‘Music on Main’ wraps with energetic Rad Trads, Outer Vibe
The Downtown Bozeman Association is proud to present the 19th Annual Music on Main Summer Concert Series in historic Downtown Bozeman. Music on Main festivities take place on Main Street between Rouse and Black Ave. on Thursday evenings, with the music running from 7–8:30pm.
Brooklyn five-piece The Rad Trads follow on Thursday, August 8th. The globe-trotting group’s singular take on rock n’ roll mixes punk rock energy, horn drenched soul, and jazz precision, all with a lighthearted but sincere delivery. The Trads have quickly gained a reputation as one of New York’s most entertaining live acts. Their unique genre-bending stylings bring an American feeling that consistently win over audiences with relentless energy, charisma, and enthusiasm. They never fail to draw their audiences in, unable to stop dancing, and always leave wanting more. Their latest release, On Tap, is available now.
Nashville-based Outer Vibe close out the series on Thursday, August 15th. The trio’s singular mission is to make rock n’ roll fun again by incorporating the best elements of 90s pop, swagger rock, reggae, feel-good anthems, and hip-hop. Bassist Sean Zuidgeest’s powerful, yet sometimes delicate vocals echo the best of Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant, while Lisa Kacos (drums) and Nick Hosford (guitar) punch hard and groove effortlessly as the band’s genre-defying powerhouse rhythm section. Recently, the group has focused on refining their sound with legendary producer David Kahne (Regina Spektor, Sublime, The Strokes, Lana Del Rey, Imogen Heap, Paul McCartney) on a series of singles, including the newly released “Turn Me Up.”
Bring the kids from 6:30–8pm for the Coca Cola “Kids’ Zone” on South Bozeman Ave. which will feature bouncy houses, hula hooping, and more! Grab a bite to eat from one of the many rotating food vendors, step into a few of the downtown stores that’ll be open late, and of course, enjoy outstanding live music from popular local and touring bands. While Music on Main features an open container waiver, attendees are reminded that NO glass and aluminum containers or coolers are allowed in the event area. These are smoke and vape-free, family friendly evenings. Please leave the pets at home.
Music on Main is a FREE community event hosted by the Downtown Bozeman Association and funded by its many generous business sponsorships. Please visit www.downtownbozeman.org to learn more about the 2019 series. •
