Pamyua, formed in April 1995 by brothers Phillip and Stephen Blanchett, emerged from a unique fusion of Inuit drum and dance melodies with R&B vocal styles and arrangements. This innovative concept sparked their journey, and the duo quickly began performing across Alaska while collaborating with like-minded artists.
By the end of 1995, Ossie Kairaiuak joined the group permanently, followed by Karina Moeller in the spring of 1996. Today, this dynamic quartet works with world-class musicians from both Alaska and Denmark, traveling globally to share their one-of-a-kind blend of cultural harmony.
Pamyua’s performances celebrate Inuit culture through a powerful combination of music and dance, using the stage as a platform to share indigenous knowledge and history. Their style reimagines traditional Inuit melodies with contemporary vocalizations and instrumentation, often described as “Inuit Soul Music.” In this way, Pamyua has carved out its own distinct genre.
The band members take great pride in representing Indigenous culture, believing that music and dance can foster unity. Through their work, they expertly interpret Inuit traditions with joy and authenticity, creating a powerful connection with their audiences. Their performances have become a source of pride for Alaska’s indigenous people and resonate deeply with all who experience them.
Pamyua’s shows honor indigenous traditions, blending ceremony, song, and dance to preserve and share the rich cultural heritage of the Inuit people.

The word “live” in the movie title is a bit of a red herring when it comes to Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii, since the only audience in the oldest surviving Roman amphitheater in the world is the film’s crew. But it’s also what makes it all so entrancing. Seeing Floyd bookend a set of late-Sixties space-rock triumphs like “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun” and enfant terrible gong-banging freak-outs with Meddle’s “Echoes” – while watching it all seem to evanesce into the air, amidst the weeds, ancient sculptures and molten lava of Pompeii (with an assist from a barking dog) – seems like the perfect setting for the group. With the addition of some trippy camera effects and studio footage of the group making Dark Side of the Moon, Pompeii became the ultimate document of psych-rock’s transition into prog. —Rolling Stone
Co-presented with Next Chapter Records
This 45-minute documentary captures the final chapter of the Bills family’s beloved 86-year-old sawmill in Wardsboro, Vermont. Filmmaker Theresa Maggio follows octogenarian brothers Alan and Everett Bills, along with their niece and co-owner Debbie Bills Bauer, as they say goodbye to the mill their father, Melbourne Bills, built in 1936.
With warmth, humor, and resilience, Alan and Everett recount stories of growing up on “Bills Hill”—tales of fire, flood, and family life in rural Vermont. Filmed during the summer and fall of 2023, the documentary chronicles the mill’s demolition, the end of an era, and the spirit that lives on through the Bills family.
Already drawing sold-out crowds across the West River Valley, the film has touched hearts and sparked memories. Audience members have called it a “gift,” praising its emotional depth and historical importance.
Join us for a screening and Q&A with Alan and Everett—two local legends whose stories will stay with you long after the credits roll.

When a young grad student discovers that Leonardo da Vinci and his collaborator, magician and mathematician Luca Pacioli, invented a time machine, she is zapped back to the Renaissance. It’s up to her to decode their notes and solve a 15th-century mystery so that she can return to the present.
