Local brewery staple and Bozeman favorite Bridger Brewing is your source for the very best of Montana craft beers and daily gourmet food specials and artisan pizza. They also host Mussels & Music every Wednesday and {Pints with Purpose} every monday. Wednesday nights from 5:30 to 8pm, Bridger Brewing hosts Mussels & Music! Come enjoy some live music and over a half pound of succulent P.E.I. mussels with house-made sweet Italian sausage, tomatoes, garlic, and chili flakes, topped with parsley and tomato salsa. There is no cover charge for the music. November 18th will see Chris Cunningham and friends. A singer-songwrigter and multi-instrumentalist, Chris is half of the well-known folk duo Storyhill. He is also the owner and producer of Bozeman-based Basecamp Recording Studio. Jesse Atkins will provide musical entertainment on November 25th. Jesse is a native Montanan singer/songwriter continuing the tradition of great american troubadours. His proficient finger and flatpicking styles immediately bring to mind such players as: Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Keller Williams and Dave Matthews. Growing up as a self-taught musician, Jess’ lyrics and compositions hide his young age, sounding more like some one who’s been at it for 45 years. Pulling subjects out of thin air, his songs reflect melodies and interpretations of subject we all think about, but can’t articulate. Along with his self-penned compositions, he easily blends in timeless classics that paved the way for acoustic singer/songwriters. His adept versions of songs like Danny O’Keefe’s “Good Time Charlie’s Got the Blues”, Santo and Johnny’s “Sleepwalk” and other blues and country classics, make you feel like he wrote them himself. A stunning instrumentalist and a true showman, Jess Atkins is a must see for any music enthusiast. 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.
