The Montana Slim String Band is will be at the Top Hat tonight, February 9th for the second night in a row. You may have read Pastor Tim’s post about their show at his church this past Saturday night. Well the word is out that these folks are good. Come see for yourself tonight. You won’t miss Pinegrass because you’ll be seeing them Friday night, right?
Two great bands will be playing in Missoula on Friday night, February 19. First, Alaska” Bearfoot (formerly known as Bearfoot Bluegrass) will be playing the University Theater at 8 PM. Then, Head for the Hills will be playing at the Badlander that same evening with Cottonwood Draw opening. I’m told that Head for the Hills will not be starting until after Bearfoot ends so there is no need to miss any music or not go to both shows. Head for the Hills hails from the Front Range of Colorado where they have been gaining steam and musical prowess for the last couple of years. Drew Emmitt of Leftover Salmon fame produced their brand new CD that they are really quite proud of. We in Missoula are lucky to have two great bands playing in town on one night.
Don’t miss it.

Note from Bob: Every once in awhile one discovers an artist that is new to them that just blows you away with their music. In 2007, for me it was Pete Kartsounes, who just recently headlined our first house concert. In 2008, it was Jessica Kilroy. Molly and I, along with 2,500 other folks, came to know Jessica’s music at the Northwest String Summit outside of Portland, OR. Jessica not only won the band contest (with Jack Ausick and Missoulian Nate Beihl) but impressed the crowd with her engaging songwriting and amazing voice.  I find words hard to come by when describing how good she is so I’ll quote our good friend, John Lowell: “To invite comparison of Jessica Kilroy’s voice and music to another singer/songwriter would sell it short. Comparing it to someone familiar would not be enough, because her voice is her own. Clear, accurate and wonderfully soothing, her voice draws the listener in. Stop, then listen. You’ll be a fan too.” You have the rare chance to see Jessica in an intimate setting at this upcoming house concert. Don’t miss it.

Please RSVP for this show to the phone number or email address above, as space will be very limited. Molly and I pride ourselves on attracting only top shelf riffraff and so, for all practical purposes, this includes you! But in order to make this work, it is important to call ahead or email us to reserve your spot. This event is also BYOB and a $10 donation to the artist would be most appreciated

Cheers,
