On Saturday, November 17th, the last show of Live from the Divide’s 7th season will feature world-class musician, songwriter and winner of the 2017 Telluride Emerging Blues Artist award, Russ Chapman, at 8pm. Tickets are $25 plus fees in benefit of Support Local Artists & Musicians (SLAM). Doors at 7pm.
The local singer/songwriter brings a strong sense of wit and a weak sense of sentimentality to nearly every song he writes. From numbers like “Exercise Your Demons,” where the narrator laments on aging and innocence, to “Jesus on the Beach,” an exploration of immigration, identity, and mild-mannered hypocrisy, Mr. Chapman will only sing a love song if it involves his deep affection for metaphor. As he said in his TEDx Bozeman presentation on songwriting, “I never met a metaphor I didn’t like.” Indeed. Be prepared for a memorable evening of words and music.
Tickets are sold at the door, but these small shows are known to sell out quickly! Tickets are available at Cactus Records or www.cactusrecords.net. Live is located at 627 E Peach St. in Bozeman. Visit www.livefromthedivide.com for additional information. •
