**CANCELED** Teague Goodvoice & Ro Myra w/ Dylan Running Crane
**This show has been canceled due to circumstances outside of our control. We apologize for any inconvenience.**Thursday, March 21 // Door at 7 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $10 // $15-$20 Artist Supporter TicketExperience the captivating artistry of three talented Native American musicians in an intimate concert setting. Born in Missoula, and growing up on the Blackfeet reservation in Browning, Montana riding horses and swimming in the clear glacier water, TEAGUE GOODVOICE draws some of his inspiration from his traditional Pikuni (Blackfeet) upbringing on the Rez. The rest of his inspiration comes from performing in Europe dancing and sharing his culture in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Scotland, and Ireland. He picked up the flute in May 2020 and started his musical journey downtown Missoula playing outside by himself or with other musicians of any genre. This has led him to acting, producing in movies and composing music for film. His music is described as ethereal and soulful, and his connection from his heart through his flute is felt in listeners’ souls. RO MYRA’s debut album Nowhere, Nebraska, is a complex reckoning with the past, a nuanced, literate reexamination of small-town life in the shadow of heartbreak, self-destruction, and second chances … a warm embrace of an album all about memory and forgiveness, growth and pain, freedom and fate, a collection that calls to mind everything from Lucinda Williams to Bruce Springsteen to Lori McKenna to Brandi Carlile to Sheryl Crow as it makes peace with the past in order to more fully inhabit the present. DYLAN RUNNING CRANE is a singer-songwriter from Browning, Montana, a place that remains the subject of most of her work. Her vibe is country meets rez-folk meets tender and silly. Check out her work with Cry Baby – https://crybabymissoula.bandcamp.com/track/missoulaAll tickets are general admission.
