“We never turn up our nose or say, ‘this place is too small why would we come to this little tiny place.’ The band is independent so if we’re curious about a place we’ll try to go,” says Large.

Pink Martini’s lead singer Storm Large says the band’s performances are booked years in advance. But, if time allows, when they visit a city like Anchorage they’ll reach out to other communities to see if they’d be interested in a show.

“Really it’s just kind of like, ‘wow we’ve never been to Homer. Oh, can we go to a school and that will be great. We can talk to the kids and we could incorporate some of the kids into playing the concert,’” explains Large.
