Catch Cabin Fever, Close 2 Toast at Eagles Bar
Downtown Bozeman’s Fraternal Order of Eagles draws a diverse crowd. Most commonly known to locals as the Eagles Bar, this watering hole is popular to everyone from cowboys to ski bums to college kids. Not only a popular spot for the happy hour crowd, the Eagles hosts weekly live music and karaoke. Here’s a look at what’s coming up.
Country rockers Bluebelly Junction return with the danceable entertainment Friday and Saturday, March 16th–17th. The group provides audiences with what they consider “rockabilly music” all over the state of Montana. The high-energy band tends to veer away from slow jams, other than the occasional tune. With an arsenal of originals and personalized covers, the guys will keep you on your feet until last call.
Cabin Fever is set for Friday and Saturday, March 23rd–24th. From Manhattan, the band plays a combination of original music, ‘70s rock, and a wide variety of dance tunes from Dwight-style country to Pink Floyd. This five-piece-plus band showcases strong vocal harmonies and a wide variety of instrumentals. Members include Lonny Walker (rhythm guitar), Steve Loessberg (lead guitar), Larry Greenbaum (bass, lead guitar), Josh Fike (drums), Jon Gerhts (bass guitar), Ross Barrett (percussion), and Lane Quandt (harmonica).
Close 2 Toast closes out the month with a pair of performances, Friday and Saturday, March 30th–31st. Formed from all the right elements found within the Gallatin Valley comes a band like no other, with songs to warm your heart, make you cry, and dance! Grab a drink and drag your partner out on the floor.
Bridger Mountain Big Band performs regularly on Sundays from 7–9:30pm. The 17-piece jazz orchestra celebrates the music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and more, with original arrangements and music of all genres from the 1900s to today. Check them out on Facebook, @TheBridgerMountainBigBand, for performance announcements.
Always a blast, Sunrise Entertainment brings the fun of karaoke and DJ music every Thursday. Come sing your heart out and maybe even do a dance number between songs. Liquid confidence available upon request.
ALL Eagles Bar live music begins at 9pm, unless otherwise noted. Come play a game of pool, listen to some great local bands, or stop in for a cold one any day of the week! The Eagles is located at 316 E Main St., next to the Nova Café. For more information, call (406) 587-9996. •
