The Kountry Korner Cafe in Four Corners features live music throughout the month. Here’s a look at upcoming event dates. The Cafe’s Sunday shows are back in full swing with a number of exciting upcoming performances. Vocalist and guitarist Rob Lethert of the Innocents will take the stage on Sunday, June 5th at 5:30pm. Tim Fast will perform his original acoustic folk on Sunday, June 12th at 5:30pm. From Minnesota, Tim’s an award winning national touring finger style guitar picking, harmonica bending, singer/songwriter who has toured most of the U.S. Hints of blues and country come through his music.
Rich Mayo performs every Tuesday in June at 6pm. Upcoming dates include the 7th & 14th. A multi-instrumentalist, Mayo plays the guitar, harp and vocals. He plays an Americana mix you’re sure to enjoy, and his wife, Tanna, adds a flute and lovely female voice. Claudia Williams of Montana Rose plays solo sets on Fridays at 5:30pm throughout June. Upcoming dates include the 10th and 17th. Williams isn’t just a singer–she’s a sorceress, creating phrasing and emphasis for each song she writes. Her solo set will include Americana and folk music.
Local pianist Bob Britten will bring his talents to the Kountry Korner on Saturday, June 4th at 5:30pm. Britten studied piano and guitar as a youth growing up in New Jersey, but it was the guitar that brought him to Montana. He studied classical guitar and attended Christopher Parkening’s master classes at Montana State University in 1981 and 1982. He played guitar and piano in various bands in Billings including the Gentlemen of Jazz and solo piano nightly at the Cellar 301 for several years. Pianist Stefan Stern steps in on Saturdays, June 11th & 18th at 5:30 pm. Though he is the Music Director for Montana Ballet Company, he does not exclusively play classical. This multi-faceted musician does freelance work as a jazz, classical, and rock pianist, and leads the local band “Lester Rocks”. He has been featured twice on Eric Funk’s Emmy Award winning show, 11th and Grant, in the Spring of 2013 as a solo classical pianist and in the Fall of 2013 with the band “Tumbledown House.” Additionally, Stern has played with the Bozeman Symphony, the Glenn Johnston Swing Band, the Bridger Mountain Big Band, Jeni Flemming, and Montana Ballet Company, among others.
