Eagles-hosted GOnG Show fundraiser follows midweek acoustics by Kristin Lundell, Kennedy Richards
Bozeman’s Eagles Bar invites downtown shoppers and strollers in from the early winter chill for a beverage-induced warm-up. The local watering hole features drink specials, Friday night BINGO and burgers, as well as regular live music by local musicians and visiting acts. Here’s a look at who’s playing at FOE in the coming weeks.
Country rockers BlueBelly Junction are first up on Friday and Saturday, November 1st and 2nd. The group provides audiences with what they consider “rockabilly music” all over the state of Montana. The high-energy band tends to veer away from slow jams, other than the occasional tune. With an arsenal of originals and personalized covers, the guys will keep you on your feet until last call.
Kristin Lundell follows on Wednesday, November 6th, at 8pm. The local singer/songwriter and guitarist performs catchy, melodic rock originals inspired by the likes of Veruca Salt, Juliana Hatfield, and The Beatles. She’ll also have the audience singing along as she puts her spit on hits that span the decades.
Close 2 Toast are back with a pair of performances, Friday and Saturday, November 8th and 9th. Formed from all the right elements found within the Gallatin Valley comes a band like no other, with songs to warm your heart, make you cry, and dance! Grab a drink and drag your partner out on the floor.
Kennedy Richards returns on Wednesday, November 13th, at 8pm. She’s been gigging since the age of sixteen, playing cafés, festivals, and radio shows spanning from Montana’s Pony Bar to breweries in Easthampton, Massachusetts, with influences spanning even further: Jack White, Captain Beefheart, James Booker, Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Chuck Berry, and more.
KneeJürk is back with the weekend ditties on Friday and Saturday, November 15th and 16th. The supersonic Southwest Montana duo incorporates the big band beat, performing the best toe tappin’ sing-alongs from the ‘60s to now.
Also on November 16th, join the Gallatin Ice Foundation and Bozeman Amateur Hockey Association for the 2nd Annual GOnG Show fundraiser upstairs in the Ballroom.
Your $35 ticket includes a catered buffet dinner, four complimentary beer tickets, live entertainment by BlueBelly Junction, entry to play Plinko and an interactive Heads or Tails game to win fun prizes! The event will also include a live auction and 50/50 raffle. Lottery tickets will be sold for an all-inclusive, build your own luxury vacation for two – worth $4000!
Theme for the evening is 70s-style GOnG Show. Advance tickets may be purchased at one.bidpal.net/gongshow/ticketing. Doors at 6pm and the party goes til midnight. Photo ID required for entry.
There’s no better Thirsty Thursday than one with Sunrise Karaoke, setting up at FOE every week at 9pm. Sing your heart out, cheer on your friends and maybe even do a dance number between songs!
Bridger Mountain Big Band performs regularly on Sundays from 7–9:30pm. The 17-piece jazz orchestra celebrates the music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and more, with original arrangements and music of all genres from the 1900s to today. Check them out on Facebook for performance announcements.
Eagles Bar live music begins at 9pm, unless otherwise noted. Head downtown to play a game of pool, listen to some great local bands, or stop in for a cold one any day of the week! The Eagles is located at 316 E Main. •
