Rock n’ roll Americana of Jackson Holte, BlueBelly Junction at Sacajawea
A weekend getaway to the historic Sacajawea Hotel is calling! The Missouri Headwaters-adjacent venue is perfect for dinner, drinks and dancing every Friday and Saturday night. Enjoy a fine dining experience in Pompey’s Grill followed by a night on the dance floor in the Sac Bar. Here’s a look at some of the upcoming acts.
Jackson Holte & the Highway Patrol
Jackson Holte & the Highway Patrol perform on Friday, November 15th. The Missoula-based rock n’ roll band is fronted by Holte, whose blend of earthy narrative songwriting and soaring blues guitar playing is complemented by Marko “The Midnight Shadow” Capoferri on bass, Tyson Gerhardt on guitar, and Brian Tremper on drums. With a firm grounding in America’s folk traditions, the band is able to bound across genres in an authentic and emotive re-imagining of what a working rock n’ roll band can be.
Country rockers BlueBelly Junction follow on Saturday, November 16th. The group provides audiences with what they consider “rockabilly music” all over the state of Montana. The high-energy band tends to veer away from slow jams, other than the occasional tune. With an arsenal of originals and personalized covers, the guys will keep you on your feet until last call.
Belt out your favorite tunes with Sunrise Karaoke on Friday, November 22nd. Bring your favorite songs and get ready to impress – or at least give it your best shot! You haven’t done karaoke until you’ve done it with Sunrise.
Helena’s Longhorn Band boot scoots in on Saturday, November 23rd. Musicians Mike Doughty, Dennis Dupré, and Terry O’Hare joined by newcomer Clint Rieder and fiddle player Chad Sigafoos craft a true country sound. Terry’s virtuoso guitar and Clint’s authentic country voice will put your feet into motion. A band that truly plays for the dancers in the crowd, Longhorn has performed at numerous venues across Montana. Note: Longhorn will bring an encore performance to the Sac on Saturday, Nov. 30th.
Friday, November 29th features the musical stylings of Daniel Kosel & Madrona Road. Backed by Mike Tranel (drums), Maclin Wiley (bass) and Marley Ball (cello), Kosel is a Montana-based singer/songwriter and guitarist who performs originals from his recently released Better Days and earlier albums, plus a delicious bevy of covers. His emotionally intelligent poetry, soulful vocals, and pretty guitar stylings make a delightful listening experience best described as “Crues Music,” a self-styled blend of country, rock, and blues.
Sac live music begins at 9pm. The Sacajawea Hotel is located at 5 N Main in Three Forks. For more information about these events, visit www.sacajaweahotel.com. •
