Pierce Brothers Unveil Energetic New Track ‘Alaska Alaska’

H2: The Latest Single from Pierce Brothers

The latest release from the Pierce Brothers showcases their distinct folk sound, deeply rooted in real-life experiences. Influences from legends like Bob Dylan and Eddie Vedder shine through, featuring captivating acoustics, soaring vocal harmonies, and a lively harmonica solo that’s sure to get listeners tapping their feet.

H3: Touring Plans and Collaboration

In collaboration with Phil Threlfal, a longstanding partner, the single was self-produced. Alongside the new music, they recently announced tour dates that will bring them back to Australia next month, with additional UK and European performances lined up for early 2026.

H3: A Personal Touch in “Alaska Alaska”

Jack, one-half of the duo, describes the song as a powerful, syncable track that embodies the essence of expansive folk music. At its heart lies a love story. “Alaska Alaska” reflects a time when Jack’s wife ventured through Alaska during a pivotal moment in their decade-long relationship. Remarkably, this song is set to release on his wife’s birthday, celebrating five years of marriage and two wonderful children.

Jack elaborates, “This is a love story about longing, exploring the desire for your partner’s peace, even if it means losing them. It captures the struggle of wishing the best for someone while also yearning for their return.”

H3: From Busking to Chart-Topping Success

The single marks a follow-up to the Pierce Brothers’ recent song, “Losing Friends When You’re Older.” It represents their first new entry since the 2024 album **Everything Is Bigger Than Me**, which impressively debuted at No. 1 in Australia. Their journey from street buskers in Melbourne to major artists has seen them achieve two top 15 ARIA albums, share stages with stars like James Blunt and Tash Sultana, and perform at renowned events such as Bluesfest Byron Bay.

H3: Crafting “Alaska Alaska”

Jack expresses satisfaction with how “Alaska Alaska” turned out, noting, “We experimented with various approaches to the song, but ultimately, we returned to its core essence, as we fell in love with the simplicity of the melody and the narrative it conveys.”

H3: Upcoming Performances

Fans can look forward to live renditions of “Alaska Alaska” along with their recent hits during upcoming Australian shows at Lake Tyers Beach, the Wanderer Festival, and The Entertainment Grounds in Gosford. They are also gearing up for an eagerly awaited UK and European tour in 2026.
