                                <description><![CDATA[Sunday, June 21 // 7:00 Doors // 7:30 Show // $10 ADV // $20 DOS // $3 Pride fee added to all tickets // All Ages! &#160; It&#8217;s 1950, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There&#8217;s just one problem: Both Bob and Norma are gay, and have married each other&#8217;s partners as a carefully constructed cover. Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the American gay rights movement, madcap classic sitcom-style laughs give way to provocative drama as two &#8220;All-American&#8221; couples are forced to stare down the closet door. &#160; Poster by Ren Shepherd @auxbeanie on Instagram]]></description>

Participants will learn what support is helpful in overcoming challenges, will be engaged in activities and discussions that deepen their understanding and comfort with pronouns and use in introductions. Participants will explore gender as a part of the human experience that expands beyond gender binary, and identify effective and ineffective allyship qualities. Participants will have the opportunity to collect TransVisible Montana resources such as posters, stickers, cards, and handouts, that will be helpful in their continued practice of their newly acquired knowledge and allyship skills. Outcomes Include: A broadened awareness &#38; practice of contemporary, inclusive language. Applicable skills &#38; ideas for work, home, school &#38; public environments. Permission for liberation from the gender binary! &#160; RSVP here: https://www.missoulapride.com/event-details/navigating-the-genderverse-1&#160;]]></description>

Rooted in the acoustic stylings of Southern traditional music, it findsthe Arkansas native turning off his amp and stepping up to a ribbon microphone as a solo performer, singing in a voice that's equal parts country croon, Appalachian yodel, and high-lonesome field holler. Shoulders' interpretation of American roots music has always been more progressive and punky than the trucks-and-beers conservatism that passes for modern-day country, and Refugia Blues offers songs about climate collapse, radical anthropology, and generative disruption. It balances the macro with the micro, too, making room for love songs and personal topics, packaging humor alongside heavy insights. At once academic and accessible, Refugia Blues isn't just a deep dive into southernness, but also into Shoulders himself. This is a raw, resolute version of American country music, stacked high with songs that go down easy but linger in the minds of those willing to invest the time.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Wednesday, May 20 // 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.

                                <description><![CDATA[Saturday, August 1 // 7:00 PM Doors // 8:00 PM Show // $25 ADV // $30 DOS Seating will be limited to only those that need it &#160; James McMurtry released&#160;The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy&#160;on June 20th via New West Records. &#160;The 10-song collection was co-produced by McMurtry &#38; Don Dixon (R.E.M., The Smithereens) and is his first album in four years. &#160;It follows his 2021 acclaimed new West debut,&#160;The Horses and the Hounds, which UnCut Magazine said &#8220;lifts storytelling-in-song to meticulous new levels" and Pitchfork awarded an 8.0, saying &#8220;James McMurtry stands out even among the Lone Star State&#8217;s finest songwriters&#8230;&#8221; The&#160;Black Dog and the Wandering Boy&#160;features appearances by Sarah Jarosz, Charlie Sexton, Bonnie Whitmore, Bukka Allen and more, alongside his trusted backing band, THE MARTIAL LAW REVIEW, Tim Holt on guitar and accordion, Cornbread on bass and Daren Hess on drums. As varied as they are, McMurtry&#8217;s new story-songs find inspiration in scraps from his family&#8217;s past: a rough pencil sketch by Ken Kesey that serves as the album cover, the hallucinations experienced by his father, the legendary writer Larry McMurtry, an old poem by a family friend. &#160;A supremely insightful and inventive storyteller, McMurtry teases vivid worlds out of small details, setting them to arrangements that have elements of Americana but sound too sly and smart for such a general category. Funny and sad often in the same breath, The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy adds a new chapter to a long career that has young songwriters like Sarah Jarosz and Jason Isbell cite him as a formative influence.]]></description>
