Tom Catmull, Christy Hays heat up Hot Springs’ stage, among others
Tom Catmull’s Last Resort
Soak in or outside at longtime (natural) hot spot, Bozeman Hot Springs. The local destination for residents and visitors is also home to weekly live music from the pool-adjacent outdoor stage. Regional and traveling musicians perform on regular Thursday and Sunday nights at 7pm. Here’s a look at who’s coming up.
Missoula-based Tom Catmull’s Last Resort perform their brand of blues-rock on Sunday, November 17th. The band brings an impressive amount of energy and musicianship to each of their shows. Featured on “11th & Grant with Eric Funk” and winners of countless awards, this four-piece has been impressing audiences for many years.
Texas-based traveling musician Christy Hays follows on Thursday, November 21st. She’s been compared to legendary folk-rock artists like Lucinda Williams, Rhett Miller, Kathleen Edwards and Patty Griffin but has a sound uniquely her own. Bringing a mix of Americana with folk and country tinges, thoughtfully penned stories and a full band sound both driving alt country and moody folk rock, her music spans a wide variety of genres. Hays commands the stage wherever she goes, always putting on a great show at the Hot Springs.
Ryan Acker and Lena Schiffer team up for a duo performance on Sunday, November 24th. Starring members of two of the biggest bluegrass/Americana bands in their respective areas, they’ve become staples in the Montana music scene. Acker serves as banjo player for Minnesota-based Americana powerhouse The Last Revel, bringing a wide variety of stringed instruments paired with amazing vocals and original songs. Playing with him is the frontwoman of the legendary Bozeman bluegrass band Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs. The pairing of their amazing musical abilities will make for one amazing show not to be missed.
Opening the final month of 2019 is the 3rd Annual Hot Springs Winter Showcase on Sunday, December 1st from 5:30–10pm. Highlighting some of the best young bands and choirs in the Bozeman area, this event is perfect for getting everyone into the holiday spirit. The roster will feature four bands this year: the R&B funk of MSU’s Safety Katz, Belgrade High Jazz Band, Royal We Jazz Quintet and Rhapsody A Capella.
Kristin Lundell takes the stage on Thursday, December 5th. The local singer/songwriter and guitarist performs catchy, melodic rock originals inspired by the likes of Veruca Salt, Juliana Hatfield, and The Beatles. She’ll also have the audience singing along as she puts her spit on hits that span the decades.
