SUMMARY:The Ride Continues - The History of the Buffalo Soldiers film screening at The Roxy
DESCRIPTION:Check out a free film screening of “The Ride Continues – The History of the Buffalo Soldiers” at 7:30 pm Wednesday\, November 19 at The Roxy Theater on Missoula’s Hip Strip\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Ride Continues…2024Preserving\, Promoting and Perpetuating the History of the Buffalo SoldiersBy Bobby McDonaldOn June 14th\, 1897\, Lt. James Moss and 20 members of the U.S. Army’s 25th Infantry Regiment Bicycle Corps undertook an experimental endeavor to test the feasibility of using bicycles versus horses as a mode of military transportation. The 25th Infantry Regiment Bicycle Corps\, also known as the Iron Riders\, was part of the segregated U.S. Army units that came to be known as the Buffalo Soldiers.This undertaking involved a challenging 41-day\, 1\,900-mile bicycle ride from Fort Missoula\, Montana\, to Saint Louis\, Missouri.This little-known story and adventure would later be considered the United States Army’s greatest cycling experiment ever undertaken by men in the military—and the Buffalo Soldiers performed that experiment.Then and NowCreating and preparing for the 125th Anniversary of the ride\, a documentary in 2024\, was always part of the plan.The new documentary\, Iron Riders: The Ride Continues\, highlights the 125th anniversary of the ride and captures the impact the recent Iron Riders Celebration had on the local communities they encountered in the five states (Montana\, Wyoming\, South Dakota\, Nebraska and Missouri) they passed through on their epic journey.With the precision of a military operation\, the Iron Riders Celebration went off without a glitch. The planning committee\, reenactors\, supporters and the local communities\, accomplished their mission of celebrating the magnificent historic ride.Testimonials\, verbal and written\, along with videos and social media\, reflected the vibrant expressions of gratitude\, inspiration\, awareness and community bonding through state parks\, libraries and community engagements across the country. While the celebration was geared to share historical elements\, additional historic opportunities arose\, including participating in the inaugural National Holiday Juneteenth observance in Missoula\, Montana.The Montana Black Collective-Missoula and local\, state and national officials thanked the Quasquicentennial Committee for their support in initiating\, designing and bringing to fruition the first citywide Juneteenth Celebration in Missoula\, Montana.When the Smithsonian Magazine and Apple One ran the Iron Rider story\, both reported it as one of their top five stories for several days. The American Legion ran feature stories and sent a film crew to cover the events. The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) sponsored several events along the route.The 25th Infantry Tribute Band\, which mimicked the size and instrumentation of the original band\, played identical arrangements at the opening ceremonies and on Juneteenth. With detailed research and historical adherence\, the events were successful beyond expectation.The Iron Riders re-enactors made history as the first bicycle group ever to participate in the Rose Parade\, beginning with the 2023 New Year’s Pasadena Rose Parade and 2024 Rose Parade.The reenactors were part of the famous Flag Lowering Ceremony at Disneyland.A permanent Iron Rider Exhibit was established at the Buffalo Soldier National Museum\, in Houston\, Texas.Because of the tremendous outreach and awareness of the ride\, wide-ranging groups\, dedicated volunteers and associations across the nation are developing events\, programs and recognitions highlighting the Buffalo Soldiers 25th Infantry Bicycle Corps Iron Riders. \n\n\n\nDirector: Bobby McDonald \n\n\n\nDuration: 30 min

SUMMARY:The Last Revel with The Lowest Pair at The Wilma
DESCRIPTION:Logjam Presents welcomes The Last Revel for a live performance with The Lowest Pair at The Wilma at 8:00 pm Friday\, November 21\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors @ 7:00 pm \n\n\n\nLogjam Presents welcomes The Last Revel for a live performance with The Lowest Pair at The Wilma at 8:00 pm Friday\, November 21. \n\n\n\nTickets on sale at Logjam Presents Box Offices and online while supplies last. All tickets are general admission standing room only. All ages are welcome. \n\n\n\nTake a look at these tips to best prepare yourself for a smooth ticket buying experience. \n\n\n\nAdditional ticketing and venue information can be found here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Last RevelMuch like their sorrowful\, purposeful melodies\, the members of The Last Revel contain this thick thread of self\, and of place\, when it comes to the underlying trait in the sounds and scope of their intent\, onstage and in the studio — survival mode. \n\n\n\n“Honestly\, I don’t know if we would’ve been able to do this career for as long as we have without persistence\,” says guitarist Lee Henke. “By living in a challenging place\, it’s definitely conditioned us to have a high tolerance for discomfort\, a certain toughness to push ahead.” \n\n\n\nThat sentiment of tenacity and passion lies at the heart of The Last Revel’s latest album\, Gone for Good. Produced by Trampled by Turtles lead singer Dave Simonett\, the record is a multilayered ode to the life of an artist\, life on the road\, and what it means to be a human being in uncertain times. \n\n\n\n“This is a step in our careers that feels like there’s no going back\,” says banjoist Ryan Acker. “There’s a level of commitment now that\, just a couple of years ago\, we didn’t fathom we could take on. The boat is off the shore and you can’t see land anymore — we’re in it now.” \n\n\n\nBased in Minneapolis\, Minnesota\, the Americana/indie-folk