The live show, an immersive blend of music, story, and sound, takes audiences across the planet&#8212;the Australian outback, an Arctic lake, the Kenyan savannah&#8212;and asks pressing questions about what happens when we tune into the life all around us. &#160; Based on the eponymous Peabody Award-winning podcast, Threshold Live is the product of on-the-ground reporting by host and executive producer Amy Martin, who set out to explore the wondrous chorus of life on Earth and learn from the scientists at the heart of a listening renaissance. Grammy-winning composer and musician Todd Sickafoose live-scores the journey alongside multi-instrumentalist Jonny Rodgers and audio engineer Sam Moore. The result is a collective acoustic journey: a chance to share the experience of listening to what other beings are saying, and to consider what it might mean.&#160; &#160; This performance of Threshold Live is sponsored by the Montana Natural History Center.

Taking aim at daily banal agonies, and existential uncertainty, the moods shift from meditative to unhinged. The music takes risks. Formed in 2022 on Colorado&#8217;s front range, they&#8217;ve been bringing their wildly disruptive live shows to venues across the mountain west at an incredible pace. Keep an eye on their schedule to see where they are playing near you, and for their debut LP &#8220;Lick My Soul&#8221;. Bandcamp &#160; 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]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Wednesday, October 28 // Doors at 7:00 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $15 &#160; Earthschool is the creative partnership of Jamie Aaron Aux (Missoula, MT) and Irene Barber (Seattle, WA), crafting immersive soundscapes that explore the complexity of human emotion and the beauty of interconnectedness. As solo artists and collaborators in projects like XVIII Eyes, Le Butcherettes, Erik Blood, and Dust Moth, they have earned recognition for their distinct voices and multi-instrumental talents. Ethereal vocals and textured compositions form the foundation of Earthschool, a band born from years of personal growth and shared creative evolution. The seeds of Earthschool were planted during their earlier project, XVIII Eyes (2008&#8211;2014), where Irene and Jamie first came together through a shared passion for angular rock. Their introspective, art-rock compositions cultivated a loyal following, but as their personal and artistic visions diverged, the project came to an end. A decade later, the duo reunited to form Earthschool, channeling their renewed collective creative energy into a project that celebrates one's inner journey through sound. Earthschool&#8217;s debut album,&#160;Original Aches, is a deeply personal yet metaphysical exploration of love, loss, and rediscovery. Themes of spiritual connection and timelessness run subtly through the album, reflecting the band&#8217;s belief in a shared cosmic resonance. Through their music, Earthschool invites listeners into a space for reflection, healing, and expansion. The album&#8217;s creation captures the raw intimacy of their collaboration. Initially shaped by long-distance exchanges beginning in the fall of 2023, Original Aches was recorded in Jamie&#8217;s home studio over three months mid-2024. Its lush, layered sound bridges soaring harmonies, intricate guitar work, and atmospheric textures, offering a dynamic and emotive listening experience. https://earthschoolband.com/en-usd&#160;]]></description>

Here in Missoula, the refugee and immigrant neighbors bring rich tapestries of experiences that redefine the concept of home. For the 6th consecutive year, Soft Landing Missoula&#8217;s Stories of Home project invites us to explore the diverse and nuanced meanings of home. We delve into the homes left behind and the new ones forged; the homes we aspire to build and those that live on in our memories; the homes found in physical spaces and those discovered in the embrace of community. Stories of Home will be presented through a series of documentary shorts. We&#8217;ll share the stories of individuals who have made Missoula their new home after journeying here as refugees and immigrants. The highlight of our gathering will be a moderated panel session with project participants. This intimate dialogue, combined with powerful visual narratives, aims to amplify the voices of our new neighbors and illuminate the universal experiences that connect us all &#8211; regardless of where we call home. Check out the past 5 years of the Stories of Home project to read stories from refugees and immigrants. This presentation is being recorded by Missoula Community Access Television as part of a Media Assistance Grant donated to Soft Landing Missoula organization by MCAT.

