Wednesday nights from 5:30–8pm, Bridger Brewing hosts Music & Mussels!

There is no cover charge for the music.
Enjoy a brew and a slice with a side of Cole & The Thornes on Wednesday, November 1st. The ukulele/guitar player’s music provides a happy, laid back environment with a hint of reggae and vocals that are soulful and bluesy. Come order a brew and enjoy the music!
The Waiting stop by Bridger on Wednesday, November 8th. Comprised of six musicians from various musical backgrounds, the band has come together to bring you Roadhouse-inspired rock ‘n’ roll and the music of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. The Waiting is Rick Winking (guitar), Levi Main (guitar, vocals), David Dyas (vocals, guitar), Pete Christensen (keys), Doc Wiley (bass), Jason Kechely (drums).
Enjoy the sounds of Chris Cunningham & Joe Knapp on Wednesday, November 15th.
Chris is a singer/songwriter who writes about family, travelers, snowplow drivers, spiritual growth, volcanoes, old flames, and the natural beauty of Montana. A member of the acoustic-folk duo Storyhill and a native of Bozeman, Chris has been making and releasing albums for 25 years, the most recent being the self-produced If You Knew All Along. He is also the owner of Basecamp Recording where he produces high quality and customized recordings for singers, songwriters, and bands.
Joe Knapp plays a variety of styles including Americana, rock ‘n’ roll, old time, and country music.
Looking ahead, Acony Belles return to the brewery on Wednesday, November 22nd. Based out of beautiful Bozeman, the Belles are an all female, estrogen-fueled musical trio. In a world of guy bands, these lovely ladies will melt your hearts and minds. The group is comprised of Betsy Wise (guitar), Chelsea Hunt (fiddle), and keeping the two of them in time is Jody Engstrom (stand-up bass). Acony Belles draw inspiration from luminaries like Gillian Welch, Patty Griffin, and the Wailin’ Jennys, while keeping in touch with the simple roots of blues, bluegrass, and Americana.