outfit harkens to the trials\, tribulations\, and triumphs of what it means to pursue your dreams in real time. The foundation of which is conjured by a deep appreciation and genuine respect for the vast landscape and sometimes-harsh realities of what it means to emerge from the Midwest. \n\n\n\n“We grew up in the Midwest and we’ve all kind of stayed in this region of the country\,” Henke notes. “This place has imprinted itself on who we are\, and that challenge of life here is part of who we are now.” Alongside Henke and Acker is fiddler Vinnie Donatelle. When the ensemble finds themselves behind the microphone\, it’s the culmination of their vocal talents that truly showcases the mission of The Last Revel — harmony. \n\n\n\n“There’s no better feeling [when we’re singing together]\,” Acker says. “And it makes you understand something primal\, these melodies and these harmonies. It’s internal and it’s really powerful to sing your heart out with the people you love and your best friends.” \n\n\n\nThe seeds for The Last Revel were initially planted when Acker and Henke metin college in Wisconsin and started jamming together. Following graduation\, the duo eventually headed for Minnesota\, crossed paths with Donatelle\, and started putting together a musical project. By 2011\, the group was formed in Minneapolis. \n\n\n\n“The name comes from the idea of saying\, ‘One last go\, one last celebration\,’” Henke recalls. “It’s treating every show like it could be the last one kind of makes it extra special each time. It’s become a mantra through all the hardships we’ve been through — it’s crazy we get to do this\, so let’s act like it might be the last one.” \n\n\n\n“It feels like a miracle\,” Acker adds. “This is a career where\, hell or high water\, this is what I’m doing. This is something we feel genuine about creating and sharing with people — there’s no other option.” \n\n\n\nEarly on in the band’s tenure\, The Last Revel was clocking in around 200 shows each year\, and did so for several years. Burnout was real\, with the act deciding to go on hiatus in 2019 to recalibrate and reenergize what it is within the group that remains steadfast. \n\n\n\n“I tried to quit music. And then\, the moment I accepted [I was done]\, I wrote \n\n\n\nfive new songs the next day\,” Henke shakes his head in awe. “There’s always been a real therapeutic element to writing music for me. And it goes beyond that now\, where if I don’t write for [a while]\, I feel pent up — there’s something that needs to come out.” \n\n\n\nA couple years went by\, with Henke and Acker eventually circling back to one another. The musical chemistry and unbreakable camaraderie was still intact\, with each thinking the same thing — let’s give music another shot. To note\, Gone for Good is The Last Revel’s second album since reuniting in 2021. \n\n\n\n“We spent so much time together in our twenties and thirties where\, even as friends\, let’s just get back together and see how it feels\,” Acker says. “Let’s just record some music and release it.” \n\n\n\n“The first step was all about just reconnecting — to hell with anyone else giving a damn about the music\,” Donatelle adds. “The only important thing is playing some music together.” \n\n\n\nWhen The Last Revel released Dovetail in 2023\, the reunion album sparkedwildfire\, whether it was with longtime\, loyal fans of the band or newcomers coming across the group by mere happenstance. Now back on the road on the stage\, the bandmates were happily surprised by the unexpected response by sold-out gigs wherever they toured. \n\n\n\n“It kind of took us off-guard\,” Acker says of the fan response. “And it’s become this reciprocal\, motivating thing now. People didn’t forget about us\, and many more discovered our music over COVID than we had anticipated — the music we made is continuing to reach people.” \n\n\n\n“That initial response was so powerful\,” Donatelle adds. “But\, on the other end of things\, [the music] was never about any of us individually. It’s about the way that people connected to our music and just the way the music had a life of its own outside of us.” \n\n\n\nReflecting on Gone for Good\, Acker feels a real\, tangible\, more so positive shift in what it is The Last Revel aims to do moving forward. It’s this collective realm of collaboration\, all in hopes of connectivity not only between the bandmates\, but also the audience itself night in and night out — from coast-to- coast and back around to Minnesota. \n\n\n\n“And I think that shows up more on this record than ever\,” Acker says. “We’ve finally clicked on what the band’s purpose is\, the ethos behind all of this — we’re figuring out how to be ourselves and be happy through the music.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Lowest PairKendl Winter comes from Arkansas\, but she found her way to the Pacific Northwest after high school. The evergreens and damp air of Olympia\, Washington\, and the boundless music scene\, had equal draw. She released three solo records on Olympia’s indie label\, K Records\, and performed in ramblin’ folk bands and anarchic punk bands before starting The Lowest Pair in 2013 with Palmer T. Lee. Palmer built his first banjo when he was 19 from pieces he serendipitously inherited. Shortly after deciding songwriting would be the most effective and enjoyable medium for his musings\, he began cutting his teeth fronting Minneapolis string bands and touring the Midwest festival circuit\, which is where he and Kendl first met\, on the banks of the Mississippi. Kendl likes to run\, long distances\, on the dirt trail past where the logging trucks have to turn around. Palmer likes to read Mark Twain\, walk to town to the billiard hall and eavesdrop on the locals. Together\, they are The Lowest Pair\, a band Folk Radio UK describes as\, “music for sunshine and mint juleps.”
