Weekend PICKS: Thursday, June 9th thru Sunday, June 12th
Oh, June! Montana, you are just showin’ off right now.
The MUG has compiled the most comprehensive list of this weekend’s events in Missoula and around Western Montana, all right here for you to make your own Weekend PICKS.
June is just simply a fantastic time to be outdoors here. Rain’s in the weekend forecast, and we don’t care. Bring along the rain jacket and get out there anyway. Whatever you do, it’ll be spectacular out there.
Top of the list, it’s Missoula XC Week! We are a city that’s constantly on the lists of the best place in the country to ride bikes, and it just so happens we have top-shelf, national level mountain bike racing here this weekend at Marshall Mountain Park. Make a point to get up there, volunteer, or sign up to race, or just soak in the whole scene of mountain bike racing Montana-style. It’s a magical event.
We’re counting well over 90! music shows of one kind or another in the area. We’ve got options.
Farmers markets season is well underway in Western Montana. Several more are opening this weekend. You’ll find ’em here, we’ve found a few more, and for a complete list of nearly three dozen in the area, check out our Western Montana Farmers Markets story posted recently on The MUG.
No matter what direction you wanna get outta town, you can’t go wrong. Activities and events are happening not only around Missoula, but all the way up the Flathead and the Bitterroot valleys, east to Phillipsburg and Anaconda, and out west past Alberton.
Get out and enjoy our locally-owned bars & restaurants with Montana grown / made food and beverages. Support our local farmers and crafts people. Catch a classic movie screening or a stand-up comedy night. Stretch that big brain at one of the local trivia nights. Sing your favorite karaoke song, or catch a live music show. Enjoy safely and responsibly.
Please confirm event details at the source before you go. Last minute changes are common, especially due to weather. With each event listing, we try to include a web page or event link with more information you can check for changes.

Monk’s Bar Missoula
221 Ryman St, Missoula, Montana
21+ adv $18 $22 dos
Now on their sixth full-length album and twelfth year performing, Seattle’s Polyrhythmics take the sonic exploration of past albums, combined with mad scientist experiments testing the tunes on the road, and rolled them into 2020 releases Man from the Future and the companion EP Fondue Party.
Rich with bold brass and hypnotic percussion, Polyrhythmics’ latest studio work continues to showcase the instrumental eight-piece’s impossibly tight grooves and virtuosic musicianship as they tear through a singular blend of funk, soul, psychedelic rock, R&B, progressive jazz, and Afrobeat.
Now, the band emerges from the pandemic to return to the road with a new arsenal of original songs in their diverse catalog to conjure up the next chapter of fiery and infectious live performances as they embark on a 2nd decade as a touring collective.
Polyrhythmics are:
Ben Bloom: Guitars, Grant Schroff: Drums, Nathan Spicer: Keyboards, Jason Gray: Bass, Scott Morning: Trumpet, Elijah Clark: Trombone, Art Brown: Sax and Flute, Karl Olson: Percussion.
Support
Scott Pemberton O Theory
Infectious and inventive dance music. Funky, surfy, rock propelled by Scott’s virtuosic guitar playing. If James Brown, Dick Dale and Jimi Hendrix planted a fruit tree in Portland, this sound might have fallen off.

KFGM Summer Series / Catnyp & Rob Travolta
The ZACC
216 W Main Street, Missoula, Montana
$10
To purchase advance tickets visit: https://showroom.zootownarts.org/…/kfgm-summer…/
The KFGM Summer Series brings forth some of the great talent the Missoula music scene has to offer. Each show will showcase two great bands, cross genres, and offer a platform for audience members to discover and engage with some of Missoula’s best artists. KFGM’s desire for this series is to highlight some of their favorite local artists and for Missoula Community Radio’s listeners to tune-in to a true local experience. June’s bands are Catnyp and Rob Travolta
Formed in Missoula, MT after front man/composer/producer/bassist/multiinstrumentalist Henderson K Shatner (HKS) returned to the US after 18 years of overseas adventures, Catnyp released “The Black Cat Trilogy” of albums sequentially in 2018, 2019, 2020. Shatner founded Brand Violet, a seminal UK surf-goth act signed to legendary Some Bizarre records in the early 2000s. Catnyp has drawn recent comparison to Pixies, Daniel Ash, David Bowie, and even Led Zeppelin — largely based on the fearless vocal experimentation Shatner employs on Catnyp IIII, channeling his favorite vocalists for different tracks. Melodic, agile bass parts invoke Beatles-era McCartney while surf guitar and clean overdriven tones provide a nod to California punk and Britpop.
Rob Cave, also known as Missoula’s ‘secretary of bass’ (for supplying the most buoyant and delightful bass riffs for numerous local bands), has his own project — Rob Travolta! Rob Travolta will drop your jaw, with captivatingly composed tunes that balance Rob’s “midwest emo meets Montana” vibe with drummer Cole Bronson’s knack for hip hop in smooth and enthralling pockets of groove. The talent and focus of the duo, not to mention the emotion they channel into their music performing, makes for a remarkable sonic journey of angst and joy.

“This music is about the life saving force of my community in times of suffering and healing. It is an admission of deep gratitude for this process. These songs welcome the struggle. The dark night that delivers the light. What light I have found I share with you here. These songs are my vows to love. A growing and sustaining love that I am privileged to nourish with my own healing. It is a prayer that love can be center for anyone and that it is not only awarded to those that fit a certain criteria. It is a movement of holding my mind to the light and honoring what I am experiencing. I am answering what has called me to share and create.”

Northern Lights Saloon

When he’s not on the road as a solo singer-songwriter, Kupfer is one-third of the Bus Driver Tour, with fellow country-folkies Ian Thomas and Danny Freund.
Somewhere along the way, though, Kupfer managed to stay in one place long enough to record Where the Wind Goes, his debut solo album. It’s a collection of unreconstructed folk in the style of early Bob Dylan, John Prine, and Arlo Guthrie, recorded at Wild Chorus Studio in Knoxville with Jamie Cook, Robert Richards, Evie Andrus, and Josh Oliver. https://paulleekupfer.com/
