Spirited singer/songwriters supply the acoustics at downtown distillery
Whether your drink of choice changes with the season or remains constant all year round, Bozeman Spirits has you covered. The downtown distiller is serving up the creative cocktails this spring, but the popular tasting room also hosts live music by local musicians every Tuesday from 5:30–8pm. Here’s a look at the upcoming acts.
Leigh Guest
First up this month, Leigh Guest performs 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.
Mathias is next up on Tuesday, May 14th. The Bozeman-based singer/songwriter has been playing music under the big sky for nearly two decades. With powerful vocals and a percussive guitar style, he’s known for his dynamic live performances full of acoustic folk, rock, and funk tunes. Mathias recorded his debut album, Walk Alone, with the help of Emmy Award-winning producer Jeremiah Slovarp.
Looking ahead, Lena “Laney Lou” Schiffer is set to return Tuesday, May 21st. 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. Their brand new album, Sweet Little Lies, released at the top of the month featuring lead-off single “Carolina.” Come enjoy Schiffer’s stripped-down renditions along with your favorite specialty cocktail!
