THE ALASKA MUSIC SHOWCASE PRESENTED BY CANDLEWICK STUDIOS

At Candlewick Studios we are focused on elevating emerging artists and regional music scenes through thoughtful programming, storytelling, and artist support. Both a personal one-person agency and a collaborative platform, Candlewick Studios operates on the belief that strong ideas deserve to be seen, heard, and realized—and that artists and small business owners shouldn’t have to navigate that process alone.

Working across photography, branding, event curation and more, Candlewick Studios partners with artists to help bring their vision to fruition while creating opportunities for broader visibility and connection.

For the Alaska Music Showcase at NextFest LA 2026, Candlewick Studios presents four artists with deep roots in Alaska’s music community who have relocated to Los Angeles in recent years. The showcase highlights a shared trajectory—artists shaped by Alaska’s creative landscape who are now building new momentum in LA—offering audiences a chance to experience the energy of the Last Frontier as it continues to evolve in a new home.
