i carry your heart
June 12- July 25
Radius Gallery’s upcoming exhibition showcases the minds and methods of Ric Gendron, Gabriel Kulka and Mel McCuddin, three artists whose narrative work explores life’s dark corners and bright horizons– evoking its mystery, humor and humanity.
The title of the exhibition is derived from a poem by e.e. cummings, which reads in part:
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Modified Lockdown
Rustic Hut
5341 US-93
Florence, MT 59833
Modified Lockdown is an eclectic duo based in the Bitterroot Valley. The crux of the band features heart-wrenching harmonies tossed over a salad of reimagined covers dressed as duets and a side of original tunes. Drawing from far too many influences, their sound is best described as a Modern Outlaw Roadhouse soundtrack, a harmonious soup of soulful Americana with highlights of Alt-country, Blues, Folk, and good old fashioned Rock & Roll. Their vocal stylings have been likened to Tom Waits and Bonnie Raitt mixing cocktails with The Civil Wars during Prohibition. These two musicians teach high school all day long and although they both love their jobs, they can get a little burned out at times. This band is the outlet that provides them with the placebo of temporary sanity, and they let it all out on the stage through seasoned vocal chords and an array of guitars that both holler and gently weep.
This is their first time at the hut, come on out and show them some love!
