vocalist of the legendary progressive rock group Triumvirat.




Alaska performs live with only two players
without the use of pre-recorded instrumental back-up tracks or sequences.
