Mountain reggae and gypsy-infused soul band Cole & the Thornes began with an infectious restlessness and a heart engraved with longing adventure. The band released its debut, Map Maker, last year. The album is a collection of songs filled with funky grooves, sultry vocals, and empowering lyrics that capture the true meaning of being in the now. The Thornes have performed throughout the state, playing with popular reggae bands HIRIE, Sol Seed, and TreeHouse. They’ve shut down the streets for Music on Main, jammed out the Brew Fest in Big Sky, and have performed at various music festivals including Butte’s Original Festival, Silver Cloud Campout, Harvest Fusion, Groovin’ On, and SLAM.
Helena’s 710 Ashbury are back with a Grateful Dead Tribute on Saturday, December 7th. The group will lay down all your classic Dead favorites at 8pm. Tickets to this 21+ show are $9 in advance and $12 at the door. Doors at 7pm.
The following Saturday sees a show by veteran Americana rockers Hooligans with special guest Bill Payne of Little Feat and the Doobie Brothers. The December 14th performance begins at 8pm. Tickets to this 21+ show are $11 in advance and $15 at the door. Doors at 7pm.
Formed in 1990, Hooligans are Bozeman’s longest running roots rock/Americana/blues/jam band. Hooligans are inspired by the improv-driven music of the San Francisco scene as well as early folk, blues, and great rock n’ roll. Prepare to hear tunes from the likes of Bob Marley, Muddy Waters, John Hiatt, Grateful Dead, Traffic, Bob Dylan, Hot Tuna, Van Morrison, and The Band, as well as a handful of originals. The Hooligans’ album Beggars & Thieves is available now.
