Dirty Old One Man Band, Metallica tribute front special Eagles shows
Beat the spring fever with a night downtown! Bozeman’s Eagles Bar features a full calendar of solo musician sets and full band showcases for all the live music fans out there.
A special event kicks off the month when Scott H. Biram performs with help from JD Pinkus of Butthole Surfers and Melvins on Wednesday, April 6th. Local group Gallatin Ghost Train will open the show at 8pm. Advance tickets are $15 or $20 day of show.
Fever Dreams, the 12th album from the Texas-based “Dirty Old One Man Band,” is a fervent yet intimate collection of blues, classic country, and rock-n-roll sealed with punk and heavy metal. The album delivers another gritty glimpse into the salty world of roadworn hearts and mismanaged emotions. Laying down his bare soul at the people’s feet, the record dips and sways with tales of hard, homesick traveling, lost love, overindulgence, spiritual rejoice, and tributes to some of his favorite music pioneers.
