Master guitarist Andrew Kasab follows sets by local musicians at Wild Joe*s
During the sunniest months, partaking in Southwest Montana’s many outdoor activities can surely be exhausting – even for the most seasoned recreationists. Caffeinate appropriately with a stop into Wild Joe*s. And while you’re enjoying summer’s beginnings, Downtown Bozeman’s Coffee Spot is a great place to check out acoustic sets by local and traveling artists. Here’s a look at what’s coming up.
Livingstonian artist Danny Bee visits the Coffee Spot with a Friday night set on June 21st from 6–8pm. Known to lend his talents to project bands Barnacle and Blub, he regularly performs in solo settings with no particular attention to style. Bee is currently touring in support of his recent release, Chicken Man Is Doomed. Find the album on SoundCloud or ReverbNation and join the “Cha Cha Cha Revival Movement.”
The next Open Mic Night will take place Saturday, June 22nd from 6–8pm. Come for 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. An additional Open Mic Night is set for Friday, July 5th from 6–8pm.
North Carolina-based musician Andrew Kasab returns to Wild Joe*s with a special performance on Sunday, June 30th from 10am–noon. The fingerstyle guitarist, harp guitarist and singer/songwriter is known to combine traditional and contemporary techniques for his energetic performances. He has been performing for over 30 years at music halls, events, festivals, restaurants and other venues, self-released 11 albums of solo material, and plays multiple styles including folk, blues, country, bluegrass, jazz, American fingerstyle, American primitive and contemporary acoustic styles. His most recent album, Fish, is available now.
Wild Joe*s Coffee Spot is located at 18 W Main St. in the heart of historic Downtown Bozeman. Learn more about these and other upcoming events at www.wildjoescoffee.com. •
