Alicia Viani & Beth Wood

The Alicia Viani Band (Mark Karwan on vocals and acoustic bass, Pete Kartsounes on vocals and lead guitar, and Scott Oliphant on percussion) creates unforgettable musical journeys crafted with provocative lyrics and innovative instrumentation. Impassioned by storytelling and connection, Alicia's deep and insightful songs and melodicism is both a salve for our cultural woes as well as an inspiration to bring our greater selves forth. The collective talent of the ensemble pulls listeners into an intimate world of important stories of the human condition that come to life with their integration of jazz, funk, classical, country, and americana into their indie folk. The group performs in listening rooms, venues, festivals, and celebrations in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.
