SUMMARY:Kenan Flannery & Riddy Arman at Longstaff House
DESCRIPTION:Kenan Flannery and Riddy Arman perform live at Missoula’s Longstaff House 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm Tuesday\, September 9\n\n\n\n\n\n“The Essence of Folk Music in its rawest and most authentic form” \n\n\n\nPraised for writing “bone-breakingly beautiful” music. Kenan Flannery is a 25-year-old IYMA’s award-winning folk songwriter from Dublin\, Ireland. Kenan at his core is a storyteller for the damned and broken\, writing heart-wrenching songs and stories with a voice “that hits you with the intensity of a hundred Irish poets and musicians”. He mixes his upbringing of Irish folk/ballad music from the likes of The Dubliners with his love of American folk music and has been compared to the likes of John Prine\, Townes Van Zandt and Blaze Foley. \n\n\n\nIn 2022 Kenan graced the stages of some of the biggest venues in Ireland over the years including The National Stadium and the famous Ruby Sessions\, which has seen artists like Frank Turner\, Damien Rice\, and Ed Sheeran\, amongst many more. In addition\, Kenan got to support The Wolfe Tones in front of 2000 people and Gravedancer on his debut tour of Ireland. \n\n\n\nIn 2023 he performed on the stage of Electric Picnic and The Secret Song in West Cork\, sharing a stage with the likes of Lisa Hannigan\, Junior Brother\, Ye Vagabonds and Lemoncello. \n\n\n\nIn 2024 Kenan embarked on his debut European tour across 8 countries and was featured on festival line ups with the likes of Lightin’ Luke\, Possessed by Paul James and Pat Reedy. His shows have been praised for being one of a kind\, packed with stories and songs that will have you laughing\, crying\, singing and dancing. \n\n\n\nRecently\, Kenan has released his first ever live album titled “Live at Whelan’s\, Dublin\, Ireland” recorded during his sold out live show in Dublin. With plenty of new music and more national and European shows in the pipeline\, Kenan Flannery has made a name for himself as one of the most unique performers and storytellers in the international folk scene today and one to keep an eye on. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPraise for Riddy Arman’s Debut“The resolve in Arman’s vocals recalls icons like Johnny Cash or Dolly Parton—both strong songwriters who were able to distill a sense of melancholy\, romance\, and sincerity in the necessary hurt of being human.” \n\n\n\nFLOOD MAGAZINE \n\n\n\n“When you know\, you know. In a genre that places so much emphasis on authenticity — and all the fraught debates that brings — when you hear Riddy Arman’s life-weary voice\, you know she’s the real deal.” \n\n\n\nNO DEPRESSION \n\n\n\n“Riddy Arman evokes the late\, great Glen Campbell with ‘Too Late to Write a Love Song’…The music swells around her with grandeur\, and a chorus of voices backs her up\, but Arman cuts through it all with the lonesome tear in her voice.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Scrapetown Bluegrass Band at Longstaff House
DESCRIPTION:Scrapetown\, the latest bluegrass group assembled by brothers John and Billy Parker\, performs live at Missoula’s Longstaff House at 7:00 pm Thursday\, August 14\n\n\n\n\n\nScrapetown is the latest band project for brothers John and Billy Parker. \n\n\n\nScrapetown scraped this all-star crew together for some shows this summer.  The band includes Billy on mandolin\, John on upright bass\, Tyler James on the 5-string\, Peter McLaughlin on guitar\, and Isaac Callender on fiddle.  We will do some originals written by Peter\, Isaac\, and Billy\, some bluegrass standards\, and some more obscure songs\, usually on the theme of the land and the people who work it.  We are also hoping to have an original tune about the Wyoming State BBQ Championship and Bluegrass Festival! \n\n\n\nThe band has a couple hundred years of experience (but don’t hold it against them) and they’re looking forward to playing with old friends in a new arrangement. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:The Cody Sisters at Longstaff House
