Popular instrumental duo brings album release show to Story Mansion
Local music supporters are invited to enjoy Bozeman’s own Chelsea Hunt and Jim Averitt as they commemorate the release of their new duo album, Music in My Coffee, with a live performance at the historic Story Mansion. The celebratory concert will take place Saturday, September 21st with special guest Kali Armstrong opening the show at 7:30pm.
Hunt and Averitt are a musically diverse and dynamic vocal, acoustic guitar and violin duo drawing from jazz, Americana, singer-songwriter, and blues influences. Music in My Coffee features vibrant and creative original instrumental tunes. The guitar and violin music is both carefully crafted and freely improvisational and is at times playful, poignant, melancholy, and joyful.
Hunt has been gracing the stages of Bozeman venues with her sweet melodic musical presence for years, as a member of Acony Belles and other local projects. Averitt has shared the stage and studio with many notable artists including Jackson Browne, Joe Cocker, Joe Walsh, Pat Benatar, Toto, Les McCann, Tom Rush, David Wilcox, Rambling Jack Elliott, Jim Messina, Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins. He’s also co-written several tunes with Jim Messina, Kostas, Jane Fonda and Ted Turner. Averitt’s music has been featured on HBO and 20/20, as well as many additional documentaries.
