The Attic, a second-floor bar and performance venue in historic Downtown Livingston, is a MUST for dancers and live music lovers. Here’s a look at some of the upcoming acts.
Two comedy giants in one small town! Comedians Rich Hall and Bill Bailey bring a stand-up routine to Park County on Friday, August 17th at 8pm.
Rightly regarded as one of the funniest comedians, Hall’s straight-talking and acerbic comedy leaves his targets reeling and his audiences in stitches. He is a superb live performer. Hall’s critically acclaimed grouchy, deadpan style has established him as a master of absurdist irony and the king of rapid-fire wit – he’s also the inspiration for the marvelously cantankerous barman, Moe Szyslak, in The Simpsons.
Bill Bailey is a comedian, musician, writer, author, director, presenter and keen stand-up paddle-boarder known for his live shows including “Part Troll,” “Tinselworm,” “Qualmpeddler” and “Limboland,” as well as his work on the television programs Black Books, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and QI. In 2018, Bailey is filming comedy-drama In the Long Run created by Idris Elba for Sky. He continues to tour and develop ideas for film and television with his own production company, Glassbox Productions.
Enjoy the swamp rock/boogie blues sounds of Too Slim & The Taildraggers on Thursday, August 23rd at 8pm. Creating an eclectic style of blues and rock that has become a genre all its own, Tim “Too Slim” Langford’s ever-evolving musical direction cannot easily be classified. His group effortlessly cross genres, flavoring blues with rock and Americana, appealing to audiences of varying musical tastes.
The Waiting are back at The Attic on Friday, August 31st at 8:30pm. The Bozeman-based roadhouse rock n’ roll band celebrates the music of Tom Petty. Not exactly a “cover” or “tribute” band, they’re, in the spirit of The Heartbreakers, first and foremost a BAND: a motley mix of musicians and friends interpreting the songs of one of rock’s greatest legends.
The band’s motto is “We bring the Petty to your town,” and since 2013 they’ve been doing exactly that all across the Treasure State. Whether it’s one of Tom Petty’s smash hits with the Heartbreakers, a sampling from his solo albums, or even a collaboration with the Traveling Wilburys, The Waiting runs the gamut, performing each tune with undeniable, fiery live energy and a devotion to showing each person in the crowd a damn good time.
