FOE parties down with Dead Yellers, Tsunami Funk & Bluebelly
De-stress with a night out at Downtown Bozeman’s Eagles Bar. They’ve got hump day acoustics, dance-friendly weekend groups and Sunday nights reserved for Bridger Mountain Big Band.
Check out the original country rock of the Dead Yellers on Oct. 8th and 9th. Founded by frontman Peter King, the music follows a theme of courage in the face of adversity, delivered in an upbeat, western roots format, ultimately leaving the audience feeling hopeful and happy. Sometimes joined by fiddle, pedal steel, bass and harmonica, this group always brings something unique to their shows, making each different than the last.

Also on Oct. 9th, head up to the ballroom for the first in the Ibiza Sound Club monthly dance series. Let loose like no one’s watching to electronic house, progressive, techno and trance music. Music runs from 8pm to midnight. Admission is $10. 21+.
Kristin Lundell follows Oct. 13th. The local singer/songwriter and guitarist performs catchy, melodic rock originals inspired by the likes of Veruca Salt, Juliana Hatfield and The Beatles. She’ll also have the audience singing along as she puts her spin on hits that span the decades.
Tsunami Funk set up for a pair of energetic shows on Oct. 15th and 16th. The Bozeman-favorite group always packs the dance floor with Funk/R&B-rocking grooves. Tsunami Funk plays tunes from artists like Stevie Wonder, Pharrell Williams, Bruno Mars, Red Hot Chili Peppers, James Brown, Earth Wind & Fire, Sly & the Family Stone, Kool & the Gang, Van Morrison, Steely Dan, Bob Marley, and many more!
The next midweek acoustics will feature the stylings of local favorite Mathias on Oct. 20th. With powerful vocals and a percussive guitar style, he’s known for his dynamic live performances full of acoustic folk, rock, and funk tunes.
Act a fool to the trailer trash rock, country and Irish tunes of Ornery Jacks on Oct. 22nd and 23rd. The foursome will have the audience on their feet until the cows come home.
Chandler Huntley takes the stage for a solo set on Oct. 27th. He draws influence from Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Guy Clark, John Prine, Robert Earl Keen and other country greats, from the current and past.
Country rockers BlueBelly Junction will bring the noise Oct. 29th and 30th. The “rockabilly” group brings an arsenal of originals and personalized covers. The high-energy band tends to veer away from slow jams, other than the occasional tune.
Thirsty Thursday is best enjoyed with Living the Dream Karaoke, setting up at FOE weekly. Sing your heart out and cheer on your friends! Sign-ups start at 9pm.
Bridger Mountain Big Band is back! The ensemble performs regularly at 7pm on Sunday evenings. 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 for performance announcements.
Acoustic Wednesdays start at 8pm and weekend bands are on at 9pm, unless otherwise noted. Head downtown for some great live music or stop in for a cold one and support our local haunts. •