DESCRIPTION:The Cody Sisters bring live bluegrass to Missoula’s Longstaff House at 7:00 pm Friday\, August 8\n\n\n\n\n\nMaddie and Megan have been making music together since the ages of six and eight\, respectively. Raised on the Colorado folk and bluegrass scene—with encouragement from their dad\, who often played guitar around the house and was the original bass player in the band—festivals like RockyGrass were high notes amidst a lifelong musical awakening filled with live performances\, songwriting\, and travel. \n\n\n\nWith Maddie on banjo\, Megan on mandolin\, and both women trading turns on the guitar\, the sisters built a following quite early for their resonant harmonies and meticulous instrumental chops. The Cody Sisters took on a new depth in 2020 when bassist Will Pavilonis became part of the band\, bringing fresh dimensions to their arrangements and sound. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Bill Mize and Cruz Contreras at Longstaff House
DESCRIPTION:Two fabulous performers on the same bill – Bill Mize and Cruz Contreras perform live at 7:00 pm Tuesday\, August 5 at Missoula’s Longstaff House \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBill MizeGrammy-winning guitarist Bill Mize is a son of Tennessee\, and a fitting representative ofhis state’s rich musical heritage. His critically lauded fingerstyle compositions are fluidand intricate and their delivery masterful. One suspects an influential teacher; “I receivedmost of my musical education from a cheap Zenith radio\,” says Mize\, who as a childdrifted off to sleep to the decidedly non-sleepy lullabyes emanating from Nashville’sWLAC and WSM and Knoxville’s WNOX.Bill is a past winner of the Winfield National Fingerstyle Guitar Competition\, andreceived a GRAMMY Award for his collaboration with musician and storyteller DavidHolt on the recording Stellaluna. Popular acoustic guitar compilations “Windham HillGuitar Sampler” by Windham Hill Records and “Masters of the Acoustic Guitar” byNarada Records have included his works. Bill’s music has been featured in a number offilms and documentaries\, notably in Emmy-award winning Ken Burns productions“The National Parks: America’s Best Idea” and “Country Music.” ” Mel Bay Productions transcribed Mize’s second CD\, “Tender Explorations\,” into a songbook.Bill will be playing some tunes off his new cd “The Southwind” and will be joined byspecial guests\, Beth Bramhall and Beth Youngblood.www.billmize.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCruz ContrerasRaised between the rugged lines of Tennessee and the long shadows of Michigan\, Contreras has spent nearly thirty years forging his path through the Americana musical landscape. He’s a multi-instrumentalist\, songwriter\, bandleader\, producer\, and storyteller whose voice cuts through noise like a well-honed blade. \n\n\n\nHe got his start at just 15\, playing guitar behind his younger brother Billy Contreras at fiddle competitions—long before Billy became a world-renowned fiddler\, known for his work with George Jones\, Sierra Ferrell\, Ricky Skaggs. But it was a moment in 1993 that sealed Cruz’s fate: finding himself in a room with the Father of Bluegrass\, Bill Monroe. That room\, that sound\, that presence—it lit a fire that’s never gone out. \n\n\n\nFirst with Robinella and the CCstringband\, then as the fire at the heart of The Black Lillies\, Cruz helped carve a sound that feels as old as the hills and as wild as the road. His songs have topped the Billboard and Americana charts\, picked up Independent Music Awards\, and earned him a nomination from the Americana Music Association as an emerging artist — though his music suggests he was never chasing trends to begin with. \n\n\n\nHe’s stood on stages from Conan O’Brien’s late-night set to the Grand Ole Opry — the latter over 40 times — and drawn praise from Rolling Stone\, NPR\, American Songwriter\, and Vanity Fair. Contreras has toured with Robert Earl Keen and the Turnpike Troubadours\, collaborated with John Oates\, and shared stages with Old Crow Medicine Show\, The Travelin’ McCourys\, Tyler Childers\, Mavis Staples\, Elizabeth Cook and more. A festival veteran\, Cruz and The Black Lillies have performed at Bonnaroo\, Merle Fest\, Jazz Fest\, Red Ants Pants\, Stagecoach\, High Sierra\, DelFest\, Pickathon\, Mile Zero\, Cayamo\, to name a few. But he doesn’t play for headlines\, but for the quiet connection — the still moment in a crowded room when a lyric hits home like a memory you forgot you had. \n\n\n\nNow touring behind his debut solo album Cosmico\, Cruz is joined once more by a band of road-tested companions under the name Cruz Contreras and The Black Lillies. Together\, they bring with them a catalog of songs that stretch across time — from the familiar past to the hopeful unknown. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Robbie Fulks at Longstaff House