                                <description><![CDATA[Wednesday, October 7 // Door at 7 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $12 // $15-$20 Artist Supporter Patti Nolan, born in Seattle, WA, and raised in Missoula MT, called New York City her home for most of her adult life. She also spent 4 years in San Francisco, CA, 2 years in Monterey, CA and 1 year in Catania, Sicily. Before leaving Missoula, she could be seen doing hootenannies around town accompanying herself on the guitar. During the early years in New York, Patti sang at clubs, including The Bushes and Catch a Rising Star, while working under the musical direction and tutelage of Danny Holgate. In addition, she was one of the founding members of the jazz fusion group, Afra Venture, which performed original material. Patti&#8217;s musical education credits include studies at the San Francisco and Brooklyn Conservatories of Music, and the Borough of Manhattan Community College. While living in the Monterey Bay area, Patti appeared regularly at the Caf&#233; Monterey in the Grand Hyatt Regency, working with Eddie Mendenhall, Bobby Phillips, Lee Durley and the late Ace Hill. Patti, also, appeared at the Monterey Caf&#233;, Morgan&#8217;s, with Don Pendergrast. After her stay in California, she returned to New York City and reestablished her position in the New York City Music Community. She appeared at Charlie O&#8217;s, on 45th St and 8th Ave in Manhattan. She was accompanied by the well-known and respected Donald Smith and his trio. She also performed at Caf&#233; Creole, 118th St. and 2nd Ave in Manhattan, with the Alan Rosenthal Trio. Patti worked at perfecting her craft performing at open mikes at Cleopatra&#8217;s Needle and Porters in Manhattan. She could also be seen sitting in with the great Harry Whitaker at Arturo&#8217;s in the Village. Since returning to Missoula to live, Patti sat in with the Big Sky Mudflaps at Plonk and appeared at the Jodi Marshall Tribute in St Anthony&#8217;s Parrish, Aug 9th, 2017. Patti had previously worked with Jodi on a jazz demo. In March of 2019 she performed a jazz show at the Downtown Dance Collective to a sold-out crowd with the Jim Driscoll trio. The show was recorded and a live demo was created. Now that she is back in Missoula, Patti appeared many times at the Top Hat for their Jazz Wednesdays and has established a strong following. She is continuing to work with other musicians. Patti&#8217;s goal is to keep the jazz classics and standards alive and vibrant, and not ever forget the forefathers of this genre In September of 2022 Patti met pianist and arranger Ben Schuberg. Ben&#8217;s experience in a variety of genre&#8217;s supported and enhanced Patti&#8217;s vision of a jazz fusion group. They have&#160;performed primarily at the ZACC, a fabulous showroom for music and entertainment on Main Street in downtown Missoula, MT. Even though jazz is Patti&#8217;s preferred genre to perform, the musical influences in her life are varied and have their impact on her performance choices. It became obvious that Patti had to find musicians who could play many types of music so when Patti was introduced to Ben Schuberg, a fine pianist who plays in several groups of different genres, her vision became a reality. Then Ben brought in a saxphonist, Graeme Pletscher. Pete Hand on bass and Ed Stallings on drums, joined the group. Patti had worked with Ed and Pete since 2019. Patti Nolan and the Undeniables came into existence. They were part of a very successful fundraiser for KUFM of NPR and have done many other gigs in and out of Missoula, private and public. Patti Nolan and the Undeniables will continue to play new and innovative music around Missoula and beyond. The most recent demo can be heard at pattinolan.bandcamp.com.]]></description>

