Settle in with a slice, a Montana brew, and a seat! Red Tractor Pizza plays host to live music and other events throughout the week. Here’s a look at what’s coming up.
Grab a seat for Comedy Night on Wednesday, June 20th beginning at 7:30pm. High energy comedy, improvised storytelling, and short scenes will keep you good and entertained.

The show is all ages, so you can bring the whole family for some laughs.
Bridger Creek Boys return to their usual Thursday slot on June 21st 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 an additional performance to Red Tractor on June 28th at 7pm.
Latin fusion group BoZambique play for pizzeria patrons Saturday, June 23rd beginning at 7pm. The band performs percussive-centric melodies driven by world-infused rhythm and blues. They are a five-member band inspired by Afropop, Highlife, as well as Cuban and Brazilian song and dance. BoZambique is comprised of Loren Block (uke bass), Aaron Banfield (guitar), Matt Sloan (saxophone), Jelani Mahiri (percussion), and Doug Wales (congas).
The Dirt Farmers are set to perform on Sunday, June 24th 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.
Guitarist and vocalist Robert Lethert of The Innocents (formerly the Booze Hounds) will play a solo set on Monday, June 25th at 6:30pm. Expect to hear a blend of old school country and contemporary Americana. His strong gravely voice will perfectly compliment your evening at the quaint local pizza parlor.
Weston Lewis is set for Tuesday, June 26th at 7pm. Lewis currently plays in The Vibe Quartet, Cat’s Bananas, 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. He’s a former member of Bozeman band Cure for the Common.
Kelly Nicholson Band closes out another month of Red Tractor live music on Saturday, June 30th. The local rock and soul group is known to push its sound toward blues, folk, jam, electro, and reggae.