DESCRIPTION:Bluegrass singer-songwriter Robbie Fulks performs live at 7:00 pm Friday\, August 1 at Missoula’s Longstaff House\n\n\n\n\n\nRobbie Fulks is a singer\, recording artist\, instrumentalist\, composer\, and songwriter. His current release\,  Bluegrass Vacation on Compass Records\, returns him to his bluegrass roots\, with alarge group of  masterful musicians including Sam Bush\, Jerry Douglas\, Justin Moses\, Ronnie McCoury\, Alison Brown\,  David Grier\, Tim O’Brien\, Todd Phillips\, John Cowan\, Brennen Leigh\, Randy Kohrs\, Sierra Hull\, Stuart Duncan\, Shad Cobb\, and Chris Eldridge. Across 11 new original songs (and one freewheeling interpretation of the Delmore Brothers)\, Robbie covers themes like small-town blues\, the endurance of  childhood memory\, inebriation\, love\, divorce\, the role of music in strengthening family bonds\, losing a loved one to Alzheimer’s\, and bluegrass itself.His most recent release\, 2017’s Upland Stories\, earned year’s-best recognition from NPR and Rolling Stone among many others\, as well as two Grammy® nominations\, for folk album and American roots song (“Alabama At Night”). \n\n\n\nFulks was born in York\, Pennsylvania\, and grew up in a half-dozen small towns in southeastPennsylvania\, the North Carolina Piedmont\, and the Blue Ridge area of Virginia. He learned guitar from his dad\, banjo from Earl Scruggs and John Hartford records. He attended Columbia College in New York CityIn 1983 he moved to Chicago and joined Greg Cahill’s Special Consensus Bluegrass Band. He taught music at Old Town School of Folk Music from 1984 to 1996\, and worked as a staff songwriter on Music Row in Nashville from 1993 to 1998.His early solo work — Country Love Songs (1996) and South Mouth (1997) — helped define the“alternative country” movement of the 1990s. For most of the present century\, Robbie has been playing acoustic music through microphones\, which lets him give more attention to his flatpicking and banjo playing\, and complements his more sepia-toned subject matter — the slings of time\, the troubles of common people. \n\n\n\nHis repertory of traveling players includes folks like Shad Cobb\, Missy Raines\, RobbieGjersoe\, Jenny Scheinman\, Matt Flinner\, Don Stiernberg\, and Jesse Cobb. However\, two non-acoustic recent side projects are his 2018 duo record with Linda Gail Lewis\, Wild! Wild! Wild!\, an NPR favorite which leans to rock-and-roll and classic country-and-western\, and his double-vinyl reinterpretation of the Bob Dylan record Street-Legal\, which is titled 16\, is musically unbounded and is no one’s favorite.Radio: multiple appearances on WSM’s “Grand Ole Opry”; PRI’s “Whadd’ya Know”; NPR’s “Fresh Air\,” “Mountain Stage\,” and “World Cafe”; and the syndicated “Acoustic Cafe” and “Laura Ingraham Show.” TV: PBS’s Austin City Limits; NBC’s Today\, Late Night with Conan O’Brien\, Later with Carson Daly\, and 30 Rock. From 2004 to 2008 he hosted an hourlong performance/interview program for XM satellite radio\,“Robbie’s Secret Country.” Artists who have covered his songs include Sam Bush\, Kelly Hogan\, Andrew Bird\, Mollie O’Brien\, Rosie Flores\, John Cowan\, and Old 97s.Robbie’s writing on music and life have appeared in GQ\, Blender\, the Chicago Reader\, DaCapoPress’s Best Music Writing anthologies for 2001 and 2004\, Amplified: Fiction from Leading Alt-Country\, Indie Rock\, Blues and Folk Musicians\, and A Guitar and A Pen: Stories by Country Music’s Greatest Songwriters. As an instrumentalist\, he has accompanied the Irish fiddle master Liz Carroll\, the distinguished jazz violinist Jenny Scheinman\, and the New Orleans pianist Dr. John. As a producer his credits include Touch My Heart: A Tribute to Johnny Paycheck (Sugar Hill\, 2004) and Big Thinkin’ by Dallas Wayne (Hightone\, 2000). Theatrical credits include “Woody Guthrie’s American Song” and Harry Chapin’s “Cottonpatch Gospel.” He served twice as judge for the Winfield National Flatpicking Guitar competition. He tours yearlong with various configurations.Besides country and bluegrass music\, Robbie is fiercely fond of Charles Mingus\, P.G. Wodehouse\, quantum mechanics\, his wife Donna\, comedy in almost all forms\, cooking\, swimming laps\, the past\, Arthur Schopenhauer\, Universal horror movies\, his grandson and even his sons\, coastal towns in the offseason\, and rye whiskey\, though in nothing like that order. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:East Nash Grass at Longstaff House
