The Kountry Korner Cafe in Four Corners features live music throughout the month. Here’s a look at upcoming event dates. Check out a Sunday show with a number of exciting upcoming performances!
Shelly Bessler & Tony Polecastro will return for a performance on August 21st at 5:30pm. Wade Montgomery will follow, August 28th at 5:30pm. Wade’s music—part country and part folk—is permeated with honesty and candidly speaks to the American experience with the directness that only comes from a songwriter who has lived, first-hand, everything he writes, including his life growing up on the reservation. Get ready for a great evening of original music and lots of fun! Rich Mayo performs every Tuesday in August at 6pm. Upcoming dates include the 16th, 23rd, and 30th. 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 August. Upcoming dates include the 19th and 26th. 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 Saturdays, August 20th and 27th at 5:30pm each evening. 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.
