Montana-based bands sound off at Chico Saloon
Summer travels may still be farther off than we’d like, but Southwest Montana offers plenty of opportunities for local escapes. Get out of dodge with a trip to Chico Hot Springs. The resort is perfect for quick getaways and its Saloon features the very best in local talent every weekend.
Get ready to hit the floor when Triggered take the stage on April 8th and 9th. The band performs an array of country and rock tunes. A morning soak will help ease the pain after a night up on your feet.
Tsunami Funk follow with back-to-back shows on April 15th and 16th. The Bozeman-favorite group always packs the dance floor with Funk/R&B-rocking grooves. Tsunami Funk plays tunes from artists like Stevie Wonder, Pharrell Williams, Bruno Mars, Red Hot Chili Peppers, James Brown, Earth Wind & Fire, Sly & the Family Stone, Kool & the Gang, Van Morrison, Steely Dan, Bob Marley, and many more!
Helena-based Ten Years Gone bring shows on April 22nd and 23rd. The band is all about performing great, danceable music – everything from classic rock to alternative, funk, country, pop and dance. They always bring a crowd and an excellent sound.
Cole Decker Band is set for April 29th and 30rd. The Mississippi-born frontman pulls from his musical roots of old school country. He’s influenced by the likes of Waylon Jennings and newer artists including Chris Stapleton, Brent Cobb and Jason Isbell. Expect full-band performances of songs featured on Decker’s debut EP, Can’t Ruin a Bad Reputation.
Looking to a new month, El Wencho is back May 6th and 7th. For most people, the image of an “acoustic duo” conjures images of two soft spoken musicians singing folk rock and hippie jam songs. This is not the case with the Wench. Two original members of the Clintons, John and Josh joke, “we’re half the band, twice the party!” The guys are no strangers to throwing a rocking good time. Their show is a hotdish or “badasserole” of musical genres and style.
Live Saloon music begins at 9pm. Chico Hot Springs is located in Pray, 20 miles south of Livingston. For more information, visit www.chicohotsprings.com. •
