Bird Dogs front winter barn burner at Livingston’s Attic
Before heading to the Pacific Northwest, local darlings Laney Lou & the Bird Dogs bring their winter tour to Downtown Livingston’s Attic. The concert will take place Saturday, December 7th and will feature guest spots by Jason Wickens and Western Electric. The music begins at 8:30pm. Advance tickets to this 21+ show are $15 (plus service fees). Doors at 7:30pm.
The Bird Dogs’ live shows are highlighted by unbridled energy, punctuated by songs performed with fervor and swagger. Fusing old time folk songs with a rock n’ roll attitude, the group push the envelope of what a string band would generally be described as. Having shared stages with Corb Lund, Hayes Carll, Hurray for the Riff Raff, The Mavericks, Wynonna Judd, Mark Chesnutt, and The Lil’ Smokies, their spring-released album Sweet Little Lies features singles “Carolina” and “Time or Tears.”
Co-founder of Live from the Divide, Jason Wickens grew up on his family’s ranch in rural north-central Montana where he taught himself to sing and play guitar. At an early age, he was introduced to Texas-based artists like Houston Marchman, Walt Wilkins, Charlie Robison and Jason Boland who inspired him to write music and tell stories in a way that felt truly authentic to him. He has taken that passion and focused his efforts on writing and sharing stories through song. His self-titled debut album released last year. In addition to writing and performing his music, Wickens has worked with artists like Sturgill Simpson, Chris Knight, Radney Foster, Hayes Carll, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Steve Earle, Dale Watson and many others during his Live tenure.
From down-home classic country to dirty roadhouse rock, Western Electric plays American music audiences can dance to. The Montana-made band features the talents of some of the region’s best musicians.
