About Langhorne SlimFor more than two decades, Langhorne Slim has been a fearless voice in modern Americana, known for his raw emotion and rule-breaking spirit. On his ninth album, The Dreamin’ Kind, the Nashville-based songwriter plugs in his electric guitar and dives headfirst into big-hearted, 1970s-style rock & roll.

Produced by Greta Van Fleet’s Sam F. Kiszka, the record pairs power chords and soaring hooks with the vulnerable storytelling that’s long defined Slim’s work. “It felt like I was blowing some old shit up so I could plant some new flowers,” he says. “I love folk music, but rock & roll tickles the same part of my soul. I wanted to explore that.”

The collaboration began after Slim opened for Greta Van Fleet, leading to loose, inspired sessions with Kiszka and drummer Danny Wagner. Together they built songs that move from the propulsive rush of “Rock N Roll” and the swagger of “Haunted Man” to the tender sweep of “Dream Come True” and “Stealin’ Time.”

Recorded over a year in Nashville, The Dreamin’ Kind bridges Slim’s rootsy past with a louder, more expansive present. It’s a record of freedom and discovery, equally at home, in rock clubs, and around campfires — proof that Langhorne Slim, ever the dreamer, still finds new ground to break with every song.

About Laney Jones and The SpiritsLaney Jones grew up in the back swamps of Central Florida surrounded by orange groves, kangaroos, and endless quiet — the kind that lets a person dream in Technicolor. Today, she channels that same sense of wonder and honesty into her Nashville-based band, Laney Jones and the Spirits. Blending vintage rock with blaring riffs, indie soul, and cosmic Americana.

Their self-titled debut album captures the spirit of a band in full bloom – a kaleidoscope of sound and feeling that invites listeners to slow down, reflect, and reconnect.

Hot Damn Scandal at Longstaff House
2026-04-29 19:00 - 21:30 | Longstaff House, 601 Longstaff Street, Missoula, Montana, 59801, United States
Hot Damn Scandal brings their “Cabaret Americana” to Missoula’s Longstaff House Sunday 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm Wednesday, April 29

Hot Damn Scandal finds its songs under park benches and in forgotten alleyways, on the corner of Tom Waits and Gershwin. The resulting outlaw ballads, dirty jazz, circus freakouts, shanty-rags, string band funk, lonesome heart-breakers, and whiskey bottle love songs blend together in what may be best described as ‘Cabaret Americana’: theatrical, orchestral, lyrical, and endlessly danceable.

The group began as a nebula of traveling musicians formed around the songs of founder Pete Irving over 15 years ago. Firmly rooted in Bellingham, WA since 2016, they have become a staple in the ever-evolving NW music scene.

With influences ranging from Roma Swing to Motown, from Klezmer to Country, they’ll be in your ears and on your mind for good after you’ve seen them once.

Mamma Mia, here we go again! Back by popular demand, the music by Sweden’s pop group ABBA and the unlikely story created from it will rock Missoula once again. Days before her wedding on a luscious Greek island, Sophie is determined to learn the identify of her father. Sophie’s mother Donna has never revealed the details of the fateful summer when Sophie was conceived (“Honey Honey”). Sophie sends three wedding invitations to the likely fathers and when three accept, Donna begins to reminisce about her past with the suitors (“Knowing Me, Knowing You”). Sophie hopes for a future with her dad (“Thank You for The Music”), and the guests on the island, well……they sing, of course (“Dancing Queen”). This extremely popular musical contains adult themes and situations that may not be suitable for young children.
