Fall sees longer nights at Norris Hot Springs
Late October brings shorter days and longer nights, as well as a desire to find comfort, connection, and warmth in our lives. The holiday season will soon be upon us and thoughts turn to traditional wintry activities. Norris Hot Springs offers a unique opportunity to soak in healing and soothing hot water after a day of hiking, cross-country skiing, or even shopping. Norris’ No LOosE DoGs Saloon serves hot soups and delicious specials perfect for those cold early winter nights using their fabulous garden grown-greens, garlic, tomatoes, carrots, and so much more. The garden’s bounty was picked at its peak and preserved for use to get all of us through the winter with delicious organic offerings.
While enjoying a soak, a hot meal and a libation, why not check out some of the live music offerings Norris presents every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 7pm? Many venues shut down outside music in the fall and winter — not Norris Hot Springs! Where else can you soak in the Water of the Gods while enjoying great food, drink, and the best in regional acoustic music in a historic wooden pool?
Mathias rounds out the weekend on Sunday, October 22nd. The Bozeman-based singer/songwriter has been playing music under the big sky for nearly two decades. With powerful vocals and a percussive guitar style, he’s known for his dynamic live performances full of acoustic folk, rock, and funk tunes. Mathias recorded his debut album, Walk Alone, with the help of Emmy Award-winning producer Jeremiah Slovarp.
The final weekend of the month won’t be too scary at Norris. On Friday, October 27th, Shea Stewart takes the stage. Bozeman’s own performs a distinctive blend of “stripped-down” acoustic blues and Americana. His soundtrack to the beauty of the hot springs and wetland go perfectly hand in hand. Shea always gets a great crowd.

Aaron Williams winds up the month on Sunday, October 29th. From rock/reggae band In Walks Bud, Aaron will be playing a variety of tunes including rock, folk, and reggae. He’s a real favorite at Norris.
