Rockin’ roots of MudSlide Charley, songwriter Kristin Lundell entertain at Eagles
The sun may be setting earlier and earlier but happy hour isn’t going anywhere! Enjoy an end-of-day drink at Downtown Bozeman’s Eagles Bar. The local watering hole features drink specials, Friday night BINGO and burgers, as well as regular live music by local musicians and visiting acts. Here’s a look at who’s playing at FOE in the coming weeks.
First up is Neil Filo Beddow with a midweek show on Wednesday, September 18th at 8pm. He plays original folk rock for the soul, and describes his guitar style as the “West Dakota stutter.” His lyrically scrambled iambic pentameter can be politically bent, spiritually seeking, and tongue-in-cheek humorous with just a twist of serious.
Missoula-based MudSlide Charley will bring their house-rockin’ roots music to Bozeman on Friday and Saturday, September 20th and 21st. From its first sparks in 2004, the band has continued to ignite and morph over the years into what is now a five-piece powerhouse. The band draws its inspiration from a more antiquated era, when Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker first fused the rough and rural vibes of southern acoustic blues with modern electric instruments. MudSlide Charley weaves their blues foundation with Stax-era R&B, hip-hop, and indie rock to perform original songs that bristle with vital relevance, emotional fervor, and soul-drenched blues.
Kristin Lundell follows on Wednesday, September 25th at 8pm. The local singer/songwriter and guitarist performs catchy, melodic rock originals inspired by the likes of Veruca Salt, Juliana Hatfield, and The Beatles. She’ll also have the audience singing along as she puts her spit on hits that span the decades.
Tsunami Funk will take the stage Friday and Saturday, September 27th and 28th. The Bozeman-favorite group always packs the dance floor with Funk/R&B-rocking grooves. Tsunami Funk plays tunes from artists like Stevie Wonder, Pharrell Williams, Bruno Mars, Red Hot Chili Peppers, James Brown, Earth Wind & Fire, Sly & the Family Stone, Kool & the Gang, Van Morrison, Steely Dan, Bob Marley, and many more! Tsunami Funk is Eddie T, Luke Flansburg, Nate Anderson, David Charles, and Isaiah Morales.
There’s no better Thirsty Thursday than one with Sunrise Karaoke, setting up at FOE every week at 9pm. Sing your heart out, cheer on your friends and maybe even do a dance number between songs!
Bridger Mountain Big Band performs regularly on Sundays from 7–9:30pm. The 17-piece jazz orchestra celebrates the music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and more, with original arrangements and music of all genres from the 1900s to today. Check them out on Facebook for performance announcements.
Eagles Bar live music begins at 9pm, unless otherwise noted. Head downtown to play a game of pool, listen to some great local bands, or stop in for a cold one any day of the week! The Eagles is located at 316 E Main. •
