Local music publicists Monolith Agency represents such artists as Emma Hill and Lavoy, but the group has also spent the past couple of years booking Alaska tours for bands from the Lower 48. Most of those bands have been of the rustic or roots-y variety, like the aforementioned Tumbledown House, The Devil Whale, Quiet Life, Black Carl, Truckstop Darlin’ and many others.

And continuing a tradition set a year ago, the agency is marking its second birthday with the second annual Monolith Showcase – two days of music at Tap Root featuring 11 acts. The showcase takes place Friday and Saturday, Sept. 14 and 15. Tickets for both days are $15, or you can purchase a $10 for one or the other.
