Pickin’ in the Park pairs Pacific Northwest duo at Story Mansion
On Saturday, November 2nd, the Bozeman Folklore Society once again joins forces with Bozeman Parks and Recreation to present a unique and entertaining showcase of live music in the historic Story Mansion as part of its “Pickin’ in the Park” music series at 7:30pm. The evening will feature the authentic country and old-time sounds of the Pacific Northwest duo of Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms.
Doors will open at 7pm, with the show to follow. Advance tickets are $18 and available at Cactus Records or www.cactusrecords.net. Any remaining tickets will be available for $22 at the door. Seating is limited and these tickets go quickly, so purchase early! The Story Mansion is located at 811 S Willson Ave.
Reeb Willms and Caleb Klauder form a vocally driven duo that has been playing and singing together since 2008, performing professionally across Europe, Scandinavia, Australia and North America.
Weaving together powerful harmonies, these two voices are backed by Caleb’s distinct and lyrical mandolin and fiddle playing, and Reeb’s unwavering guitar playing. Caleb and Reeb perform timeless original songs, as well as their favorite gems from old time and country repertoire.
Caleb Klauder has been representing the best of the Northwest music scene for years, and his music has inspired many people across the globe. He has been touring nationally and internationally for over 20 years. He first toured with acclaimed folk-rock band Calobo, a luminary in the Northwest’s burgeoning 90s music scene. He then led his own band, the Caleb Klauder Band, beginning in 2000, a venue for his original and timeless songs. He is also a founding member of the widely celebrated Foghorn Stringband, with whom he still tours regularly.
Reeb Willms was born and raised on a wheat farm outside of Waterville, on the high desert plateau of Central Washington. Her early music exposure was to her dad and uncles singing old country songs. She has recorded with the Foghorn Stringband, the Caleb Klauder Band, and also with Caleb Klauder as a duo. Her clear melodic distinctly country talent for singing is a perfect fit with Klauder’s natural and authentic style.
