For those that still do not yet know Ava Earl or her music, may I introduce to you one of the gems of the Alaskan music scene. She began playing music at 5 (four years younger than I stated in my previous article), by 13 was performing at SalmonFest, having recorded her first album one year earlier at just 12 years old. Now 18, a recent graduate of South Anchorage High School, and soon to be headed off to college, she is releasing her fourth album, âThe Rosesâ, later this month.
This album has been a long time coming, in more ways than one. Not only has it been over a year since she and her family flew to Nashville for the recording session, but the idea for this album can trace its roots all the way back to 2017.Â
