Reverend-Justin-Hylton
Quantum Split, Joseph Hein & more at Wild Joe*s
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.
Reverend Justin Hylton is set for Thursday, July 6th from 6–8pm. The Georgia native has toured the nation with his songs of relatable tales of life experiences. Heartbreak, addiction, traveling and having a good time are the substance of his melodic musical, lyrical and vocal writings. From the stage to the crowd, a real performance is heard. Real words, sung by a real man, with real meaning make for an authentic time shared by both performer and crowd. Justin finds new influences every day by listening to music and getting deep into the lyrics and feelings behind different songs. He’s always looking for something new and feels the creative undertone of the music he hears. Anyone who can express themselves in their own way is the cornerstone of his influence.
Get acquainted with Quantum Split on Friday, July 7th from 6–8pm. Through creating a lane of their own, this fresh and groundbreaking rock and soul band showcases musical influence that all music lovers from any genre would appreciate. Quantum Split offers listeners music that sheds light on a variety of topics they can relate to. Gain your independence! Create your own imprint! Let no one give you YOUR identity! Quantum Split brings you an exhilarating and meaningful experience.
Joseph Hein & Dane Thompsen stop by on Friday, July 14th from 6–8pm. With lush arrangements and warm distortion, the Washington State native creates dreamy harmonious sounds with an energetic uptempo rhythm influenced by songs of yesteryear’s AM country and R&B gold. He is often accompanied by an array of instruments including a trombone, a violin, keyboards and guitars that add to the band’s distinct style. Hein sings honestly about good times and the bad, the music bearing witness to the road unkempt and a winding trail. His latest album, Am Gold, was released in 2016.
The next Open Mic Night is set for Saturday, July 15th 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.
