Nostalgic sounds of Pacific People sandwiched between folksy duos at Wild Joe*s
The first month of a new year is a chance to hit the ground running with a fresh outlook, and Downtown Bozeman’s Wild Joe*s is ready to caffeinate those looking to tackle annual resolutions. The Coffee Spot offers a delicious variety of beverages as well as bites to go with. It’s also home to regular live acoustics by local and traveling artists. Here’s a look at what’s coming up.
Folk and bluegrass foursome Pacific People bring a show on Friday, January 24th from 6–8pm. Hailing from the Pac Northwest and Rocky Mountains of Colorado, the Bozeman band draws inspiration from Bob Dylan, the Avett Brothers, Josh Ritter, Hozier, and traditional old time music, among others. The lineup includes lead vocalist Quinn Krause, Matt Hickey (banjo, vocals), Gabby Rizzo (guitar, mandolin) and Sean Milhalko (cajon). With a warm and nostalgic sound, Pacific People brings great spirits and a perfect ambience to enjoy with a cozy cup of coffee.
Project: Constellation returns on Saturday, January 25th from 6–8pm. Hailing from North Dakota, the original acoustic folk/rock and punk duo is comprised of singer/songwriters Christina Rosebrough (violin) and Santiago Silva (guitar). The pair enjoys traveling and performing at new places and supporting local music scenes. Recent single “Up and Down These Roads” is available now.
Ashley Ross opens a new month on Saturday, February 1st from 6–8pm. She’s a Montana-born folk musician dedicated to inspiring and encouraging people through heartfelt original lyrics. She grew up in Bozeman, and has always loved being outdoors. She receives much of her inspiration and “creative juices” from being out in God’s creation. Ross writes her songs based on personal experience and the stories of people around her. While she enjoys performing, she hopes that the message of her songs reaches beyond just one night and can touch those that hear them with truth, Jesus’ love, and with hope. Her album, Beautifully Broken, is available now.
