Live music nights & weekly Brunch & Beer at Mountains Walking
Mountains Walking Brewery, Bozeman’s fantastic new gathering spot, has already made plenty of noise with its frosty pints and tasty bites. The north-side space also hosts a number of fun, family-friendly events to complement the menus. Here’s a look at some of what’s coming up on Plum Ave.
First up on Sunday, July 8th, head down for an evening of Portraits & Pints with local artist Zach Hoffman showcasing sun print portrait making from 4–8pm. This unique photographic process called “cyanotype” uses only sunlight to expose and water to develop. Bring the whole family or friends for a unique portrait with Image Lab Photography and Mountains Walking.
Then check out HAVEN Pint Night on Monday, July 9th with live music by Russ Chapman from 6–8pm. The local singer/songwriter brings a strong sense of wit and a weak sense of sentimentality to nearly every song he writes. From numbers like “Exercise Your Demons,” where the narrator laments on aging and innocence, to “Jesus on the Beach,” an exploration of immigration, identity, and mild-mannered hypocrisy, Mr. Chapman will only sing a love song if it involves his deep affection for metaphor. As he said in his TEDx Bozeman presentation on songwriting, “I never met a metaphor I didn’t like.” Indeed. Be prepared for a memorable evening of words and music.
Are you more of a DIYer when it comes to live music? Mark your calendar for Mountains Walking’s next Open Mic Night on Monday, July 16th from 6–8pm. Pop in early for a brew and some grub, or just roll in at 5:30pm when sign-ups start. BE the live entertainment, or come watch some local artists do what they do best!
The next Songwriters Guild is set for Wednesday, July 18th. Hosted by local artist Joe Knapp, this event runs from 6–8pm. Join for an evening of live music performed by various local artists, including the event creator! Knapp plays a variety of styles including Americana, rock n’ roll, old time, and country music. He’s a member of the popular local three-piece, SlomoJoe.
And of course, the recurring weeklies – Taco Tuesday takes place all day every, you guessed it, Tuesday! But if Sunday Funday is more your speed, Brunch & Beer spices up the day of rest every week from 11am–2pm. The special menu includes Sunny Side Pizza, Breakfast Tachos (tater tots meet nachos), and much more! New menu items every week and child-friendly food and drink is always available. Get the workweek started off right!
Located at 422 Plum Ave., Mountains Walking is open seven days a week from 11:30am–8pm. Learn more about the local brewery and tasting room at www.mountainswalking.com. Be sure to follow them on Facebook for updated event information, @MountainsWalkingBrewery. •