DESCRIPTION:One of the hottest young bands in bluegrass\, East Nash Grass performs live at 7:00 pm Monday\, July 28 at Missoula’s Longstaff House\n\n\n\n\n\nEast Nash Grass is one of the hottest young bands in Bluegrass\, picking up this year’s International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) award for Best New Artist and stacked with IBMA Best Instrumentalist winners: Grand Master Fiddle champion and AMA Instrumentalist of the year nominee Maddie Denton\, Cory Walker (banjo)\, and Harry Clark (mandolin). Put them alongside charismatic frontman James Kee and bassist Jeff Partin (Rhonda Vincent\, etc.) and you’ve got a powerhouse leader of the next generation in bluegrass excellence. \n\n\n\nWSLR in Fogartyville calls them “a balance of undeniably hard-driving bluegrass alongside surprisingly introspective songwriting and earnest narration.” \n\n\n\nThey are far more than a group of impressive instrumental technicians. As a group that came together organically via set after set on Nashville’s East Side\, playing tiny stages for the love of it between tours backing bigger acts\, they have a hard-forged bond that’s reflected in their stage chemistry. Audiences freak out over how much fun these guys have. \n\n\n\nAs they work on the follow up to 2023’s “Last Chance To Win” — look for a release in the spring of 2025 — they now find themselves one of the most in-demand groups in Americana\, fanning out well beyond the traditional bluegrass spots. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Tom Catmull with Jeff Plankenhorn at Longstaff House
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Plankenhorn performs with Tom Catmull at Missoula’s Longstaff House at 7:00 pm Thursday\, July 17\n\n\n\n\n\nJeff Plankenhorn’s songwriting\, expressive vocals\, and musicianship are front and center on his latest album\, Alone At Sea\, produced by Colin Linden (Bruce Cockburn\, Keb Mo.) New sonic territory is explored on this gem of a long player. \n\n\n\nThe title track\, “Alone at Sea\,” is a poignant ballad nestled between two of the album’s many up-tempo tunes.It envisions an adventurous soul who’s searching for self-awareness and learns to appreciate solitude\, not unlike Plank’s experience of moving to Canada’s Vancouver Island from a 20-year stint in the landlocked confines of Austin\, TX. \n\n\n\nPlank is a highly respected musician known for his skill as a slide guitarist\, songwriter\, and vocalist. He’s gained recognition both as a solo artist and as a sought-after session musician. Plankenhorn’s musical style encompasses elements of blues\, folk\, Americana\, and roots music\, creating a sound that’s uniquely his own. \n\n\n\nFor Jeff Plankenhorn\, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of bringing people together to experience the joy music brings. He’s so good at it that he’s been recognized with Austin Music Award nominations for Musician of the Year\, Best Guitarist\, and a win Best Misc. Instrument – for “The Plank” a hybrid lap steel guitar Jeff designed himself. In 2016-2017\, he also earned Album and Song of the Year nominations for his album\, SoulSlide\, and the single “Trouble Find Me.” Listeners quickly get that Plank loves a good groove\, but he’s also become quite accomplished at composing ballads\, as proven by two of the album’s other standouts\, “Bluer Skies” and You’ll Stay.” These days\, Plank happily finds himself on the road over 150 days a year. “I like the idea that people get uplifted at my shows; just one of the great ways to escape the hubbub of day-to-day living. I like the idea that everybody who walks in — I don’t care if you’re a biker or a drag queen — I want you there. Music is supposed to bring people together.” His music does exactly that — whether people come to listen or do a little dancing. Or ideally\, both. \n\n\n\n“…his distinctive voice & sparse instrumentation that’s actually layered tones that are subtle & border between the darker Bob Dylan tunes & the melodic meanderings of Tom Waits. Very likable because Plankenhorn is a careful distance from basic mainstream artists. He walks his own road & sometimes it seems he makes his own road.”
