Wednesday warblers: KneeJürk, Hawthorne Duo at Eagles
A local institution for decades, Downtown Bozeman’s Eagles Bar features drink specials, Friday night BINGO and burgers, plus regular live music. Here’s a look at who’s playing at FOE in the coming weeks.
KneeJürk brings a stripped-down show on Wednesday, March 20th beginning at 7pm. The semi-acoustic supersonic Southwest Montana duo incorporates the big band beat, performing the best toe tappin’ sing-alongs from the ‘60s to now.
Close 2 Toast are back with a pair of performances, Friday and Saturday, March 22nd and 23rd. Formed from all the right elements found within the Gallatin Valley comes a band like no other, with songs to warm your heart, make you cry, and dance! Grab a drink and drag your partner out on the floor.
An “unplugged” Hawthorne Roots Duo show is set for Wednesday, March 27th at 7pm. The sister-fronted local Americana rock band is known for its soulful and energetic performances, every lyric sung with passion and authenticity. The band’s music draws inspiration from Fleetwood Mac, Heart, and Sheryl Crow. Defined by their tightly woven harmonies and relentlessly catchy melodies, their “Revved-Up Soul Music” is a distinct and exciting addition to Montana’s scene. Their EP, On Second Thought, is available now.
Closing out the month on Friday and Saturday, March 29th and 30th, check out Reckless Abandon, “four guys keeping the blues alive.” The four-piece is comprised of Mark Eaton (guitar), Cole “The Breeze” Homan (guitar), Matthew Wintersteen (bass, guitar), and Gilles “G” Viallon (drums, guitar). They’re a blues, rock, and jazz fusion experience that spans the generations.
Bridger Mountain Big Band performs regularly on Sundays from 7–9:30pm. 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 1900s to today. Check them out on Facebook (@TheBridgerMountainBigBand) for performance announcements.
Eagles Bar live music begins at 9pm, unless otherwise noted. Come play a game of pool, listen to some great local bands, or stop in for a cold one any day of the week! The Eagles is located at 316 E Main St., next to the Nova Café. For more information, call (406) 587-9996. •
