Soul Natural Remedy
Wild Joe*s Coffee Spot in downtown Bozeman is known for its caffeinated beverages, but it also is used as a live music venue for local artists and others in town to showcase their musical abilities. There are a few exciting events coming in September!
The coffeehouse will host S.N.R. (Soul Natural Remedy) Friday the 11th from 7-9pm. Grant (from Atlanta) and Corbin (from Chicago), met while working in Yellowstone National Park but will soon be on their way to L.A to chase the dream. The music on their demo recording has a distinct, dreamy, psychedelic, folksy sound that’s earned them both critical praise and interest from a very well-known international record label. While their equally energetic and meditative music is clearly referencing psychedelic era Beatles and the Beach Boys falsetto harmonies, they’re more comfortable being compared to the indie psych-pop of Mac DeMarco, Tame Impala, and Kendrick Lamar. Acoustic singer/songwriters Chris Cunningham and Justin Roth will take the stage Saturday, Septmber 26th from 7-9pm. Chris Cunningham of Storyhill plays a very special show with indie singer-songwriter and acoustic fingerstyle guitarist Justin Roth. Roth is a nationally touring singer/songwriter and fingerstyle acoustic guitarist who combines an artful blend of hooks laid on a bed of brilliantly inventive guitar technique, bridging contemporary and indie/alt folk. He has toured with John Gorka and opened for some of the finest singer/songwriters, including Shawn Colvin, Martin Sexton, Darrell Scott, and David Wilcox. His guitar playing has earned him shared stages with some of the greatest fingerstyle players of today, such as Tommy Emmanuel, Andy McKee, and Pat Donohue. Roth’s fan-funded fourth solo album, Now You Know, which he recorded, produced, played and sang every single note himself in his home studio, was voted as one of the Top 100 Folk Albums of 2011 by Roots Music Report. San Francisco Art Magazine noted, “Fans of Leo Kottke or Michael Hedges will find themselves right at home with [Roth’s] intricate guitar work…beautifully written lyrics.” Chris Cunningham, singer-songwrigter and multi-instrumentalist is half of the well-known folk duo Storyhill. Chris is the owner and producer of Bozeman-based Basecamp Recording Studio. All Wild Joe*s performances run sometime between 7pm and 10pm with a $5 cover unless otherwise noted. Wild Joe*s Coffee Spot is located in the heart of historic downtown Bozeman. Voted #1 coffeehouse in the Best of Bozeman 2014 and 2015, they’re also a Montana Eco Star recipient for sustainable business practices. Their aim is to serve the best coffee, espresso, and tea drinks in Montana–but they’re more than just that! With a capacity of 98 people, Wild Joe*s is also one of Bozeman’s most popular spots for eclectic live music. Wild Joe*s is located in downtown Bozeman on 18 West Main Street.
