Dustbowl Revival, Pinky & the Floyd take Center Stage in Big Sky
After another amazing summer of Music in the Mountains, the FREE live entertainment series concludes at Center Stage in Big Sky’s Town Center Park. Here’s a look at the last of the acts set to bring it on home.
The Venice, California-based Dustbowl Revival are next up on Thursday, August 23rd. The collective merges old school bluegrass, gospel, pre-war blues and the hot swing of New Orleans to form a spicy roots cocktail. Known for their roaring live sets, Dustbowl bravely brings together many styles of traditional American music. Some call it a string/brass band mashup. Imagine Old Crow Medicine Show teaming up with Louis Armstrong’s Hot Fives and Sevens, or Bob Dylan and The Band jamming with Benny Goodman and his orchestra in 1938. It’s infectious, joyous music – a youthful take on time-worn American traditions. Dustbowl Revival is touring in continued support of its 2017 eponymous release.
Pinky and the Floyd send off the summer concert series in style on Thursday, August 30th. The “Northwest’s Hottest Pink Floyd Tribute Band” puts on an amazing live show that’s both note-for-note and improvisational, but it’s their superb musicianship that sets them apart from other tribute bands. Their energy and stage presence are unprecedented! Pinky offers up a big sound and is an experience not soon forgotten. You can expect albums in their entirety, and a little something from every Floyd genre – from the Syd Barrett years and The Wall, to The Division Bell and everything in between. Tell your friends… and time your buzz. It’s a party!
Town Center park opens at 6pm for each Music in the Mountains concert, with the music starting at 7:15pm. There will be a variety of food and beverage vendors, as well as an arts activity tent for kids. Please be aware that NO dogs are allowed into the concert area. Please check the Arts Council of Big Sky website for additional details.
