Downtown Bozeman’s Fraternal Order of Eagles draws a diverse crowd. Most commonly known to locals as the Eagles Bar, this watering hole is popular to everyone from cowboys to ski bums to college kids. Not only a popular spot for the happy hour crowd, the Eagles hosts weekly live music and karaoke. Here’s a look at what’s coming up.
All the way from Montana’s capitol, SunsAh406 will entertain Friday and Saturday, April 13th–14th. The Helena-based Americana band’s tight harmonies and unique song choices make for an ear-catching sound that’ll have you tapping your toes. Originally formed in 2015, the band has grown into a dance-friendly four to five-piece that puts a new twist on old sounds, in addition to plenty of originals. Throw your dance shoes on and get ready to enjoy the SunsAh406!
Close 2 Toast bring a pair of performances, Friday and Saturday, April 20th–21st. Formed from all the right elements found within the Gallatin Valley comes a band like no other, with songs to warm your heart, make you cry, and dance! Grab a drink and drag your partner out on the floor.
Country rockers Bluebelly Junction return with the danceable entertainment Friday and Saturday, April 27th–28th. 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.
Missoula-based Locksaw Cartel visits the Downtown Bozeman tavern, Friday and Saturday, May 4th–5th. The high energy, hard-driving original ensemble features powerful vocals complemented by soaring guitar and piano leads. While the group’s home base is danceable funk and R&B, Locksaw also navigates through multiple genres in tight-knit original compositions often blending one song into the next. They draw influence from Portishead, Ween, Billy Holiday, Clouddead, Miles Davis, Bill Frisell, John Scofield, Grant Green, Nirvana, McCoy Tyner, Les Claypool, Morcheeba, Bonobo, all of the music from the late ‘60s through the ‘70s, and much more.
Bridger Mountain Big Band performs regularly on Sundays from 7–9:30pm. The 17-piece jazz orchestra celebrates the music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and more, with original arrangements and music of all genres from the 1900s to today. Check them out on Facebook, @TheBridgerMountainBigBand, for performance announcements.
