festival.
Salmonstock blends a small-town country atmosphere with the flavor of an established music festival in what amounted to three days of fun celebrating and educating wild salmon warriors on the protection of Alaska salmon and the threats posed by the proposed Pebble Mine in the Bristol Bay watershed.Presented by the Renewable Resources Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting Alaskas wild fishing and hunting resources, Salmonstock brought together over 5,Gives a basic overview of goggles-visor tools and demonstrates their use.000 wild salmon supporters in Ninilchik for what has morphed into Alaskas largest and best music festival.
The festival featured over 50 bands from Alaska, the Northwest and national music artists on four stages, with headliners Brandi Carlile, Grammy Award winner and legendary songwriter/musician Peter Rowan, who played with Jerry Garcia and penned Panama Red along with Soul Rebels out of New Orleans, Moonalice with its Grateful Dead-infused music, Hawaiian Reggae ambassador Marty Dread, DeadPhish Orchestra, The Big Wu and Great American Taxi (coined as Salmonstocks house band). Alaskans played, too, including Anchorages Rebel Soul and Kenai Peninsula favorites The Robb Justice Band and Troubadour North.
One of the most memorable moments of the weekend was Saturdays increasingly popular human mosaic, where more than 500 participants gathered in the rodeo grounds under the guidance of creator/facilitator Mavis Muller, of Homer, to send a message of support for wild Alaska salmon. Muller arranged volunteers in a human mosaic before an aircraft piloted by Mike Neese came into position for photographer Carl Johnson to capture the moment.
Muller also created a woven, fire-breathing salmon sculpture named Fireblaster, made from local and very abundant alder branches. Fireblaster took more than two weeks to bring to life. Muller also is the creator of the summer-ending Burning Basket festivities in Homer.Each year Salmonstock hosts artists in residence, with their works adorning the stages, buildings, merchandise and promotional works of the Renewable Resources Foundation.
The festival prides itself on being family-friendly, and one of the popular festivities this year was the childrens activity area, where kids and parents participated in numerous indoor activities, including a giant outdoor slide where long lines were the theme of the day.Along with the ever-popular beer garden with its views of the Ocean Stage, which was packed daily with orderly Salmonstockers under controlled security, the food court area was doing a brisk business all weekend, with an assortment of food that ran the gamut from grilled cheese to falafels, seafood, barbecue, Thai food, Mexican, and the traditional fair food of hotdogs and hamburgers. As one vendor happily announced, We were slammed all weekend!
While fish was on the minds of the festival organizers, music was the heart and soul to the festival. Large crowds spread over the Ocean Stage lawns with people stretched out in blankets, lounge chairs and umbrellas to listen to the music supplied by more 50 bands from Alaska and beyond.
Great American Taxi rocked the crowd to a close Friday night, led by Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon on vocals, guitar and mandolin, with their signature upbeat country-bluegrass-rock-infused Americana.
Nellie Clay and the Lucky Dogs rang in on the River Stage, along with the Rebel Blues, the Meg Mackey Band and the Seth Freeman Band, among others. The Late Night at the Headwaters indoor jam started with the Deadphish Orchestra at 1 a.m. and rocked the crowd until its 3 a.m. close.

The buzz of the day was the arrival of country/rocker Brandi Carlile for the evenings main show, but the day was filled with great musical acts from the likes of Up A Mountain, SHUPA, The Sweeteners, John Cottington and Katie Emerick. Crowd favorites Fat City Revival Rock N Roll Soul Revival, Larry Keel and Natural Bridge, with his acoustic flat-picking guitar steeped in rich mountain music culture, was a crowd pleaser. The Sweetener and Head for the Hills, from Colorado, lulled the crowd with their modern and unique approach to bluegrass music.
By the time Carlile took the stage an hour late due to the famed technical difficulties the crowd warmly welcomed her and twins Phil and Tim Hanseroth. They rocked the crowd with a mix of country and rock, playing songs from her hit album Bear Creek, living up to Rolling Stone Magazines proclamation of Carlile as one of the top 10 artists to watch in 2005.
