This outfit could play two hours of blues, rock, jazz or country in their sleep. Clementine and Katko play Americana like no duo in Western Montana.

He met Montana raised singer-songwriter Hannah Clemenson one night in San Francisco and the pair has made musical magic ever since. With a setlist sprinkled with originals and covers ranging from Guy Clark to Pink Floyd, the jury is still out whether they play something for everybody, or nothing for nobody.   Table with multiple raffle items, win yourself some prizes!

Keep an eye on their schedule to see where they are playing near you, and for their debut LP “Lick My Soul”. Bandcamp   Apocalipstick is a relatively new art punk band from Missoula, Montana. They incorporate a myriad of styles into our sound such as new wave, glam, blues, and even a little country twang. They love performing and we try to put as much energy as humanly possible into our live shows. Bandcamp
