At Red Tractor Pizza, Bridger Creek Boys return to Thurs. May 23 at 7pm
Be it a first date, working dinner or family meal, you can never go wrong with pizza – no matter how ya slice it! Complementing its handcrafted pies and wide selection of regional brews, Red Tractor Pizza also plays host to independent musicians and other events throughout the week. Here’s a look at what’s coming up.
Bridger Creek Boys return to their usual Thursday slot on May 23 at 7pm. The Boys are an acoustic bluegrass quartet steeped in old-time tradition, while also pushing the genre with newgrass. The band blends originals with covers of traditional bluegrass and more contemporary artists. Their style is confident, complex, and full of improvisation that will draw you in and get you shaking all over with bluegrass joy. Bridger Creek Boys will bring additional performances to Red Tractor on May 23rd and 30th at 7pm.
Red Tractor hosts the John Swendseid Group on Saturday, May 25th at 6:30pm. The night of groovy jazz fusion is another fantastic opportunity to enjoy some good ole pizza n’ beer among family and friends.
The Dirt Farmers bring a Sunday show on May 26th at 6pm. They’re a foot-stomping string band who have dubbed their musical style “paisley grass.” They’ve gained a following for their fun-loving mix of old school country, bluegrass, blues and rock – with the occasional slip into hip-hop. The band members, as unique as their song list, serve it all up with a smile on mandolin, banjo, guitar, fiddle and bass with vocal harmonies. The Dirt Farmers invite you to be “Having a Good Time” and experience the flavor and fun of Montana life.
Music Monday sees the talents of Grace Slayden on May 27th beginning at 6:30pm. Come check out the acoustics and show her some love!
Tuesday, April 28th will feature Weston Lewis at 7pm. Lewis plays with a number of local bands, solo performances, and as a sit-in lead guitarist for artists including The Andrew Hand Band, John Sherrill, The Electric Sunday, Lang Termes, Mathias, and MOTH. His solo sets are comprised mostly of acoustic rock covers and some of his original songs. In band settings, he likes to play funk, jazz, country and more.
And on Saturday, June 1st, PermaFunk entertains at 7pm. The Bozeman-based group makes music to keep bodies moving and souls grooving! Expect plenty of funky, soulful, psychedelic, and Latin-infused grooves. The band is inspired by the creativity and passion of the 1970s and everyone who participates in the PermaFunk experiment.