The duo, made up of Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee, know that we tend to see duality as a problem. We want life to be linear, working through the dark to finally get to the light. Grief to joy, despair to hope, confusion to clarity&#8211;&#8211;not a jangly cycle we can&#8217;t escape. But through their incandescent folk songs, the Lowest Pair often ask: What if we sit with the mess? What if that&#8217;s not just more peaceful, but more magical, too?&#160; On their 8th album Always As Young As We&#8217;ll Ever Be, the Lowest Pair prove that over the last dozen years together, they&#8217;ve become some of modern roots music&#8217;s most mesmerizing, thoughtful purveyors. Produced by Tucker Martine (The Decemberists), the 10-track album puts the duo&#8217;s stark lyricism, string-driven arrangements, and raw compatibility on brilliant display and as a result, Always As Young As We&#8217;ll Ever Be pulses with life. The Lowest Pair&#8217;s musicianship is another beautiful testament not just to playing that breathes, but playing that listens. Winter, who grew up in Arkansas but has lived in Washington State for the last two decades, and Lee, a Minnesota native, first gained attention as poetic singer-songwriters on banjos. While their family of strings has expanded, their fundamental approach hasn&#8217;t: Respond to sounds and stories the other is making. &#160; 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 &#8211; https://crybabymissoula.bandcamp.com/track/missoula]]></description>

Breaking free of genre&#8217;s limitations, Stephenson shares these blistering stories with stunning arrangements that dare to take on different shapes every time. Her unforgettable writing is the through line, finding the right sounds to express it all is her magic.

Hayden writes many of his lyrics on solo backpacking trips, guided by a belief that presence gives art its weight. His debut EP, produced with Jeremy McDonald (Kevin Garrett, Vulfpeck, Beyonc&#233;), earned placements on Grey&#8217;s Anatomy and praise from Earmilk, Atwood Magazine, and KCRW. Follow-up releases via Platoon and Nettwerk Music Group featured collaborators like JT Bates (Bonny Light Horseman, Big Red Machine, Taylor Swift, The National), James McAlister (Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens), and Jack Van Cleaf (Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan).&#160; With over 60 million streams, Hayden has toured with Hazlett, The Paper Kites, Trousdale, and Vacation Manor. His debut full length record, So The Sun Can Pour, was independently released in April of 2026.

It&#8217;s a trudge through the swamp and into vast, cleansing waters that finds Clyde at a critical point of personal evolution&#8212;equal parts despair, invocation, discovery, and celebration. &#160; Ahead of and throughout her writing sessions for&#160;Mud Blood Bone, Clyde looked to her indigenous M&#233;tis roots and invoked a deep reverence for nature in efforts to redefine her relationship with love in her life. Learning from the natural world, she took solace in its cyclicality. &#160; The new songs exude nomadic independence: penned in her 1973 Boler trailer on a farm in Ontario, on a narrow boat in England, or in transit from one festival to another, letting lyrics stream freely from a jetlagged dream state. The result is uninhibited, raw, pure; it&#8217;s the sound of personal truth discovered in real time. &#160; &#160; &#160; With I Hope We Can Still Be Friends, his debut for Saddle Creek, Dean Johnson makes a pact with the listener: He will sing you his truth in the most heartfelt and charming way possible, if you promise to keep an open mind. &#160; The title partly stems from the playful way the Seattle-based singer, songwriter and guitarist communes with his audiences at concerts. &#8220;I hope you&#8217;re not afraid to talk to me after the show,&#8221; he&#8217;ll say, sweetly, before launching into &#8220;Death of the Party,&#8221; the album&#8217;s seventh song. Centered on the &#8220;energy vampire&#8221; archetype &#8212; the exasperating windbag we&#8217;ve all encountered at some point &#8212; its lyrics are at once intellectually biting and unmistakably hilarious. His tender voice rings out like the ghost of Roy Orbison or a misfit Everly brother. &#160; &#8220;Words don&#8217;t come easily to me / I notice you don&#8217;t have that problem / It sounds to me you cannot stop them,&#8221; Johnson sings over acoustic guitar strumming, and gentle bass and drums, like the narrator in a dark comedy whose coming-of-age misadventures have made for an excellent film. &#160; Johnson spent years tending bar at Al&#8217;s Tavern in Seattle&#8217;s Wallingford neighborhood. There, he encountered folks of all stripes; and regulars enthusiastically murmured about his budding musical greatness &#8212; There&#8217;s the best songwriter in town! Johnson was a kind of local lore, a long-held family secret, before the singer finally broke out in 2023 with his debut album, Nothing For Me Please, at age 50.]]></description>

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&#8217;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.]]></description>
