Tasting with a twist! Bozeman Spirits hosts Tuesday tunesmiths
Treat your taste buds to a Montana-made libation! Bozeman Spirits is serving up the creative cocktails this spring, but the popular tasting room also hosts live music by local musicians every Tuesday night from 5:30–8pm. Here’s a look at the upcoming acts.
Averitt & Hunt on ’11th & Grant’
Enjoy the talented duo of Jim Averitt and Chelsea Hunt on Tuesday, April 16th. The former has shared the stage and studio with many notable artists including Jackson Browne, Joe Cocker, Joe Walsh, Pat Benatar, Toto, Les McCann, Tom Rush, David Wilcox, Rambling Jack Elliott, Jim Messina, Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins. He’s also co-written several tunes with Jim Messina, Kostas, Jane Fonda and Ted Turner. Averitt’s music has been featured on HBO and 20/20, as well as many additional documentaries.
Hunt has been gracing the stages of Bozeman venues with her sweet melodic musical presence for years, most recently as a member of Acony Belles. She and Averitt will showcase their Montana-inspired folk and Americana music.
Lena “Laney Lou” Schiffer is set for Tuesday, April 30th. The Southern California native is the Bird Dogs’ frontwoman, known for her powerful vocals and stringwork. The band fuses old time folk songs with a rock n’ roll attitude and brings a fun-loving spirit to every performance. They’re set to release their brand new album, Sweet Little Lies, at the top of next month featuring lead-off single “Carolina.” Come enjoy Schiffer’s stripped-down renditions along with your favorite specialty cocktail!
Looking to next month, Leigh Guest is set to return on Tuesday, May 7th. The singer/songwriter loves to travel, tell stories, and sing. Combining those together leaves a recipe for the perfect song. Guest is a wanderer who has toured through the Western half of the United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and even busked throughout Australia. Her influences include Guy Clark, Gillian Welch, Joni Mitchell and Townes Van Zandt. She continues to travel and share music off her latest album, Wolf Creek.
