Downtown Bozeman’s Eagles Bar is home to entertainment aplenty this summer. The seasoned watering hole features drink specials, Friday night BINGO and burgers, regular live music by local musicians, and Ballroom shows featuring visiting acts. Here’s a look at who’s playing at FOE in the coming weeks.
Country rockers BlueBelly Junction take the stage Friday and Saturday, August 23rd and 24th. 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.
More midweek tunes come courtesy of Mathias on Wednesday, August 28th at 8pm. The Bozeman-based singer/songwriter has been playing music under the big sky for nearly two decades. With powerful vocals and a percussive guitar style, he’s known for his dynamic live performances full of acoustic folk, rock, and funk tunes. Mathias recorded his debut album, Walk Alone, with the help of Emmy Award-winning producer Jeremiah Slovarp.
On Friday and Saturday, August 30th and 31st, Poison Lovers will have folks out acting a fool on the floor. The Bozeman-based honky tonk country rock band is comprised of Rob Lethert (guitar, harmonica), Josh Heins (lead guitar), Bill Scott (bass) and Travis Johnston (drums). Remember your dancing shoes!
Also on Aug. 30th, Canadian psychobilly heavyweights Gutter Demons will front a Ballroom show. Known for their intense stage presence and raucous rock n’ roll, the Demons will bring along their red-blooded rockabilly roots, punk and heavy metal found throughout their catalog. Their most recent release, No God, No Ghost, No Saints, is available now. The music kicks off with local help from the Lucitones and Death Trophy at 8pm. The evening will also feature an art show showcasing local artists. Admission to this 21+ event is $10.
Always a blast, Sunrise Karaoke sets up every Thursday night 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, next to the Nova Café. •
