MAXimize trips to Chico with a night on the Saloon dance floor
With early winter storms signaling a season draped in white, soaks at Chico Hot Springs are becoming more and more desirable. The local getaway is also great for weekend escapes with live entertainment in the Saloon every Friday and Saturday night. Here’s a look at who’s headed to the Paradise Valley hot spot.
BlackWater Band bring the noise on Friday and Saturday, November 1st and 2nd. The rock n’ roll variety group will have you off your feet and on the dancefloor in no time, so order a drink at the bar and get that liquid motivation flowing! Note: Friday’s show doubles as Chico’s Halloween Party, so dress your best for the costume contest – all will be judged at 11pm to determine this year’s winner!
The MAX follows on Friday and Saturday, November 8th and 9th. The popular band has entertained and delighted audiences nationwide since the mid-80s, calling Montana home since 1993. With Kyle Brenner (guitar), Mike Young (drums), and Bobb Clanton (bass), The MAX plays spot-on renditions of a wide variety of choice danceable rock n’ roll covers and has two original albums, Shadows in the Shade and Vinyl Valentine. The MAX has opened for Styx, REO Speedwagon, and The Fabulous Thunderbirds.
Under the Bleachers rock the house Friday and Saturday, November 15th and 16th. The band consists of Scott Williams (guitar), Tim Borsberry (drums), and Chris Heisel (bass). They have an intensely diverse song list, a result of their diverse origins. Tim hails from Helena, Chris from Great Falls, and Scott is a transplant from Los Angeles. A look over the band’s song list will show they keep up with today’s hits – and have been playing yesterday’s since they were a ‘hit’ the first time!
Live Saloon music begins at 9pm. Chico Hot Springs is located in Pray, 20 miles south of Livingston. Come sip, soak, and swing! For more information, visit www.chicohotsprings.com. •
