John Moreland w/ Georgia Maq
Wednesday, October 14 // Doors at 7:00 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $25 ADV // $30 DOS Georgia Maq became something of a local hero as the leader of revered punk trio Camp Cope, calling out music industry sexism over fearsome indie rock salvos while garnering widespread international acclaim. In late 2019, Maq surprised everyone by releasing her solo debut, Pleaser, a refreshingly bright and catchy missive of electro-pop tunes about heartbreak and love. A suite of singles in ‘Someone Stranger’ with Alice Ivy, ‘Joe Rogan’, ‘tropical lush ice’ and live EP recorded at the Sydney Opera House showcase the breadth of her taste and range. Ever since, Georgia has chased a more genuine form of pop music in her solo career, a vision hat retains all of the glamour and universality but feels unburdened from capitalist underpinnings. Mining the evergreen themes of romantic, sexual and self-love, Georgia Maq’s solo venture was not so much a transformation as it was a revelation. Opening up on her vulnerabilities and heartbreaks, her continued evolution is far beyond the Greek girl from Naarm that first set fire to the rain.

Deadharrie
Wednesday, July 8 // Doors at 7:00 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $12 // $15-$20 Artist Supporter Like a train glued to the tracks by its sheer weight and inertia, Deadharrie chugs on relentlessly. In the age of quick fixes and short attention spans, Harrie counters with lyric heavy, chronicles of love and longing, addiction, and the reconciliation of death in its many forms. Wrapping up his ninth studio LP in 2026, solo singer songwriter William Harries has no plans of slowing down, or hastening his pace for that matter. He simply wishes to sink further into his rhythm, honing his craft the old fashioned way. Songwriting in its truest form, impervious to the pressures of the modern world and self promoting nature of the music industry.
Jeffrey Foucault
Thursday, September 17 // Doors at 7:00 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $25 ADV // $30 DOS In two decades on the road Jeffrey Foucault has become one of the most distinctive voices in American music, refining a sound instantly recognizable for its simplicity and emotional power. With a string of critically acclaimed studio albums – “Stark, literate songs that are as wide open as the landscape of his native Midwest” (The New Yorker), “Beat-up troubadour folk whittled to dolorous perfection” (Uncut), “Songwriting Brilliance,” (Irish Times) – he’s built a brick-and-mortar international touring career and a devoted following, one that includes luminaries like Van Dyke Parks, Greil Marcus, and Don Henley. In September of 2024 Jeffrey Foucault released THE UNIVERSAL FIRE (Fluff & Gravy, 9/6/24), his first album of entirely new material since 2018. A series of high-voltage performances cut live in one room, the album is both a working wake – Foucault lost his best friend and drummer Billy Conway, to cancer in 2021 – and a meditation on the nature of beauty, artifact, and loss. Augmenting Foucault’s all-star band with members of Calexico and Bon Iver (drummer John Convertino and producer/saxophonist Mike Lewis) THE UNIVERSAL FIRE sets Conway’s death against the massive 2008 fire at the Universal Studios lot in California that destroyed the master recordings of some of our bedrock American music, to interrogate ideas about mortality, legacy, meaning, and calling.
Icarus & Witch Bitch w/ Serpentina, & Look Busy
Tuesday, June 30 // Doors at 7 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $12 // $15-$20 Artist Supporter Icarus is a Rock band based in Bozeman, MT. The band shares a deep passion for jamming and creating unique art. Their influences include Kyuss, Primus, and a hint of Bob Marley. Icarus has a knack for conjuring diverse soundscapes, described by some as a thrashy Black Sabbath. Their first album Elysian Sun was released in April of 2025. Spotify Witch Bitch is Doom Surf from Bozeman, MT. Their brand of Cadaver Rock induces immediate Corpse Effluvium. Serpentina is a new Missoula rawk band. Big drums, big fuzz, big guitars, big vocals. No big deal. Punk-metal-other-stuff influenced if you need to split hairs. Shuffled and reshuffled from an endless stack of blank paper, scribbled with a thousand thoughtless notes, and emerging from a dramatic cloud of chalk dust, Missoula’s LOOK BUSY (Ken Grinde, Matt Riley, Johannah Kohorst, Drew Fetherolf) meld driving pop and lofty ballads to achieve new dimensions of appearing businesslike and occupied.

Salt and Shadow w/ Wes Urbaniak
Saturday, July 11 // Doors at 7:00 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $12 // $15-$20 Artist Supporter Fronted by two female vocalists whose voices weave and harmonize throughout each song, Salt & Shadow is anchored by atmospheric guitars, cinematic textures, and a cello that doesn’t sit in the background…it sings alongside them. The result is hypnotic, heavy, and deeply spiritual, echoing the moody expanse of Pink Floyd, the harmonic richness of Fleetwood Mac, and the emotional unease of Radiohead. Wes Urbaniak is an amalgamation of songwriting, storytelling and unique craftsmanship. His music is real, honest, bold and a little odd in the best way possible. The experiences of his life have created stories through his songs. He pushes the limits within the human mind while opening up the possibilities for the human spirit to explore what’s dwelling within. His whole world is a wonderfully delirious imagination rendered into reality. It’s quite difficult to describe the beauty within which he lives and creates – it is something that must be experienced in real time. Wes lives in a yurt, in a forest, on an island in the Yellowstone River, and is surrounded by the mountains of Montana with his 100% adorable pup, Wilbur. His shop and studio are also on the island where he lives, wanders, and pokes at the nature of the curious mind. In the shop, he builds instruments primarily from reclaimed sources (100+ year old pianos / Red Rock Amphitheater Benches / naturally felled trees). In the studio, and wandering the island in the many hours of each day, he has learned to pull the strings around on most stringed instruments. His mind hears symphonies, his heart (Coyote) drives him to create them by pulling the whole world through his Spirit (Ala) and into a form of art, music, poetry, and dreams pushed into reality. Here we go Bearishly into what comes next…
