Rialto welcomes Hawaiian reggae ensemble, Asleep at the Wheel & more
Downtown Bozeman’s Rialto Theater features loads of fantastic live entertainment for music-lovers this and every month. Here’s a look at just a few of the upcoming happenings.
Hawaiian reggae ensemble The Green brings a performance on Wednesday, July 24th. Floridian singer/songwriter Leilani Wolfgramm will open at 8pm. Tickets to this 18+ show range $23–$33. Doors at 7pm.
Countless miles of touring and a handful of studio albums have led this small group of Oahu musicians to become recognized as ambassadors of Aloha, helping represent Hawaiian people and culture to the world through their craft. The Green come to Bozeman following the spring release of Black & White, their new acoustic album. The collection gave the band a chance to revisit some of the most popular songs in their extensive catalog and see them with new eyes, recording new, soulful acoustic arrangements that echo the intimacy you’d find hanging with them in the green room before a show.
The Variety Show is bringing you a taste of some of Bozeman’s most elite performers with Speak Sleazy: A Night of Comedy, Burlesque & Other Hidden Talents. Performances are set for Saturday and Sunday, July 27th and 28th at 8:30pm. Tickets to these 18+ shows range $20–$25. Doors at 7:30pm.
Prepare for clowns, aerial dancers, burlesque, comedy, poetry, song and dance. The evening will feature the talents of Heidi Krutchkoff, Vera Visceral, Megan Makeever, Melissa Dawn, Paige & the People’s Band, Paúl Gomex, Raison D’être Dance Project, ATRYP, Walt Woolbaugh, Jupiter Everhard, Ryan Cassavaugh and Austine Alta Theil. There will be audience participation and a dance party to celebrate!
Famed country group Asleep at the Wheel will perform on Thursday, August 1st at 8pm. Tickets to this all ages show are $35. Doors at 7pm.
Their latest album, New Roots, marks both a path forward and a nod to the freewheeling roots (get it?) of one of Texas’ most beloved bands fronted by founding member Roy Benson. With a fresh new lineup, a bracing blend of original songs and vibrant cover material and some unanticipated new musical tangents, Asleep at the Wheel demonstrates convincingly it’s more relevant, enjoyable and musically nimble than any time in its 49 year history.
