A Downtown mainstay for decades, the Eagles Bar is always a great choice for after work snifters, Friday night BINGO, and weekend live music – midweek too! Here’s a look at who’s playing at FOE this month.
Next up in the Eagles’ “Acoustic Wednesdays” series are the DiTrani Brothers with a stripped down performance on October 3rd beginning at 7pm. Visiting from Washington, the band comes to Bozeman as part of its “Broken Lands Album Release Tour.” Most commonly on stage with their full band, the Hammer of Spring, the DiTrani Brothers play original and traditional tunes drawing influence from eastern-European folk music, Roma swing (gypsy jazz), early American jazz and ragtime, delivering raucous performances that allude to past traditions with a contemporary sentiment.
Country rockers BlueBelly Junction return Friday and Saturday, October 5th–6th. The group provides audiences with what they consider “rockabilly music” all over the state of Montana. The high-energy band tends to veer away from slow jams, other than the occasional tune. With an arsenal of originals and personalized covers, the guys will keep you on your feet until last call.
Stephanie Yeager is back with another round of Wednesday night acoustics on October 10th at 7pm. With a gripping, emotive voice and guitar skills to match, Yeager’s songwriting makes you feel as though you’re on the most exciting road trip of your life. Her passionate folk songs draw from the influence of country, soul, gospel, indie-pop, and blues. From Alaska to Appalachia, to the beaches of south Texas, Yeager’s travels have brought her far and wide. These adventures are expressed beautifully in her latest album, Campfire Sessions, available now.
Tales From Ghost Town brings a show on Wednesday, October 17th at 7pm. Nick Hagan, the man behind the name, has been called punkabillly, gothic country, cowpunk, punk blues, Montana blues, soul punk, folkabillly, punk grass, and street folk, but the one-man acoustic band claims none. The Colorado native has shared bills with acts including Goddamn Gallows, Koffin Kats, Hellbound Glory, and Murder Junkies, as well as solo artists Scott H. Biram, Joe Buck Yourself, James Hunnicutt and Graham Lindsey.
Red Glow Buffalo return to the Eagles Friday and Saturday, October 19th–20th. The band plays music that’s fun, adventurous, and cool – sometimes loud but always fresh. They play twangy, rock n’ roll-style originals and many “repurposed” covers. Calling “Montellowstone” home, Red Glow Buffalo draws inspiration from the likes of Rubber Knife Gang, Paul Simon, Reel Big Fish, Tom Petty, The White Stripes, Turnpike Troubadours, Snoop Dogg, The Devil Makes Three, James Gang, The Kinks, Bob Dylan, and The Beatles, any many more.
Bridger Mountain Big Band performs regularly on Sundays from 7–9:30pm. The 17-piece jazz orchestra celebrates the music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and more, with original arrangements and music of all genres from the 1900s to today. Check them out on Facebook, @TheBridgerMountainBigBand, for performance announcements.
Always a blast, Sunrise Entertainment brings the fun of karaoke and DJ music every Thursday night. Come sing your heart out and maybe even do a dance number between songs. Liquid confidence available upon request.
Eagles Bar live music begins at 9pm, unless otherwise noted. Come play a game of pool, listen to some great local bands, or stop in for a cold one any day of the week! The Eagles is located at 316 E Main St., next to the Nova Café. For more information, call (406) 587-9996.
