Live music returns to Sacajawea patio, Diamond & Jackson Holte downstairs
A nature-filled day trip to Missouri Headwaters State Park can really only be topped with a stop into the Sacajawea Hotel. The historic Three Forks venue is perfect for dinner, drinks and dancing every weekend! Enjoy a fine dining experience in Pompey’s Grill followed by a night on the dance floor in the Sac Bar. Here’s a look at some of the upcoming acts.
Sugar Daddies bring all the favorites on Saturday, June 1st. This Montana-based trio has been performing in various venues around Southwest Montana since 2012. While the gist of their material is popular rock n’ roll, country, oldies, R&B and blues, they also have an extensive arsenal of original songs, all of which are palatable, as well as an array of lesser-known but still great songs by both obscure and well-known artists/songwriters. Their main focus is variety, and they half-jokingly have a motto of “No request left behind.”
Diamond take the stage Friday, June 7th. The sprightly duo of Colette and Kenny Diamond bring a unique and engaging musical experience, with a song selection from today’s hits, country, classic rock, R&B, and crowd pleasing sing-alongs. Colette – kicking bass, playing piano, percussion, and vocals – brings a level of entertainment that lights up the room. Kenny, the second half of the popular duo, often straps on an electric guitar and delivers renditions of classic ‘70s and ‘80s guitar riffs. Kenny’s sound is big, and Diamond plays songs you do not expect to come out of a two-piece.
Jackson Holte & the Highway Patrol follows on Saturday, June 8th. The Missoula-based rock n’ roll band is fronted by Holte, whose blend of earthy narrative songwriting and soaring blues guitar playing is complemented by Marko “The Midnight Shadow” Capoferri on bass, Tyson Gerhardt on guitar, and Brian Tremper on drums. With a firm grounding in America’s folk traditions, the band is able to bound across genres in an authentic and emotive re-imagining of what a working rock n’ roll band can be.
BE the entertainment with Sunrise Karaoke on Friday, June 14th. Bring your favorite songs and get ready to impress – or at least give it your best shot! You haven’t done karaoke until you’ve done it with Sunrise.
Comstock Lode returns with a lively performance on Saturday, June 15th. Bozeman’s best classic rock n’ roll and country western band plays covers from the ‘60s through the ‘00s. Creedence, Eagles, Green Day, Grand Funk, Elvis, Skynard, Beatles, Nirvana, Cash, George Strait, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Merle Haggard – just wait a couple minutes and you’ll hear an old or new favorite.
Also in Three Forks, the Sacajawea’s famous Patio Jam Session & Open Mic Nights return for the summer months on June 6th at 6:30pm. Bring your music, lyrics, talent and friends to the Sacajawea on Thursday nights. Each event will be hosted by local and semi-famous singer/songwriters. You can perform original or cover music, play an impromptu jam session, or just listen and enjoy! Food and drinks will be available all evening. An additional Jam Session & Open Mic Night is set for June 13th at 6:30pm.
With the exception of the Jam Sessions, Sac live music begins at 9pm. The Sacajawea Hotel is located at 5 N Main in Three Forks. For more information about these events, visit www.sacajaweahotel.com or call (406) 285-6515. •
