SUMMARY:Black Barrel and the Bad Men at Palmer Alehouse
DESCRIPTION:This is a FREE all ages show. Attendees 21 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.\nAnchorage-based Black Barrel & The Bad Men blend gritty Americana with soul-stirring blues and rock ‘n’ roll swagger. With a sound that channels outlaw country roots\, gospel-tinged harmonies\, and whiskey-soaked grit\, this band delivers raw\, high-octane performances that leave crowds breathless.\nTheir latest album\, Ronald (2024)\, and breakout 2023 release Barrel Season showcase a fearless range — from hard-driving anthems like “Dyin’ Tryin’” to haunting ballads like “Brand New Love.” These aren’t just songs; they’re stories carved from backwoods heartbreak and backroom resilience.\nWhether it’s a dive bar or festival stage\, Black Barrel & The Bad Men don’t just play music — they bring it to life. Get ready for a night of soulful stomping\, outlaw grooves\, and the kind of sweat-soaked energy that only comes from a band born of the wild north.

Every participant is rewarded with beautiful views of the property\, the musk oxen\, the surrounding mountains\, a story to tell\, and even a commemorative race t shirt! \nK KID’S Fun RUN\n11:00AM \nWe love offering a fun run for the kiddos!
