The Bozeman Folklore Society is pleased to announce another co-sponsorship
with the City of Bozeman Parks and Recreation Department’s Pickin’ in the
Parks Concert Series, as a part of our long running concert series.
On Sunday, July 10. at 4:00 p.m. the sounds of hot jazzy western swing will
be cooling us all off in a wonderful swinging way as Hot Club of Cowtown
performs. The place to hear all the great music is the historic Story
Mansion, 811 South Willson Avenue. The plan is to present it outside on the
lawn, weather permitting. If it turns inclement, we’ll move inside. Tickets
are $15 in advance or $20 at the event. Ticket supply is limited, so you are
encouraged to get tickets ahead of time at the Beall Recreation Center, 415
N. Bozeman Ave., Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 4:30pm. Or call for more
information at 582-2290.
This celebrated national jazz and western swing group, features Elana James
on violin and vocals, Whit Smith on guitar and vocals, and Jake Erwin on
bass and vocals.
The group is based in Austin, TX, but recently Elana James has been spending
time in Bozeman – lucky us! The Hot Club has a reputation for jaw-dropping
virtuosity and unforgettable live shows, as you will remember if you saw
them at Sweet Pea in 2012. This will be a stellar afternoon of music! So
maybe you could plan to load up your blanket or lawn chairs and come on down
to the Story for some pickin’ in the park! You might even want to throw in
your dancing shoes.
Along with the Hot Club’s dedicated cult following worldwide – they have
toured for the U.S. State Department as musical ambassadors to Azerbaijan,
Armenia, the Republic of Georgia and the Sultanate of Oman – certain titans
of the industry have also taken notice. Bob Dylan, with whom the band toured
and with whom James has toured and recorded, is a continuing inspiration.
The Hot Club has opened several shows for Willie Nelson, toured with Nelson
and Dylan during a summer-long stadium tour, and recently opened seven
nights of Roxy Music’s sold-out “For Your Pleasure” U.K. stadium tour. In
the U.K. the Hot Club of Cowtown continues to tour extensively and has been
featured at the Glastonbury Festival and has also been a returning guest on
Later With Jools Holland, the Cambridge Folk Festival, and BBC Radio 2’s
Radcliffe and Maconie and Bob Harris Country shows.
