"A high-end chef by trade, Anchorage's Carlyle Watt knows a thing or two about mixing ingredients for delicious results. Carlyle & the Sugar Strings are the perfect example: mouth-watering folk music spiced up with cello, fiddle, piano, foot-stomp and tambourine. Watt’s band, the Sugar Strings, comprises three sassy & sharp young ladies: Kathryn Moore (piano & percussion), Miriah Phelps (fiddle) and Theresa Taylor (cello). These remarkable instrumentalists elevate Watt’s classic country rasp to a thing of beauty. Our Alaskan neighbours always do it up right at DCMF - we look forward to having them at this year's Festival!"
