The Sac Bar within the Sacajawea Hotel in Three Forks is a place to wine, dine, and enjoy some of Montana’s best live music. Hotel guests, locals, and people from all around are welcome head out and enjoy everything the Sac has to offer. Here’s a look at some of the upcoming music! Popular entertainers Diamond Rock & Soul will perform an always-lively set on Friday, September 4th. Kenny and Colette Diamond have had an incredible run with life. Blessed with the love for music, their paths crossed while on different musical projects in Seattle. They began a musical adventure that took them all over the United States performing at resorts, clubs, corporate parties and finally landing them in Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas showrooms and clubs became home while finding themselves intrigued with the fast growing Real Estate Market. These two intriguing occupations of music and real estate gave the Diamonds the ability to make the choices to continue to share their love of music with others. Kenny, Colette and their three daughters now call Bozeman, Montana and Las Vegas their homes. They passionately enjoy performing for weddings, corporate events, parties, resorts, special celebrations, dance clubs and even a rodeo every now and then. Kenny comes with a passionate love of the guitar. His talents are showcased and range from rock to blues to classical and flamenco. He loves to write instrumentals that are usually requested and performed nightly and has touched the souls of young and old. Kenny also performs as a solo guitarist for smaller venues playing instrumentals and some classic sing alongs. Colette, with over 30 years as an entertainer, plays keyboards, bass, saxophone, and drums. She has touched people overseas on USO tours and all over the US. People pick up on her positive personality and really appreciate all of her talents. Kenny and Colette, simply calling themselves DIAMOND, bring forth an environment filled with a musical professionalism that is enjoyed by everyone.
Country rockers Bluebelly Junction will take the Sac stage Saturday, September 5th. Formed in early 2013, Bluebelly Junction has been providing audiences with what they consider “rockabilly music” all over the state of Montana. The high-energy band tends to veer away from slow jams, other than the occasional tune. With an arsenal of originals and personalized covers, the guys will keep you on your feet through last call. Country music fans and amateur songwriters need mark their calendars to enjoy the collaboration of five famous Nashville singer/songwriters! The very 1st Annual Sacajawea Songwriters Festival will be held Thursday, September 10th through Saturday, September 12th in and around the Sacajawea Hotel. Led by Montana’s own Kostas, the rest of the lineup making the trip to Montana’s Favorite Small Town includes Even Stevens, Billy Montana, Helen Darling, and Kylie Sackley. Events will include: a showcase of personally penned and recorded songs at a sponsors’ gathering on Thursday evening; shows on multiple stages throughout Three Forks on Friday evening, culminating in a talent filled songwriters’ Jam Session at the Sacajawea Bar; a songwriters’ clinic on Saturday morning where amateur songwriters can spend some time with the pros, hone their craft, and learn about the business of songwriting; a “Montana Idol” competition on Saturday afternoon, where local aspiring singer/songwriters can play original material and be judged by the Professional Songwriters Panel; and an intimate “Songwriters in the Round” finale to be held in the Sacajawea tent on Saturday night.
