Bridger’s Music & Mussels with Americana of Brice Ash
Bridger Brewing is already collecting raves for its bold NEW menu featuring a zesty selection of seasonally appropriate pizzas, including the mango-habanero ‘Luchador’ and pesto-based ‘Heart Beet.’ But aside from its award-winning pies and delectable suds, the south-side brewer also hosts 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 with house-made sweet Italian sausage, tomatoes, garlic, and chili flakes, topped with parsley and tomato salsa.
Brice Ash & Friends entertain on Wednesday, July 10th. The local singer/songwriter’s debut solo album, The Chariot, carries with it the hopeful hurt, raw honesty, and stirring stories that fans of his rough-hewn songwork have come to expect. Ranging from the heart-wrenching piano/cello duet, “Joe’s Final Bow,” to the gritty roots rocker “Has-Been Man,” the record brims with humanity – brash cowgirls, broken old men, homeless saviors, and high school nerds. Their stories are woven together in an Americana soundscape as Ash explores the corners and alleys of the human condition. Bozeman’s slower pace and breathtaking surroundings continue to nourish Ash’s creativity.
Also this summer, enjoy a solo acoustic show on the patio by Joe Knapp of SlomoJoe on Tuesdays from 5–7pm. Brew-lovers will be treated to a variety of styles including Americana, rock n’ roll, old time and country music. These outdoor sets are weather-dependent and subject to change.
Bridger Brewing also plays host {Pints with Purpose} every Monday night from 5–8pm where $1 of every pint sold will be donated to a featured local nonprofit. Here’s a look at some of the nonprofits on the calendar in the coming weeks. Head over to enjoy a house-brewed pint and be charitable in the process!
