Infinity Divinity
Performer/Vocals
One part grit, one part glitter, a dash of brash, and whole lot of heart is brought to every stage she encounters. Stumbling upon acting and clowning in college, she revels in the magic that happens between an audience and the performer. Joining the troupe for her debut burlesque performance in 2017, she is eternally grateful for the opportunity to learn, play, and grow from the talent surrounding her. It takes a village to make a burlesque show happen in remote Alaska & Canada, and her friends, family and community have helped her every step of the way! And if loving a stage is a guilty pleasure - she is guilty as charged!
Megan Moonshine

Jacob plays several instruments, but the drums have occupied most of his attention for many years. As with every Alaskan band on his resume, Jacob began playing with Nude & Rude as a stand-in. As it turns out, he's a stand-up guy with impeccable timing. Sean says he's practically a metronome! This will be his first full tour with N&R, and he couldn't be more pleased to share the stage, and the adventure, with this talented troupe. He has appeared on drums in Seattle with the Willow Collective; in Haines, AK with the God Particles & Funky Butt; and in Skagway, AK with the Quaintrelles, Airport Strangers, & Pandaconda. Occasionally, he performs spoken word as AllHailAutoPilot.

Sean has called Skagway home for the past four years, playing bass and singing in projects Brother Brother Friend, Full-Time Foragers, and New Twin. He’s played with the Better Than Boobs Band since 2017 and he’s extremely excited to be a part of a wonderful collaboration with a bunch of talented folks! Sean rarely wears hats, but usually wears pants.
Colton, aka Coltron, aka Coltoroni
Rotating Saxophone
Coltron is from Juneau! He grew up loving music so much he went and got a degree to be a music teacher! Later, he discovered he didn’t really want to do that at all, and is now figuring out what he actually wants to do besides hang out with whales. In the meantime, you can find him playing music with a variety of groups in Juneau on woodwinds, or climbing mountains. Hope you enjoy the show!
