John Roberts y Pan Blanco is an original-sounding ensemble of energetic musicians that inspires the audience to dance and enjoy life! Many years of national and international touring, recording and performing experiences with funk, soul, salsa, orchestral, West African and jazz ensembles have led to this project. With vocals in Spanish, English and Portuguese, this group is melding high-energy funk and African and Latin grooves with soulful instrumental solos, aimed at sharing musical and cultural diversity with the audience.

“Feels like dinner theater. Sounds like a house concert. Looks like improv comedy.”
Three songwriters will be featured on stage, sharing songs and stories as they draw inspiration from one another. Toronto artist Barbra Lica, Alaska’s Braden Rollins of the Blackwater Railroad Company, and Talkeetna’s own local legend, Steve Durr, will be gracing the Hangar stage.
