Since opening its doors some six years ago, Red Tractor has proved itself more than your average pizza joint. The local pizzeria hosts community-centric events and also welcomes sets by independent musicians throughout the week. The live music serves as a perfect complement to its handcrafted rounds and wide selection of regional brews. Here’s a look at who’s coming up.
Bridger Creek Boys return to their usual Thursday slot on November 7th at 7pm. The Boys are an acoustic bluegrass quartet steeped in old-time tradition, while also pushing the genre with newgrass. The band blends originals with covers of traditional bluegrass and more contemporary artists. Their style is confident, complex, and full of improvisation that will draw you in and get you shaking all over with bluegrass joy. Bridger Creek Boys will bring an additional performance to Red Tractor on November 14th at 7pm.
Montana Manouche
On Friday, November 8th, a very special Jazz Night will feature Montana Manouche beginning at 7pm. The group plays swinging instrumental Gypsy Jazz music in the style of Django Reinhardt. The tunes are joyful and elegant, reminiscent of music played in Paris nightclubs in the 1940s.
Enjoy a Saturday night dinner with tableside tunes courtesy of the Vibe Quartet on November 9th at 7pm. The improv quartet fuses a variety of instrumental music ranging from jazz standards to original funk numbers and instrumental popular tunes. The group is a Bozeman area favorite and is not to be missed!
Ashley Ross is back on Monday, November 11th, at 6:30pm. She’s a Montana-born folk musician dedicated to inspiring and encouraging people through heartfelt original lyrics. She grew up in Bozeman, and has always loved being outdoors. She receives much of her inspiration and “creative juices” from being out in God’s creation. Ross writes her songs based on personal experience and the stories of people around her. While she enjoys performing, she hopes that the message of her songs reaches beyond just one night and can touch those that hear them with truth, Jesus’ love, and with hope. Her album, Beautifully Broken, is available now.
On November 15th, Jazz Night takes over Red Tractor, as it does every Friday, at 7pm. Curated by guitarist and composer Alex Robilotta, these evenings feature the music styles of jazz, funk, latin, and more. Come out, get ready to groove, and hear America’s only original art form as it exists and evolves in the 21st century.
