Sun sets on downtown street concert series
Following a month of incredible performances that crowded the streets usually reserved for commuters, there’s still time to enjoy a show in the heart of town. The Downtown Bozeman Association continues to present the 22nd annual Music on Main summer concert series in historic Downtown Bozeman in the coming weeks. Music on Main festivities will take place on Main Street between Rouse and Black Ave. on Thursday evenings, August 4th and 11th. The music begins at 7pm and runs until 8:30pm.
Eclectic funky Cole & the Thornes take the stage Aug. 4th. The mountain-island-infused soul band is a modern funk group that blends sultry vocals, gypsy-jazz guitar, playful horn melodies and reggae-style ukulele for a truly unique sound. Check out their debut album, Mapmaker, and follow-up single “Vagabond” now.
The stage-commanding Brevet close out the series on Aug. 11th. The California five-piece is known for raucous live show and sonic precision of their extensive studio history. Their songs are cinematic, full of rousing choruses and sing-along hooks. The group recently released “Wherever We Go” off their upcoming album, Wanderers.
Bring the kids from 6:30–8pm for the Coca Cola “Kids’ Zone” on South Bozeman Ave. which will feature bouncy houses, hula hooping, and more! Grab a bite to eat from one of the many rotating food vendors, step into a few of the downtown stores that’ll be open late, and of course, enjoy outstanding live music from popular local and touring bands. While Music on Main features an open container waiver, attendees are reminded that NO glass and aluminum containers or coolers are allowed in the event area. These are smoke and vape-free, family friendly evenings. Please leave the pets at home.
Music on Main is a FREE community event hosted by the Downtown Bozeman Association and funded by its many generous business sponsorships. Please visit www.downtownbozeman.org to learn more about the 2022 series. •
