With the fall feeling settling into Southwest Montana, many of us are looking forward to sweater season. Plan a weekend trip to Chico Hot Springs for a chance to soak the joints, feast on some delicious grub and enjoy live music in the Saloon. Here’s what’s coming up this month.
Veterans of the local live music scene, Brandon Hale & the Dirty Shame are back at it on September 12th and 13th. The outlaw country band has been a staple of the Montana live music scene for decades, known for their cutting originals and unique spins on songs by the likes of Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash, among others. Their recent album aptly titled The Dirty Shame is available now.
Local rockstars Tsunami Funk deliver on Sept. 19th and 20th. The Bozeman-favorite group always packs the dance floor with Funk/R&B-rocking grooves. They play tunes from artists like Stevie Wonder, Pharrell Williams, Bruno Mars, Red Hot Chili Peppers, James Brown, Earth Wind & Fire, Sly & the Family Stone, Kool & the Gang, Van Morrison, Steely Dan, Bob Marley and more.
The following weekend features the return of Justin Case Band, performing Sept. 26th and 27th. The ‘70s to ‘90s rock band covers tunes ranging from the Allman Brothers and Three Dog Night, to Stone Temple Pilots and Pearl Jam.
