Stream the best of Montana music with free 11th & Grant app
Almost remembered as the summer the music stopped, musicians far and wide were able to get innovative and keep it going in at least some capacity. Whether through live-streamed performances or small-scale outdoor performances, the sounds were never muffled.
Though it’ll be some time before we can pack into a concert hall with a state-of-the-art sound system, there’s still a way to enjoy local talent from afar. All episodes of MontanaPBS’s signature music series, 11th & Grant, are streaming now.
Recent features include the energetic soul of Paige & the People’s Band, rustic stompgrassers Laney Lou & the Bird Dogs, organist Matthew O’Sullivan, groove salsa of John Roberts y Pan Blanco, jazzy funk trio Betty Jane and classical stringmaster Gregory Young. These episodes, and those from back seasons, are free to stream from the comfort of your quarantine.
11th & Grant with Eric Funk is the premier outlet for music performance in Montana, seeking out the state’s most acclaimed, accomplished, and pioneering talent. The Emmy®-winning performance series also devotes significant time to each artist’s personal story, insights into their music and their approach to life, ultimately providing a deeper experience than a seat at a concert. Accomplished composer and musician Eric Funk serves as host and artistic director, hand selecting each performer from communities around the state to form a diverse series featuring genres from jazz to classical, country to zydeco, and rock to fusion.
Previous episodes of 11th & Grant are available to stream anytime at www.11thandgrant.com or on the 11th & Grant app. •
