Alaskas music scene

Been up in Alaska for a bit, not my hometown.
Pushing through my 30s as a pro musician.
Had kinda low hopes setting up shop here, kicking off a band, but damn, it's way more of a letdown than I ever pictured.
Where are the serious players up for crafting some modern tunes, steering clear of the cover band scene? Holy crap, it's just too dull around here.
