Brock Zeman set for Wild Joe*s shows
The next Open Mic Night is set for Saturday, October 21st from 6–8pm. There is a $3 entry fee for this event. Come for an evening of music performed by local musicians. Bring your guitar, sitar, zither, poetry, comedy, or theremin and take a turn up at the mic. Show Bozeman what you’re made of! Individual set lengths depend on the number of musicians who want to play. Sign-ups start at 5:30pm — first come, first served. Be sure to bring your friends and support live music in Bozeman! A modest contribution to the kitty will be divided by participating musicians at the end of the night. The more people who come, the more money in the pot.
Check out Brock Zeman on Thursday, October 26th from 6–8pm. The Ottawa area singer/songwriter has built a reputation as a writer of great depth and passion, through his thoughtful, often personal songs. But he’s got a rough, rockin’ side as well. Joined on relentless tours across Western Canada, all the way down to Texas and back by his ever present collaborator, Blair Hogan, and often drummer Dylan Roberts, Zeman and crew can put on a powerful show that has attendees rocking as much as feeling the stories he tells in song. He could easily be the bastard son of Lucinda Williams and Steve Earle, with a gravelly Tom Waits voice. His twelfth album, The Carnival Is Back in Town, released in January.
Lazy Suzy closes out the month with a show on Friday, October 27th from 6–8pm. The band is a conglomeration of different styles, ranging from the formal music education of bassist Brenden Fox to the raw expressions of self-taught drummer Evan Lerum. Guitarist Kyle Allemeier brings a love of genres spanning metal to jazz, complimented by the smooth bluegrass-inspired stylings of electric baritone mandolin player Alex Skowron. The resultant sound blends to a cohesive whole dubbed “groove rock,” describing the band’s shared belief they’re just here to make people dance.
