Regals (Solo Show) w/ Rancher
Sunday, February 1 // Door at 7:00 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $10 // $15-$20 Artist Supporter Regals is an alt-country, americana rock band hailing from New Hampshire and Maine. Songwriter Rock Egan brings a powerful, harrowing voice to his heavy-hearted songwriting. He’s complimented by the rest of his band, holding it down with a machine of a rhythm section and a cosmic swirl of pedal steel & angular guitars. Ranging comparisons of bands like Lucero, Country Westerns and Deer Tick to acts like Jason Molina and Replacements have gotten the band more traction as of late as they’re set to self-release their first LP record in 2025. Current line up is singer/songwriter Ryan Rock Egan, Sean Merkle on drums, Chris J Brün on lead guitar, Mike Vinci on bass/vocals, and Lucas Troy on pedal steel. https://open.spotify.com/artist/5UY51v6JPg9n46mMzecLKb Rancher makes rock and roll music in Missoula, Montana. Rancher is made up of Shane Coburn, David Friedlander, and Russ Rabut. Rancher loves Indie music and Country and Boogie and has a cool, laid-back sound.

Briscoe w/ Wells Ferarri
Saturday, January 31 // $20 ADV // $22 DOS // Doors at 7 PM // Show at 8 PM If Briscoe’s debut album was a coming-of-age soundtrack set against the backdrop of the Texas Hill Country, then its follow-up, Heat of July, is the sound of a fully-formed duo chasing down a broader horizon. Inspired by marriage, landscapes, and the cross-country tours that took the band across America, these new songs were written on the road, as eclectic and evocative as the terrain that unfolded just outside the van’s windshield. Once again, Briscoe teamed up with Grammy-nominated producer Brad Cook to bring the songs to life, collaboratively creating a record that expands Briscoe’s folk-rock sound in all directions. There are bigger arrangements, sharper vocal harmonies, and enough top-tier guest musicians — including members of Houndmouth, Hiss Golden Messenger, Bon Iver, Mipso, and Watchhouse — to form their own supergroup. The result is a cinematic, widescreen version of American roots music, created by two lifelong friends who’ve learned to distill the thrill of the open road — and the challenges of growing up — into an ever-evolving soundtrack. Presale tickets available on Wednesday October 15 at 10 AM General On Sale begins Friday October 17 at 10 AM

Pixie and the Partygrass Boys and Madeline Hawthorne
Saturday, March 21 // Doors at 7 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $15 ADV // $20 DOS The miles we travel make up the stories we tell. The soles of your favorite boots or the tread on your prized car’s tires soak up the experiences and wisdom of the road under your feet. Born in New England, based in Bozeman Montana, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Madeline Hawthorne pens the kind of tunes you listen to on a cross-country trek to start anew or in the dead of night when you just need a reminder that somebody’s listening. In this respect, her 2024 independent album, Tales From Late Nights & Long Drives, serves as a fitting soundtrack to life’s trip. “It’s the perfect road trip record,” she affirms. “It was mostly written while I was on tour. If the songs were written at home in Montana, I took inspiration from journal entries and memories of my travels. This is me stepping onto the stage with more miles under my boots. I’m giving into the moment and the melody to tell a story. It’s like eleven different versions of me—a woman I could have been, a woman I perhaps thought I was, and a woman I hope to be someday.” Hailed as “the hottest band in the Wasatch” by the Intermountain Acoustic Music Association, Pixie and The Partygrass Boys is composed of lifelong professional musicians drawn together by a common love of bluegrass and skiing in the Wasatch. Featuring soulful, often harmonic vocals and solid strings and rhythm, this tight-knit crew was born out of the belly of a warm cabin after a long day on the slopes- drinking whiskey and singing into the night. With a high energy sound and a love for silly outfits, they travel the land spreading the gospel of whiskey, chickens, and fun for everyone.
