Local musicians, Centennial State folk jammers come to Wild Joe*s
With spring still a ways out, many are looking for activities to assuage their off-season cabin fever. Offering a delicious variety of beverages and bites to go with, Downtown Bozeman’s Wild Joe*s is also home to regular live acoustics by local and traveling artists. These Coffee Spot sets are free of admission and a nice alternative to late night bar sets. Here’s a look at what’s coming up.
Colorado folk jam ensemble A Brother’s Fountain perform on Friday, February 21st. Birthed from deep spiritual expression within the avenue of passionate music, this a rag tag group of musicians got their start on the street corners of old town Fort Collins. The band has since evolved into a multi-piece featuring a rather eclectic combination of instruments. Together they’ve uncovered a folk-inspired genre listeners have always wanted to hear, but never knew existed.
The next Open Mic Night will take place Saturday, February 22nd from 6–8pm. Enjoy an evening of music performed by local musicians. Bring your guitar, sitar, zither, poetry, comedy, or theremin and take a turn up at the mic. Show Bozeman what you’re made of! Individual set lengths depend on the number of musicians who want to play. Sign-ups start at 5:30pm – first come, first served. Be sure to bring your friends and support live music in Bozeman! A modest contribution to the kitty will be divided by participating musicians at the end of the night. The more people who come, the more money in the pot.
Chandler Huntley is set for Friday, February 28th from 6–8pm. The South Carolina native draws influence from Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Guy Clark, John Prine, Robert Earl Keen and other country greats, from the current and past. His upbeat, finger-picking guitar style and soulful voice are something to behold. Wild Joe*s Coffee Spot is located at 18 W Main in Downtown Bozeman.
