Bozemanites: get outta town with a trip to The Attic in Livingston, even if only for a night! The upstairs bar and performance venue is a must for dancers and live music lovers. Here’s a look at some of the upcoming acts to help get us through a particularly chilly late winter.
The Hooligans bring a show Friday, March 23rd at 8:30pm. Formed in 1990, Hooligans are Bozeman’s longest running roots rock/Americana/blues/jam band. Hooligans are inspired by the improv-driven music of the San Francisco scene as well as early folk, blues, and great rock n’ roll. Prepare to hear tunes from the likes of Bob Marley, Muddy Waters, John Hiatt, Grateful Dead, Traffic, Bob Dylan, Hot Tuna, Van Morrison, and The Band, as well as a handful of originals. The Hooligans’ album Beggars & Thieves is available now.
Austin-based Thom Shepherd performs with local help from Jim Devine on Friday, March 30th at 8pm. CMA of Texas Songwriter of the Year, Shepherd has spent the last few years traveling across the country, telling stories, and captivating audiences.
Shepherd, along with his Radio Margaritaville hit “Always Saturday Night,” are featured in the The Parrot Heads Documentary with Jimmy Buffett. He’s the writer of five #1 singles including “Redneck Yacht Club,” recorded by Craig Morgan, “Riding with Private Malone,” recorded by David Ball, and three Texas music number ones: Josh Abbott and Pat Green’s single, “My Texas,” Kevin Fowler’s “Beer Season,” and Kyle Park’s “The Night Is Young.”