– John Apice/Americana Highways 9/28/23 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLongstaff House always looks forward to the musicians Tom Catmull brings us from his songwriting workshops.  Tom is one of those guys who makes the Missoula music scene so special\n\n\n\nTom Catmull is a word enthusiast. They are the larger part of what makes his world go round. He’s spent the last twenty-five years in his adopted hometown of Missoula presenting words in ways to make them as alluring as possible to people who crave such things. The tricks useful to achieving this feat include infectious melody\, thoughtful arrangement\, storytelling\, some finger picking and a clean shirt. The last couple of decades have included seven full length albums\, a few television appearances (Montana PBS 11th and Grant)\, a hundred theaters performances (The Wilma\, The Rex\, The Roxy\, The Dennison\, etc)\, dozens of festivals\, countless honkytonks and two ridiculously fun national anthems. He’s been the supporting act for Robert Earl Keen\, Charlie Musselwhite\, Junior Brown\, Asleep at the Wheel and a dozen others. There exists some confidence that his roots driven Americana songs are worthy of your time. Don’t be fooled\, though. The acoustic guitar\, harmonica and hat are just cheap ploys to get the words out in front of you. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Matt Heckler & Joe's Truck Stop at Longstaff House
DESCRIPTION:Matt Heckler and Joe’s Truck Stop perform Appalachian and Ohio mountain music and bluegrass at Missoula’s Longstaff House 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm Friday\, July 11\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt Heckler is a multi-instrumentalist that barely fits into any ordinary musical category. He tends to keep to the darker side of Appalachian mountain music and early bluegrass but listen long enough and you’ll soon be transported to the mountains of Eastern Europe or a dimly lit bar in Ireland where they honor those who have passed with a gently swaying a cappella ballad.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom a ridge in the Ohio River Valley\, on a front porch where Kentucky’s visible through the winter’s bare trees\, Joe’s Truck Stop conspires over a smoking blend of Bluegrass\, Honky Tonk\, Western Swing\, and whatever else finds itself inhaled and manifested by way of a wood box and steel wire. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Related

Because of this openness\, they create a meaningful shared experience with the audience at every show\, and often leave people laughing. \n\n\n\n“This hyper-talented young female-fronted group has only been together the past four years\, and are rapidly establishing themselves as a fresh voice in the industry with performances at major festivals\, from a base in the Carolinas. Their charm derives from a wealth of strong original material\, and a ‘just right’ mix of old time and bluegrass sounds.” – John Lawless\, Bluegrass Today \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Release the Squirrels - CD Release Party at Longstaff House
DESCRIPTION:Release the Squirrels celebrates the release of their new CD with a show/party at Missoula’s Longstaff House 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm Friday\, June 27\n\n\n\n\n\nRelease the Squirrels is a shiny new bluegrass quintet\, pushing the boundaries of the traditional bluegrass cage.  Hailing from the valleys of Western Montana\, the five group members each bring a unique perspective to the band\, creating a cohesive and dynamic voice.  From danceable old-time original compositions to artful covers of modern songs\, the Squirrels have a broad repertoire that appeals to every audience. \n\n\n\nWith a deep appreciation for bluegrass traditions\, influences like Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Album Band are present\, however the group has a penchant for crafting bold arrangements to pay tribute to the past with a modern flavor.  The depth of their musicianship is evidenced by masterful flatpicking\, hard driving banjo\, and rock steady upright bass.  Listeners also delight to hear hypnotizing fiddle melodies and inspired mandolin licks interspersed amongst a tapestry of three-part vocal harmonies. \n\n\n\nThe Squirrels might be spotted rattling cages at Bluegrass Festivals\, mountain venues\, breweries\, and private events across Montana and around the region. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	Related
