Original folk music with an Alaskan bite

With a deep love for all American traditional music, The Heists bring bluegrass drive, country emotion, and old time groove to their original Alaskan folk music.

The Heists are recording both an EP and LP in 2026. Follow along on social media as they build the pieces.

The Heists | “Seasons Turn” | Sometimes songs feel like messages from your unknown self. Erin quit her job to start her own business and play more music two months after writing "Seasons Turn".
