The Jive Aces are set for Tuesday, March 6th at 7:30pm
Downtown Bozeman’s Ellen Theatre isn’t only your source for some of the area’s best film and stage performances. It also houses some great musical acts, both local and those coming through town. Here’s a look at what’s coming up.
On Saturday, March 10th at 8pm, it’s the New York City-based string quartet Well-Strung! The group derives their unique blend of vocals and strings by fusing classical music with the pop music of today. The New York Times called them “A talented quartet of men who sing and play instruments… brilliantly fuses pop and classical music from Madonna to Beethoven.” You may also recognize two members of the quartet, Trevor and Chris, from their recent appearance on the CBS reality series The Amazing Race. Tickets are $33.50 or $25.50 for upper balcony seating.
Having recently gained the title of the first Irish band to perform at the world famous music festival Rock in Rio, Dervish brings decades of musical prowess to The Ellen on Wednesday, March 14th at 7:30pm. Dervish concerts are a myriad of tones and moods ranging from high energy tunes, played with fluidity and intuitiveness, to beautifully measured songs, from charming lyrics of life and love, to inspiring melodies that lift audiences from their seats. Tickets are $24.50.
San Francisco songwriting deviants Tumbledown House have never been easy to describe. So, have a listen for yourself when they bring their unique sound to Bozeman on Friday, March 16th at 7:30pm. Modern speakeasy, saloon jazz, parlor pop, and “Tom Waits in a cocktail dress” are some of the terms used, but none of these successfully convey the band’s incomparable ability to fuse vintage sounds and themes from yesteryear with the modern instrumentation, refreshingly original compositions, and raw energy that we expect from today’s performers. All seats for the show are $16.50.
Employing what he’s labeled ‘hard funny,’ Christopher Titus is touring the country sharing his latest show, “Amerigeddon,” and visits Bozeman on Saturday, March 17th at 8pm. Known for leaving no stone unturned, especially within his own life and family, Titus takes his audience on a 90-minute ride that will leave them exhausted from laughter. Tickets are $26.50, $36.50 and $46.50, depending on seating, and the laughs kick off at 8pm.
Looking ahead, Saturday, March 24th brings the original musical stylings of De Temps Antan to The Ellen at 7:30pm. This Quebecois ensemble blends rhythms of the past with contemporary sounds, creating an upbeat, joyful concert full of impromptu shifts and uncontrollable laughter! Tickets are $21.25.
Wine, beer, and other refreshments will be sold in the lobby beginning one hour before showtime. Ticketing and further information about these and other upcoming events is available at www.theellentheatre.com. For additional inquiries, please call (406) 585-5885 or stop into The Ellen box office. Hours are Wednesday through Saturday from 1–3pm, as well as two hours prior to any performance. See you in historic downtown! •
