August 24 – Russ Chapman, 6:30 – 8pm, East Lawn, Bozeman Public Library
Original music from songwriter Russ Chapman. Smart, spontaneous and slyly sentimental, Russ draws from the deep well of Americana- blending early swing, pre-war blues and New Orleans swamp music. Combined with a deep sense of lyrical wit, and a convincing “mouth trumpet,” be prepared for a highly-entertaining evening. www.russchapman.com.
