The Eagles, a decades-long mainstay in downtown Bozeman, draws a diverse crowd. From cowboys to ski bums to college kids, you can witness nearly every demographic on a typical night. They host live music, karaoke, serve inexpensive drinks, and as always, have unlimited free peanuts!
Here’s a look at what’s coming up. Laney Lou & the Bird Dogs and Hawthorne Roots will together help ring in the New Year, Thursday, December 31st at 9pm in the Eagles Ballroom. Advance tickets to this show are $12 in advance at Cactus or $15 at the door. Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs have been playing their brand of foot-stompin’ folk music since November of 2013. Their raw and raucous sound is rooted in old traditional folk tunes, but draws influences from hard rock, old country, and modern music. Comprised of 4 members with an array of personalities and musical backgrounds, the Bird Dogs are sure to put on a high energy, foot-tapping show that will leave you sweaty and smiling.
Emma and Madeline front the Bozeman band Hawthorne Roots and will perform an acoustic set of folk favorites. Their sassy original material pulls from pop, rock, and country genres. Joey Fender & the 55’s will perform in the Eagles Bar on New Year’s Eve, Thursday, December 31st. The old school rock ‘n’ rollers are sure to put on an awesome show fit only for a New Year’s celebration.
Come check them out! The Mighty Flick will take the stage on Friday, January 8th. Instructions: Pre-heat the dance floor to a cozy temperature. In a large bowl, combine a generous mix of classic rock and roll and eighties dance hits, sprinkle with modern alternative rock, add a dash of country swing, and top with some Gen-X pop inspiration. Blend on high until the vibe is exciting and the groove is irresistible, then bake until the songs are tight and punchy. Turn down the lights, serve with cocktails and dancing shoes, and you have a great evening of live music and entertainment! Serves as many as you please… Flick is a three-piece, high-energy dance band whose members are familiar faces of the Montana music scene.
Performing throughout Montana venues since the late eighties/early nineties, their enthusiasm and love for music is contagious, sometimes inspirational, and always entertaining. Joey Fender & the 55’s will return to the Eagles stage on Friday, January 15th for those who may have missed the New Year’s show. The Bridger Mountain Big Band performs every Sunday from 7:30-9pm. The 17-piece jazz orchestra celebrates the music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and more, with original arrangements and music of all genres from the 1900’s to today. You don’t have to be in a band to have talent! Showcase your musical stylings at Open Mic Night every Wednesday. Be sure to show up early to sign up and get some liquid confidence! Performances start at 8pm. Sunrise Entertainment brings the fun of karaoke and DJ music every Thursday at 9pm. The Eagles also hosts Margarita Mondays and BINGO every Friday.
