Bozeman Public Library s Exploring the Arts series returns on Monday, December 19th with singer/songwriter G.T. Hurley at 7pm.
He is a Montanan whose songs have elements of cowboy, blues, and Southern rock that combine to form outlaw Western, as he describes it. Hurley writes about the cowboy way of life which includes the land and horses. His favorite saying is Life is too short to ride an ugly horse. Hurley also likes to write about real people, includes some ballads in his performances, and has fun with a little rock thrown in along with Bob Wills Western swing for measure. His first album, Tough Horses, was produced by renowned cowboy entertainer Dave Stamey and reached #1 on the Top 30 Album Play List for Western CDs in the spring of 2013. His album War Horse was #6 on the Roots Music Radio Charts in July 2015, with the single Boots On The Ground reaching #1 three weeks in a row. Join the crowd in welcoming G.T. to the Library for some good old western cowboy fun! Yoga for All abilities continues to be held every Tuesday in December from 11 11:45am and 12 12:45pm in the Large Community Room. Certified yoga instructor Karen Averitt will be teaching the morning class, and the noon class is taught by local mom and yoga instructor Jen DuCharme.
The morning class tends to have more kids, following Books & Babies, but all are welcome to either class. Please bring your own mat and any props you choose to use. A new exhibit of prints by Bozeman artist Samantha Hinckley will be on display in the Atrium Gallery at the Library through January 31st. Hinckley, a graduate of Bozeman High School, earned a BFA in Printmaking and Painting and a BA in Modern Language and Literature from Montana State University in 2013. Hinckley stated, My creativity is continually sparked by culture and place, and their relationship and influence upon each other. Where better to share the fruits of my artistic passion than in the heart of the community that has nurtured and inspired me to follow my dreams, about her opportunity to exhibit in the Bozeman Pubic Library. The exhibit is sponsored by the Bozeman Public Library Foundation and will be open during regular Library hours. The Bozeman Public Library is located at 626 E. Main Street.
