Progressive jazz-rock project Marbin visits from Chicago on Saturday, October 5th at 9pm. Tickets to this 21+ show are $9 in advance and $12 at the door. Doors at 8pm.
With a do-it-yourself approach, Marbin started touring extensively in 2011, bringing their original instrumental music to every part of the United States. Through word of mouth, the band has gained hundreds of thousands of devoted fans all over the world and has sold tens of thousands of albums. Last year’s Israeli Jazz marked their seventh album release. Marbin regularly plays in clubs all over the US and in jam and jazz festivals around the world.
Twin Cities project Ginstrings take the stage Friday, October 11th. New York six-piece A Girl Named Genny and local act Wind & the Willows will open at 8:30pm. Tickets to this 21+ show are $9 in advance and $12 at the door. Doors at 7:30pm.
With 33 interchangeable strings and vibrant vocal harmonies, Ginstrings is an acoustic progressive string band driven by an indescribable passion for music. The group’s sound reflects the diverse musical backgrounds of its many members. While a shared love for music, collaboration, and the human experience gives them a constant desire to search for sound and create something new, a combination of optimism and realism keeps their feet on the ground with a healthy dose of head in the clouds. The fellas are on the road in support of their just-released album, Size of Your Shadow.
Bozeman’s own Hooligans entertain on Saturday, October 12th at 8pm. Tickets to this 21+ show are $9 in advance and $12 at the door. Doors at 7pm.
Formed in 1990, the Hooligans are Bozeman’s longest running roots rock/Americana/blues/jam band. Hooligans are inspired by the improv-driven music of the San Francisco scene as well as early folk, blues, and great rock n’ roll. Prepare to hear tunes from the likes of Bob Marley, Muddy Waters, John Hiatt, Grateful Dead, Traffic, Bob Dylan, Hot Tuna, Van Morrison, and The Band, as well as a handful of originals. The Hooligans’ album Beggars & Thieves is available now.
Rust Belt rockers The Goddamn Gallows and Texan one-man-band Scott H. Biram perform on Wednesday, October 16th. Lone Star string project Urban Pioneers open at 8pm. Tickets to this 21+ show are $18 in advance and $23 at the door. Doors at 7pm.
Known for an always-evolving sound, Goddamn Gallows released their latest collection, The Trial, last year. From rockabilly, psychobilly and punk rock, to bluegrass and metal, the album infuses disparate sounds into a new strange recipe of seamless genre-bending profundities. Chock full of impromptu antics of the shocking variety and hauntingly eclectic instrumentation, the band has made legions of fans with their legendary live shows.
A walk on the Biram side straddles the chasm between sin and redemption and his latest full-length, The Bad Testament, lands somewhere west of the Old Testament and south of an AA handbook. It’s a record of hard-grinding lost love, blues and deep, dark Americana. The man writes on a razor’s edge of aggression and deftness, thoroughly contemporary but steeped in the backwaters, back porches and back alleys of our collective musical heritage.
Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs are set for a two-night vinyl release party October 18th and 19th. Jackson Holte and the Highway Patrol open Friday at 8pm. Cascade Crescendo will get the music started at 9pm on Saturday. Tickets to each 21+ show are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Doors at 7pm and 8pm, respectively.
The Bird Dogs’ live shows are highlighted by unbridled energy, punctuated by songs performed with fervor and swagger. Fusing old time folk songs with a rock n’ roll attitude, the group push the envelope of what a string band would generally be described as. Having shared stages with Corb Lund, Hayes Carll, Hurray for the Riff Raff, The Mavericks, Wynonna Judd, Mark Chesnutt, and The Lil’ Smokies, their spring-released album Sweet Little Lies featuring singles “Carolina” and “Time or Tears.”
