Zahasky family to perform

Hailing from Alaska?s capital city of Juneau, the Zahasky family, also recognized internationally as the Alaska String Band, brings the best of American music to their audiences and their next performance will be at the Washington Community Theater at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 21. This dynamic family band will be sponsored by the Washington Concert Association.

The Zahasky family consists of Paul and Melissa, husband and wife, and their three children, daughters Laura and Abigail, and son Quinn.

Their shows move along at a lively pace, as they perform American-roots music favorites such as swing, jazz, bluegrass, pop, gospel and an occasional original tune. As gifted instrumentalists, they often swap instruments during a performance. They knit each performance together with Zahasky family signature vocal harmonies. The family narration brings to life ancient customs and stories laced with humor, scandal, tragedy and celebration, as well as an intimate peek at the lives of contemporary Alaskans. They also often dress in handmade native Eskimo costumes.
