Established local musicians load in to Kountry Korner throughout week
Extracurricular activities come in many forms, but unwinding with some great food and live music is hard to beat! The Kountry Korner Café serves both delicious grub and local musician residencies throughout the month. Here’s a look at some upcoming performance dates in Four Corners.
A local pianist and KKC fixture, Bob Britten brings Saturday performances on February 1st, 8th and 15th at 5:30pm each evening. Britten studied piano and guitar as a youth growing up in New Jersey, but it was the guitar that brought him to Montana. He studied classical guitar and attended Christopher Parkening’s master classes at Montana State University in 1981 and 1982. Bob played guitar and piano in various bands in Billings including the Gentlemen of Jazz and solo piano nightly at the Cellar 301 for several years.
Rich Mayo performs every Tuesday at 6pm. Upcoming dates include February 4th and 11th. Known for his stylistic versatility, Rich is an exceptional guitarist, vocalist and harmonica player. He is a founding member of local group Dos Mayos whose unique arrangements of Latin, jazz, blues and Americana span the decades. His solo sets draw inspiration from numerous genres, creating an Americana mix any audience is sure to enjoy.
Take in the talents of Donnie’s Inferno every Friday night at 5:30pm. They’ll be ready to entertain February 7th and 14th. Performing a blend of crowd favorites like “Honky Cat” and “Taxman,” these guys will add to the ambience while you enjoy your end-of-week meal. The trio keeps a rotating list of about 200+ songs ranging in stylistic content from “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” to “You Sexy Thing” by Hot Chocolate. No music after 1980!
