Weekend PICKS from The MUG August 26 thru August 29

Share The MUG

It’s the last weekend of August, and while the days are getting noticeably shorter, we finally got our pleasant weather back. This is the last Thursday for Downtown Tonight in Missoula, and a handful of the area farmers markets are wrapping up their summer seasons already, with a full bounty of locally-grown produce. Comedy and karaoke are happening all over! The River City Roots Fest will be the center of the Missoula universe, and the big Flathead Rodeo is happening all weekend in Polson with live music nightly.

The MUG is here with all the happenings this weekend around Missoula, and up the Bitterroot and Flathead valleys. There’s live local music all over the place. Get out and enjoy our area bars & restaurants with Montana grown / made food and beverages. And – floating the river is still good, enjoy what’s left of summer while we can. Please enjoy safely and responsibly.

Please note that events are subject to cancellation or change at the last minute. Be sure to check the event links to confirm your plans.

After his father passed away in 1975, Richie moved to South Lake Tahoe to be near his Mother. While there, he met and joined The Live Wire Choir and toured the northwest for 4 years in a green, 1945 Flexible bus. They were signed to a one-album deal with Helios Records, based in Missoula, Montana and recorded the “Blue” album. When L.W.C. disbanded in 1979, Richie left California and moved to Missoula. Richie toured with local bands such as “The Skanksters” (1986-1988), “The Blazers” (1989-1991),”The Dreadbeats” (1991-1993) and was lucky enough to tour the beautiful Adariatic countries of Slovenia, Italy and Austria of Southern Central Europe with “The Psyclones” (1993) “The Shadows” (1994) “The Wolfrats” (1995) and “The Sundogz” (1996).

Thursday, August 26 @ 7:00 pm – Saturday, August 28 @ 11:45 pm
Camp Horror Film Festival
The Roxy Theater
718 S. Higgins Street, Missoula, Montana

Camp Horror is a film festival a little bit different from the rest. This festival came to life after The Roxy started its monthly horror film series “Trash Talk”, where trashy b-movies get their time to shine amongst the high indie art the theater is known for. After seeing how Missoula showed up to sell out films like “Tammy & The T-Rex”, we knew there was something special happening. So to honor that community and give it a place to grow, Camp Horror was born. Camp Horror strives to be a home for gory classics, while giving newer stories a platform. Add in a few sprinkles of live comedy and after camp parties and you just had a slice of the perfect cake.

John Reischman and Eli West
Longstaff House
601 Longstaff Street, Missoula, Montana

Bring along a donation for the music, some food and drink, masks and a lawn chair if you wish.

John Reischman is one of the premier mandolinists of his generation. He’s a master instrumentalist capable of swinging between re-inventions of traditional old-time tunes, deconstructions from the bluegrass repertoire, and compelling original tunes, many of which have become standards. He’s also a powerful bandleader, touring his band the Jaybirds all over Canada and the United States. A member of the groundbreaking Tony Rice Unit, Reischman’s mastery of bluegrass, old-time, swing, and multiple Latin American musical styles, coupled with an Old Master’s sense of tone, taste, and musicality, has brought him a global reputation as one of the finest mandolinists of his era. But most of all, he’s an understated visionary, the kind of master craftsman whose music is virtuosic without ever being flashy and who is renowned for his impeccable taste and tone as an artist. John Reischman embodies the true spirit of acoustic music in the 21st century.

Eli West is a Seattle-based multi-instrumental musician and interactive graphic designer. With an interest in angular phrasing and non-traditional improvisation within the historic precedents of bluegrass and old-time music, his playing both grounds and pushes the ensembles he is involved with. Well-known for his work with Norwegian fiddler Olav Mjelva, Cahalen Morrison, Jayme Stone and more, the Seattle-based singer and multi-instrumentalist oozes understated talent. He has released three records as half of the new/old-time duo Cahalen Morrison & Eli West, which tours regularly throughout the US and Europe. Eli is an active ingredient playing guitar, banjo, and bouzouki with both Jayme Stone’s Lomax Project and John Reischman and the Pine Siskins.
