Norris Hot Springs is a place to soak and relax, but it’s also a great live music venue with a rotating schedule of performers. The month of August is no different! Jacob Cummings will showcase his singer/songwriter abilities on Friday, September 18th.
Cummings is a 24 year old guitar/singer/songwriter from Everett, WA. His music falls under the blues/pop genre with the easy listening feel, compared to John Mayer and Jack Johnson. Jacob is traveling to promote his first EP “Hopeless Love Songs,” featuring jazz/blues guitar chord progressions and soft/soothing vocals. Welcome him for his first gig on the Poolside Stage! Tevin Apedaile will bring his contemporary acoustic set to the stage on Saturday, September 19th. Apedaile has a very unique style that sets him apart from other artists. His style can be best described as a mixture between Jack Johnson and John Mayer. This results from influences such as Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, Stevie Wonder, as well as contemporary artists like Gary Clark Jr, Passenger and Michael Bublé. Lang Termes will perform Sunday, September 20th. Termes grew up with a visual artist father and spent summers touring with his puppeteer mother. He was surrounded by artists, musicians, writers and performers of all description from the day he was born. He has been playing professionally most of his life. His vocal style ranges from mellow folk ballads to growling boogie blues. Lang’s style of song writing, both original music and lyrics, comes deep from the heart, or in some cases, bubbles up from his whimsical sense of irony. His selection of covers ranges from early country blues to the full gambit of contemporary classics.
Roots rock artist Andrea Harsell will wow the audience on Friday, September 25th. From her home base in the beautiful mountains of Western Montana, Andrea Harsell has been bringing her vibrant performing style and exceptional songwriting to audiences around the country for over ten years. With a powerful, supple voice and a passel of outstanding original songs, Andrea is more than just a major talent–she’s a force of nature. Singing, guitar slinging and stomping through country, blues, gospel and rock tunes, her passion for music shines. Aaron Williams will perform Saturday, September 26th. Williams, from rock/reggae band In Walks Bud, will be playing a variety of tunes including rock, folk, reggae, and instrumentals. John Floridis will close out the month with a performance on Sunday, September 27th. With over two decades of performance history in the state, the Missoula recording artist has carved a lasting legacy as one of Montana’s most well known and respected musicians. He’s released seven recordings of bluesy, folk-rock vocal tunes with adventurous solo acoustic guitar pieces, including the 2013 release “Live From 11th and Grant.”
The CD is the soundtrack from his Emmy award winning performance on the Montana PBS program of the same name. He is also the producer and host of the award winning program “Musician’s Spotlight” on Montana Public Radio. Norris Hot Springs is located outside of Norris, Montana off of route 84. Every performance starts at 7 pm. Cover is $9 and includes a hot dip in the pool. •
