Saturday is the first day of summer – and Sunday is Fathers Day! Celebrate accordingly with a little help from your friends at The Missoula Underground.

The MUG’s Top Picks for Fathers Day Weekend:

Farmers Markets – The Clark Fork River Market continues on Saturday under COVID Phase-2 rules, and expanded offerings allowed. CFRM has successfully incorporated advance online ordering (7pm on Thursday 6/18 is the advance online order deadline). CFRM will be expanding around the Pattee Street cul-de-sac this weekend. Personal care products, preserves, hot sauces, and package food will be added to the expanding fresh vegetable selection. The Missoula Farmer’s Market (also Saturday) has similarly expanded offerings, and the South Ave. Garden Produce Market opens at the Iron Griz starting this Saturday for the summer season as well.

Hey – Trivia’s back! at Monk’s on Thursday night!

Food options a-plenty for the weekend with Downtown Pop-Ups in Caras Park on Thursday night, the new Big Dipper location opening on Friday at Paxon Plaza off Brooks, and tons of places offering up fantastic Fathers Day Brunch and Dinner menus.

We couldn’t be more stoked about Andrea Harsell‘s return to our beloved Missoula, and her first performance back on stage at The Springs up at the end of Broadway in P-Burg on Saturday night. Live music is getting a bit easier to find, with the Thursday Night Music Series at Ranch Club, Dan Dubuque playing Thursday in Whitefish, the ZACC kids rockin’ out at Caras Park on Friday night, Venus and Mars Friday night at Monk’s, EddyJ (solo) at Ten Spoon on Saturday night. You won’t have to leave the house to watch & listen to the Summer Solstice Sequesterfest streaming all day & evening on Saturday. And Edwin Johnson Live has a busy weekend with gigs Thursday at Ranch Club, Saturday at Ten Spoon Winery, and Sunday with Ginger and Da Boyz at The Springs in P-Burg.

A little ditty I wrote and recorded in my living room the other day.
E Kipa Mai = come to me
Ho’i Hou Ke Aloha = let’s fall in love all over again
Hawaii life is a good life. XO

Ten Spoon is OPEN and ready for you to come enjoy some superb wines and live music! Here’s how to work this: Go support a local restaurant by ordering take-out, and the bring your meal and some friends to this wonderful venue and enjoy the beauty of the lower Rattlesnake. Dig it!

All music performances this summer will be held OUTDOORS to allow for a safe environment for all of us during these challenging times. Seating will be limited to maintain social distancing, and a small $5.00 entry fee is in place to defray some of the additional costs encountered to keep us all safe.
This is an absolutely stunning outdoor venue, with acres of space, a beautifully maintained landscape (with vineyard), and it is especially kid friendly.

As is my tradition, I’ll be concocting some tasty original instrumentals, some created “on the spur of the moment,” plus will deliver plenty of our very favorite tunes spanning five decades and a half dozen genres. See ya there? Cheers, EDJ
