There is no cover charge for the music. Wandering Wild will bring their indie folk rock to the Brewery on December 21st. Fronted by singer/songwriter Micah Swanson (acoustic rhythm guitar, vocals), Wandering Wild is a unique blend of acoustic and electric sounds. The group was formed in and around the Haufbrau Open Mic scene in Bozeman. The band performs a combination of original and cover songs from a diverse range of genres, bringing their own taste to each song they perform. Weston Lewis (electric guitar), originally from Gardiner, MT has been playing and singing for over ten years. He grew up with guitars laying around the house and The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix on the stereo. Weston adds an electric psychedelic element to Wandering Wild’s distinctly acoustic sound. Meesh Metcalf (fiddle, harmony vocals) and Weston build off each others’ solos and their contrary, but complimentary sounds. Meesh is a fifth-generation Montanan and started playing at four years old. She has studied bluegrass, Texas-style, and classical violin, and presents a blend of elements from within each genre. Haley Ford (bass fiddle) grew up in Anchorage, AK, and first started playing the standup bass in a symphony, but at fourteen joined a jazz band and fell in love. Haley’s unique background and experience are dynamic to the unity of the group. Dean Wakerlin (drums/harmony vocals) started playing at four years old in Downers Grove, Ill. He has been a huge part of the Bozeman music scene and one of the favorite hosts of the legendary Open Mic at the Haufbrau.
Bridger’s {Pints with Purpose} helps the Brewery stand out from all the rest by supporting a local nonprofit each Monday. During these fun and charitable evenings, $1 of every pint sold between the hours of 5pm and 8pm will be donated to the featured organization. Proceeds from December 19th will benefit Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies.
