The Fall foliage is in full affect in Southwest Montana. Dive into some great live music at Chico Hot Springs Saloon after a leisurely cruise through Paradise Valley. Live entertainment heads to Pray every Friday and Saturday evening so you can kick up your feet – and soak them too!
The Fossils are back Friday and Saturday, October 5th–6th. Known around town for their authentic hippie music, The Fossils guarantee a rockin’ good time. The members have been acquainted for years and are connected by their love of music. The band consists of Scott Boehler (harmonica), Rich Ruggles (keyboard), Jerry Mullen (guitar), and Rick Phillip (drums).
El Wencho rides again! The energetic duo return to Chico with a pair of performances Friday and Saturday, October 12th–13th. For most people, the image of an “acoustic duo” conjures images of two soft spoken musicians singing folk rock and hippie jam songs. This is not the case with The Wench. Two original members of The Clintons, John and Josh joke, “we’re half the band, twice the party!” The guys are no strangers to throwing a rocking good time. Their show is a hotdish or “badasserole” of musical genres and style.
Laney Lou & the Bird Dogs are set for Friday and Saturday, October 19th–20th. The band’s 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, they released their eponymous debut in the spring of 2016. Recorded live at Basecamp Studio, the album is one that reflects their live show and makes you want to stomp your feet and crack open a beer. Their latest album, The Vigilante Session, released last October.
Chico Saloon music begins at 9pm, unless otherwise noted. Chico Hot Springs is located in Pray, 20 miles south of Livingston. Come sip, soak, and swing! For more information, visit www.chicohotsprings.com.
