Edis & the Incredibles, SlomoJoe accompany one or two Bridger brews
Fresh off their ‘Best of Bozeman’ wins for Best Pizza and Best Lunch, Bridger Brewing has introduced a bold NEW menu featuring a zesty selection of pies fit for the season. The south-side brewer also hosts Music & Mussels every Wednesday and {Pints with Purpose} on Mondays. Here’s a look at some of the upcoming acts and nonprofits.
Edis & the Incredibles
Wednesday nights from 5:30–8pm, Bridger Brewing hosts Music & Mussels! Come enjoy some live music and succulent, steamed mussels with house-made sweet Italian sausage, tomatoes, garlic, and chili flakes, topped with parsley and tomato salsa.
Edis & the Incredibles will entertain brewery-goers on Wednesday, June 19th. Front woman Edis Kittrell’s unique brand of folky, bluesy tunes has moved and entertained audiences for many years. Her primary instruments are her powerful and heartfelt vocals. Edis also plays six and twelve-string guitar, four and five-string bass, ukulele, and percussion. Influences include Bonnie Raitt, Marshall Tucker, and George Jones, but whatever the song, you can count on heartfelt vocals and fine musicality. Joining Edis are Cliff DeManty on keys and Eddie T. on bass.
On Wednesday, June 26th, settle in for a pint and some mussels (or a pie!) with live music courtesy of SlomoJoe. The band is a three-piece rock n’ roll and Americana group featuring a few of Montana’s finest musicians. SlomoJoe is Joe Knapp (guitar), John Sanders (bass), and D. Ruggles (drums).
Looking to next month, The Fresh Boys are set for Wednesday, July 3rd. The local group’s fun approach to bluegrass is marked by spectacular strings and shenanigans. Grab a pint of your favorite Bridger brew and check them out!
New for summer, enjoy a solo acoustic show on the patio by Joe Knapp of SlomoJoe on Tuesdays from 5–7pm. Brew-lovers will be treated to a variety of styles including Americana, rock n’ roll, old time and country music. These outdoor sets are weather-dependent and subject to change.
Bridger Brewing also plays host {Pints with Purpose} every Monday night from 5–8pm where $1 of every pint sold will be donated to a featured local nonprofit. Here’s a look at some of the nonprofits on the calendar in the coming weeks. Head over to enjoy a house-brewed pint and be charitable in the process!
