The next Open Mic Night will take place saturday, November 24th from 6–8pm. Come for an evening of music performed by local musicians. Bring your guitar, sitar, zither, poetry, comedy, or theremin and take a turn up at the mic. Show Bozeman what you’re made of! Individual set lengths depend on the number of musicians who want to play. Sign-ups start at 5:30pm – first come, first served. Be sure to bring your friends and support live music in Bozeman! A modest contribution to the kitty will be divided by participating musicians at the end of the night. The more people who come, the more money in the pot.
San Francisco modern folk/jazz duo The Singer and The Songwriter stop by Wild Joe*s during their fall tour on Sunday, November 4th from 1–3pm. Rachel Garcia and Thu Tran create music as vibrant and diverse as their multiracial backgrounds. Since 2012, they’ve released three critically acclaimed albums, charted on the CMJ Top 40 Radio charts, and toured nationally. Garcia’s rich, warm vocal delivery and Tran’s dynamic guitar arrangements provide the backbone for original songs that blend swinging jazz, soulful blues, heartfelt folk and modern, honest songwriting to create a unique and compelling sound.
“Garcia’s voice [is] rich and mellow, strong and elegant, delicate and turbulent, all at the same time. Candidly, it’s one of the best female voices around.” – The Huffington Post
“The duo creates soft melodic songs, that could just as easily exist as poems. Beautiful and full of soul and emotion, the quaint pair swept the audience away; first time listeners and long-term fans.” – Playlist Play

Nashville singer/songwriter Sam Varga will perform on Friday, November 16th from 6–8pm. Coming from the fast paced punk scenes of his high school days to the blues of Austin, Texas, Varga always felt most at home writing honest songs on an acoustic guitar. Since moving to Nashville, he’s dug into the songwriting community, playing writer rounds across the city, and such staples as Whiskey Jam and BusCall. Varga’s sonic qualities bring to mind Jackson Browne, Ruston Kelly, Bright Eyes, and the 1975.
Wild Joe*s Coffee Spot is located at 18 W Main St. in the heart of historic Downtown Bozeman. Learn more about these and other upcoming events at www.wildjoescoffee.com. •
