Bridger Brewing has a draft to match every one of the fall colors this season. The gathering spot for students, professionals and families is also now open a half hour earlier – 11am daily! A few Jurassic Slices and (*whispers*) a brew will surely provide the fuel needed to finish out the day. Also this month, Bridger continues to host Music & Mussels every Wednesday and {Pints with Purpose} on Mondays. Here’s a look at some of the upcoming acts and nonprofits.
Wednesday nights from 5:30–8pm, Bridger Brewing hosts Music & Mussels! Enjoy some live music and succulent, steamed mussels while sipping on your favorite flavor.
Vibe Quartet is back at the brewery on October 23rd. The improv quartet fuses a variety of instrumental music ranging from jazz standards to original funk numbers and instrumental popular tunes. The group is a Bozeman area favorite and is not to be missed!
Petty tribute The Waiting will entertain brewery-goers on October 30th. The Bozeman-based roadhouse rock n’ roll band celebrates the music of Tom Petty. Not exactly a “cover” or “tribute” band, they’re, in the spirit of The Heartbreakers, first and foremost a BAND: a motley mix of musicians and friends interpreting the songs of one of rock’s greatest legends.
The band’s motto is “We bring the Petty to your town,” and since 2013 they’ve been doing exactly that all across the Treasure State. Whether it’s one of Tom Petty’s smash hits with the Heartbreakers, a sampling from his solo albums, or even a collaboration with the Traveling Wilburys, The Waiting runs the gamut, performing each tune with undeniable, fiery live energy and a devotion to showing each person in the crowd a damn good time.
Please note: live music by Christy Hays and Tony Polecastro on October 16th has been canceled.
Bridger Brewing also plays host {Pints with Purpose} every Monday night from 5–8pm where a dollar of every pint sold is donated to a featured local nonprofit. Here’s a look at who’s on the calendar in the coming weeks. Head in to enjoy a house-brewed pint and be charitable in the process!
Proceeds from October 21st will benefit KGLT. The listener-supported radio station, headquartered on the MSU campus, shares music chosen by its live DJs and information that is supportive and educational to the communities it serves. Learn more and stream at www.kglt.net.
