A legacy in Downtown Bozeman’s nightlife scene, the Eagles Bar features the very best talent the Valley has to offer with regular Wednesday acoustics and weekend jamming. Here’s a look at what’s happening in the coming weeks.
Luke Flansburg delivers a solo show on September 6th. He’ll bring a wide variety of music ranging from funk to rock to blues. Also a member of Pinky & the Floyd, Tsunami Funk and MOTH, prepare for a fun set of covers and originals that will span the genres.
The Disruptors take the stage with back-to-back performances on Sept. 8th and 9th. The high energy band does their darndest to get audiences singing along with their wide selection of rock n’ roll tunes from the ‘60s to now.
Also on Sept. 9th, head up to the ballroom for the Best Damn Punk Show beginning at 2pm. Participating bands include Special Duties, Starving Wolves, Endless Struggle, Decent Criminal, Göners ÜK, Jerk!, The Shiverz, Shocktroopers, Deadender, The Lucitones, Prints, Jug o’ Piss, Death Trophy and Scuba Steve & the Shark.

Singer/songwriter Hannah Jo Lally shows off her talents on Sept. 13th. From the back roads of Eastern Washington, enjoy an evening of country cuts and distinctive originals. She draws influence from the likes of Suzy Bogguss and Charley Pride, Waylon Jennings and Mary Chapin Carpenter, among others.
Enjoy the original country rock of Dead Yellers on Sept. 15th and 16th. Founded by frontman Peter King, the music follows a theme of courage in the face of adversity, delivered in an upbeat, western roots format, ultimately leaving the audience feeling hopeful and happy. Sometimes joined by fiddle, pedal steel, bass and harmonica, this group always brings something unique to their performances.
Local band Little Jane & the Pistol Whips bring their album release party to the Ballroom on Sept. 16th at 7pm. Inspired by the mountains and prairies of Montana from the winding passes to lonely dusty roads, Little Jane’s new album, The Long Road Ahead, is a love letter to Montana. The thoughtful lyrics about life at a crossroads, sadness, hope and renewal invite the listener into the haunting lyrics. Montana-born lead singer Ashly Jane’s dynamic voice has a vintage country feel like Loretta Lynn, but she can sing anything. Her breadth of ballads to barn dance top tapping tunes has delighted audiences across the Big Sky and beyond. Tickets to this show are $15 and include a copy of the new album.
Mario Miner Jr. of two-piece rock n’ roll project Gallatin Ghost Train performs on Sept. 20th. Expect an evening of blues-skewing tunes and some original songs.
Head down to the Eagles to mosh with local rockers Parahellion on Sept. 22nd and 23rd. The shows are a perfect opportunity to blow off some steam and spend a few of those hard-earned dollars!
Another night of acoustics follows on Sept. 27th featuring the talents of Keelan Evins. A longtime performer in and around the Bozeman area, this songsmith delivers for his audiences and is a magician on the guitar.
Eagles favorites Bluebelly Junction are back Sept. 29th and 30th. The “rockabilly” group brings an arsenal of originals and personalized covers. The high-energy band tends to veer away from slow jams, other than the occasional tune.
