Capping an incredible season of outdoor shows, Bridger Brewing’s summer concert series sets up at its Three Forks amphitheater for a trio of upcoming concerts.
Head out for the two-night Bridger BrewGrass fest on Friday and Saturday, August 9th and 10th. Gates open at 6pm prior to the 7pm shows. Get ready for a toe-tapping, banjo-plucking and fiddle-flying extravaganza.
Night one will feature legendary ensemble The Infamous Stringdusters and the sensational Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway. The stage will come alive with the infectious energy of bluegrass as Tuttle and her band take the spotlight. With her soulful voice and nimble fingers, she effortlessly weaves together traditional melodies with modern sensibilities, captivating the audience with each strum and pluck. Renowned for their boundary-pushing sound and electrifying performances, the Stringdusters are sure to ignite the crowd with their blend of traditional bluegrass roots and innovative musical explorations.
Night Two will include music from Yonder Mountain String Band, Railroad Earth and Leftover Salmon. With their unparalleled musicianship and infectious enthusiasm, Yonder Mountain has been pushing the boundaries of bluegrass for over two decades. Railroad Earth are the masters of improvisation and pioneers of progressive bluegrass. With their eclectic blend of folk, rock and Americana influences, they create a sonic tapestry that transports listeners to another realm, where the boundaries of genre blur and the music flows freely. Leftover Salmon is a powerhouse of roots music that effortlessly blends bluegrass, rock, country and more into a sound uniquely their own. With infectious energy and irresistible grooves, the band is sure to have the crowd on their feet from the first note to the last.
Closing out the month, Kitchen Dwellers deliver tunes from their new album, Seven Devils, on Saturday, August 31st. Show starts at 7pm. In Dante’s Inferno, the author grapples with sin, its various manifestations, and its consequences. This time ultimately traces a trajectory of self-realization, acceptance and accountability. Kitchen Dwellers embark on a similar odyssey over the course of their fourth full-length offering, Seven Devils. The Montana quartet – Shawn Swain (mandolin), Torrin Daniels (banjo), Joe Funk (upright bass) and Max Davies (acoustic guitar) – thread together an immersive and inimitable conceptual arc inspired by Dante’s Inferno and set to a soundtrack of folk-infused bluegrass spiked with psychedelic vision and rock energy.
And looking to next month, Greensky Bluegrass perform on Sept. 10th. Known for their live performances and relentless touring schedule, the fivesome are connected through a deep bond, a band of brothers who have seen each other through decades of ups and downs, collective highlights and the moments when life turns it all upside down. The band embraces tradition while ushering bluegrass forward on their eighth full-length offering, Stress Dreams.
