AppAlaska Bluegrass

Driving traditional Bluegrass with some songs thrown in that the audience is sure to know and love. A professional band who dresses the part, shows up when they say they will, and whom the audience will grow to love.

Scott Norris was born in Anchorage Alaska and has been exposed to bluegrass since before he was born, being from a musical family. He had a career in the maritime field which allowed him to study bluegrass all over the country and the world. Two years ago he decided to start playing music full time and has been headlining festivals all over the country ever since. He made his home in the Salt Lake area with his wife Toshia to further that career, and started AppAlaska Bluegrass with his old friend and band mate Randy Paisley, who is from Grassy Creek NC, which is right in the Blue Ridge (or Appalachian) Mountains. Randy is related to the famous Ola Belle Reed, who wrote many a famous bluegrass and old time song. Hence, AppAlaska Bluegrass! The band is rounded out by local talents Tyrell Allan on guitar and tenor vocals, Dylan Schorer on guitar and dobro, Hudson Bosworth (who trained under Wyatt Rice) on mandoline and guitar, and Juliett Camille on mandoline and fiddle.

The fee is $150 per man per hour, from a duet to a full six piece band. We charge $100 per hour for travel time, as well as $100 for use of our sound system. We will play up to 4 hours (with 3 set breaks) and appreciate food and drinks, although that is not a requirement.
