Wild Joe*s Coffee Spot in Downtown Bozeman is a great place for a caffeine fix, but it also doubles as a live music venue for local artists and those passing through our not-so-little mountain town. Here’s a look at what’s coming up.
Orange Julians, aka Julian DeFelice, stops in on Friday, April 13th from 6–8pm. DeFelice is a solo indie pop performer from Vermont. Hailed as “Vermont’s freshest electro-pop” by Seven Days newspaper, DeFelice recently moved to Montana. He combines pop, nostalgia, and indie rock into an intimate sonic experience. His albums Object and Option are available now.
Neil Filo Beddow is next up on Saturday, April 14th from 6–8pm. He plays original folk rock for the soul, and describes his guitar style as the “West Dakota stutter.” Beddow’s musical influences include Lucinda Williams, Ry Cooder, David Bromberg, Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. His lyrically scrambled iambic pentameter can be politically bent, spiritually seeking, tongue-in-cheek humorous with just a twist of serious. He’s released albums Ray of Light and Song & Peace with a band called Filo Productions, as well as a solo outing.
Looking ahead, Marcedes Carroll returns on Friday, April 27th from 6–8pm. The spunky and fun Gallatin Valley local brings a variety of flavor to her live shows, performing tunes ranging from Turnpike Troubadours to Ella Fitzgerald to Led Zeppelin, along with plenty of originals you just have to hear!
Marcedes has been pursuing music since early youth. At the age of 8, singing “My Heart Will Go On” into her parents’ flashlight in a debonair black sequin dress with the camera rolling was just the beginning. In an effort to hone her craft, Marcedes has studied and practiced music using a combination of professional training and self-teaching. She’s worked with local radio program and live music venue Live From the Divide, and has spent a decent amount of time performing with local band Drink Me Pretty. Marcedes is currently pursuing a career as an independent singer/songwriter.
