Latin fusion group BoZambique play for pizzeria patrons Saturday, August 25th at 7pm. The band performs percussive-centric melodies driven by world-infused rhythm and blues.

The Dirt Farmers perform on Sunday, August 26th at 6pm. They’re a foot-stomping string band who have dubbed their musical style “paisley grass.” They’ve gained a following for their fun-loving mix of old school country, bluegrass, blues and rock – with the occasional slip into hip-hop. The band members, as unique as their song list, serve it all up with a smile on mandolin, banjo, guitar, fiddle and bass with vocal harmonies. The Dirt Farmers invite you to be “Having a Good Time” and experience the flavor and fun of Montana life.
Enjoy the sounds of Paul Cataldo on Monday, August 27th. The Americana singer/songwriter developed his backwoods wilderness-inspired Americana while living in Asheville, NC through his late ‘20s and early ‘30s. He now records and tours with wife and bandmate, Leva. Together they sing songs and tell stories about everything from alcoholism, war, poverty and jealousy, all the way down the road to songs of peace and love. Paul’s latest release, Wild & Free, is available now.
Weston Lewis is set for Tuesday, August 28th at 7pm. Lewis currently plays in The Vibe Quartet, Cat’s Bananas, solo performances, and as a sit-in lead guitarist for artists including The Andrew Hand Band, John Sherrill, The Electric Sunday, Lang Termes, Mathias, and MOTH.
