Pizza night at Red Tractor – topped with live music, of course!
Pizza night done right! Complementing its handcrafted pies and wide selection of regional brews, Red Tractor Pizza plays host to independent musicians and other events throughout the week. Here’s a look at what’s coming up.
Bridger Creek Boys return to their usual Thursday slot on February 21st at 7pm. The Boys are an acoustic bluegrass quartet steeped in old-time tradition, while also pushing the genre with newgrass. The band blends originals with covers of traditional bluegrass and more contemporary artists. Their style is confident, complex, and full of improvisation that will draw you in and get you shaking all over with bluegrass joy. Bridger Creek Boys will bring additional performances to Red Tractor on February 28th and March 7th at 7pm.
On February 22nd, Jazz Night takes over Red Tractor, as it does every Friday, at 7pm. Curated by guitarist and composer Alex Robilotta, these evenings feature the music styles of jazz, funk, latin, and more. Come out, get ready to groove, and hear America’s only original art form as it exists and evolves in the 21st century. Additional Jazz Nights are set for March 1st and 8th at 7pm.
The Dirt Farmers bring a Sunday show on February 24th at 6pm. They’re a foot-stomping string band who have dubbed their musical style “paisley grass.” They’ve gained a following for their fun-loving mix of old school country, bluegrass, blues and rock – with the occasional slip into hip-hop. The band members, as unique as their song list, serve it all up with a smile on mandolin, banjo, guitar, fiddle and bass with vocal harmonies. The Dirt Farmers invite you to be “Having a Good Time” and experience the flavor and fun of Montana life.
Ashley Ross
Ashley Ross is back on Monday, February 25th at 6:30pm. She’s a Montana-born folk musician dedicated to inspiring and encouraging people through heartfelt original lyrics. She grew up in Bozeman, and has always loved being outdoors. She receives much of her inspiration and “creative juices” from being out in God’s creation. Ross writes her songs based on personal experience and the stories of people around her. While she enjoys performing, she hopes that the message of her songs reaches beyond just one night and can touch those that hear them with truth, Jesus’ love, and with hope.
Weston Lewis performs on Tuesday, February 26th at 7pm. Lewis plays with a number of local bands, solo performances, and as a sit-in lead guitarist for artists including The Andrew Hand Band, John Sherrill, The Electric Sunday, Lang Termes, Mathias, and MOTH. His solo sets are comprised mostly of acoustic rock covers and some of his original songs. In band settings, he likes to play funk, jazz, country and more.
PermaFunk returns Saturday, March 2nd at 7pm. The Bozeman-based group makes music to keep bodies moving and souls grooving! Expect plenty of funky, soulful, psychedelic, and Latin-infused grooves. The band is inspired by the creativity and passion of the 1970s and everyone who participates in the PermaFunk experiment.
