She's With Me Mandy King - Katy Rexford- Melissa Mitchell - Angela Oudean She’s With Me was born out of a deep desire to create music with powerful women – music that tells a story, lifts you up, and makes you feel something transcendent. Whether we are playing in a festival, a family BBQ, or sharing songs in a rural Alaskan village, we bring a unique style to every song. Each member of the band has been working at our craft for more than two decades. Together, we know our impact is stronger. Driven by a passion to make quality music that resonates and heals, we know and have experienced the impact music can have on an individual and a community.

Rock the Hill is more than a music festival; it’s a celebration of the art, culture, and outdoor adventures that make Anchorage unique. Back for a third year after an amazing 2025, Rock the Hill brings you two days of live music, local craft food & beer, vendors, art, workshops, and the wilderness oasis of Hilltop. Dance up front, cruise down on your mountain bike, or practice yoga on the slopes. With this Alaska-grown festival lineup, you’ll experience sights and sounds as diverse and dynamic as the surrounding Chugach mountains.
