Bozeman Spirits hosts folksy jazz of Bay Area’s Hannah Cooper, among others

Handcrafted cocktails and fantastic acoustics – the primary ingredients for a successful happy hour! Bozeman Spirits Distillery hosts live music by great local artists every Tuesday from 5:30–8pm in their welcoming tasting room. Here’s a look at the upcoming acts.
The Road Agents are set for Tuesday, October 2nd. The band, composed of Jeff Peterson and Justin Ringsak, play acoustic rock n’ roll. They’re a guitar and mandolin duo people can groove to! Jeff and Justin will bring danceable, original songs about firewood, larceny, and resolve. Read The BoZone’s interview with the band on page 4C.
  Bay Area folk/jazz artist Hannah Cooper is next up on Tuesday, October 9th. The singer/songwriter creates a sound that defies categorization. With songs that embrace her years of jazz guitar and classical choral training, Cooper employs brave storytelling – delivered with theatrical flair – to engage and delight audiences. Her Minnesota feet first landed in Portland, Oregon, after riding the Amtrak “Empire Builder” out west in 2010. This Fall, her “Empire Builder” tour is a compilation of songs inspired by nearly a decade of living in the Pacific Northwest. These songs have captivated audiences with these deeply rooted experiences and lessons from her life. Grab a chair and prepare to be transported by stories layered in chords, textures and lyrics. Listeners who come expecting “just another” singer-songwriter will be simply blown away. Cooper’s 2017 EP, A Time For Truth, is available now.
Dan Henry follows on Tuesday, October 23rd. The Montana native is a singer/songwriter with a unique vocal style coupled with acoustic guitar and bluesy harmonica. He’s driven by a blues influence, but covers a wide range of music from folk and rock to reggae, and so much more.
Looking ahead, Colorado-based Jackson Emmer returns to Bozeman with a Bozeman Spirits performance on Tuesday, October 30th. Emmer’s lyrically playful and intimate Americana style is as gleeful as it is irreverent. Combining an authentic country spirit with an honest and modern perspective, he connects with listeners in the time-honored storytelling tradition. Emmer’s songwriting is often compared to that of John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, and Guy Clark. He’s performed hundreds of shows around the country, sharing the stage with Leon Bridges, The Suitcase Junket, and Gill Landry (Old Crow Medicine Show) and many others. Emmer makes a local stop during his national tour in support of his April release, Jukebox.
