Spring tours bring variety of national acts to ELM stage
The ELM continues to pack its midtown stage this spring with genre-varying artists as touring season revs up. Take a look at these upcoming shows and plan your outings accordingly.
Rising star Yola brings her “Stand for Myself Tour” with Jac Ross to Bozeman on April 7th. Music starts at 8pm. Advance tickets are $25.
Produced by Dan Auerbach, the anthemic new album is a sophisticated and diverse sonic mix of symphonic soul and classic pop, tracing an expansive musical thread to Yola’s most eclectic musical inspirations. Yola’s inimitable vocals share nuanced stories of allyship, black feminine strength through vulnerability, collective awakening and loving connection from the sexual to the social. Yola declares that it is only when we stand for ourselves, and acknowledge our complexity, that we can be truly alive.
Yola
Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Sarah Jarosz follows on April 11th. Ric Robertson opens the show at 8pm. Advance tickets start at $30.
With her captivating voice and richly detailed songwriting, Jarosz has emerged as one of the most compelling musicians of her generation. A multiple Grammy Award-winner, the Texas native has released numerous acclaimed solo albums and is also a member of folk trio I’m With Her alongside Sara Watkins and Aoife O’Donovan. Jarosz’s latest released World on the Ground and Blue Heron Suite are out now.
All That Remains is on the road as part of their “Fall of Ideals 15th Anniversary Tour” with Miss May I, Varials and Tallah. The music starts at 6:30pm. Advance tickets start at $28.
Since their formation in Massachusetts during 1998, All That Remains have built an undeniable legacy upheld by airtight songcraft, knifepoint precise metallic instrumentation, and stadium-size hard rock hooks. As a result, they’ve outlasted trials, tribulations, and trends to stand tall as as one of this century’s most consistent purveyors of heavy music with a bulletproof canon of arena-worthy anthems. The anniversary show will see the band performing their album The Fall of Ideals in its entirety.
Check out the Portland Cello Project on April 15th. The music starts at 8pm with openers Purple Reign. Advance tickets are $30.
This alt-classical ensemble will turn the evening purple, blending their deep textures with the unique harmonic landscape of the artistic power of Prince. Joined by musicians who have worked with Prince such as Saeeda Wright and Tyrone Hendrix, expect a lively evening of diversely-curated music that influenced or was influenced by The Purple One. Crafted through the wildly innovative arrangements that have made Cello Project a perennial favorite all over the world, PCP brings Bach to Beck alongside classic Prince tributes all without missing a beat.
Vince Neil Emerson warms up the audience for Charley Crockett on April 16th. Show starts at 8pm. Ticketing information available through the venue website.
The chameleonic Crockett has taken the independent approach to releasing his music and creating its accompanying visuals. He visits Bozeman with his collection of originals at the ready – sad, uplifting, hard, and sweet, complex and delicate all at once. His songs are like life its ownself, just like the songs’ creator: like nothing heard or seen before, a genuine Texas original. The fourth in his cover series, Lil G.L. Presents: Jukebox Charley, releases this month.
Mongolian rock group The Hu come to Bozeman as part of their “Black Thunder Tour” with help from the Haunt on April 30th. Music starts at 8pm. Advance tickets are $30.
In 2019, an NPR story put a spotlight on “a band from Mongolia that blends the screaming guitars of heavy metal and traditional Mongolian guttural singing,” accurately highlighting the cultural importance and unique musical identity of The HU. Founded in 2016 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, they are a modern rock group rooted in the tradition of their homeland. Their unique approach blends instruments like the Morin Khuur (horsehead fiddle), Tovshuur (Mongolian guitar), Tumur Khuur (jaw harp) and throat singing with contemporary sounds, creating a unique sonic profile that they call “Hunnu Rock.”
And on May 3rd, chillwave electronic artist Tycho performs. The music begins at 8pm and advance tickets start at $35.
Scott Hansen, the man behind the name, blends swirling melodies into vaguely triumphant arcs that crisscross between stuttering beats and vocal samples, creating rolling sonic landscapes that extend into the horizon. Known in the design world as ISO50, the San Francisco-based artist is famed for his warm, textured design style, which serves as a backdrop and mirror for his musical output. Recent single “Only Love” with Benjamin Gibbard adds to his catalog which includes albums Dive and Awake.
