Weekend PICKS: Thursday, September 9th thru Sunday, September 12th
The change of seasons is in the air. Despite a couple hot days this past week, the weekend will get back to cooler weather making for fantastic days (and nights) to be outdoors. Some events are winding down, with the end of farmers market season and all the bounty of summer on the horizon, and the last Paddleheads home stand for the regular season. Others are just ramping up – like the first season home game for Griz Football, hot off our beloved Griz’ win over Washington last weekend. And – never forget – Saturday will mark the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorists attacks on our country, with somber observances in remembrance of lives lost and changed forever.
The MUG is here with all the happenings this weekend around Missoula, and up the Bitterroot and Flathead valleys. School is back in session – welcome back UM students, GO GRIZ! There’s live local music all over the place. Get out and enjoy our area farmers markets, bars & restaurants with Montana grown / made food and beverages. And – floating the river is almost over, 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.
“Nobody on the road,
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer’s out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I’m driving by your house
Though I know you’re not home
But I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back
And your sunglasses on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone”
– Don Henley, “The Boys of Summer“

Rose Memorial Garden Park
800 Brooks Street
Missoula, MT 59801
The Never Forget Service commemorating September 11, 2001 will take place Saturday, September 11, 2021 at Rose Memorial Garden Park along Brooks Street in Missoula, Montana starting at 7 p.m. in front of the Vietnam Memorial. The Never Forget Service has taken place at Rose Park every year at this time since 2002.
At 6 p.m., 4,000 tiny American flags provided by the Missoula Exchange Club will be placed in the ground in front of the Vietnam Memorial to honor the thousands of innocent men, women and children that died that day 20 years ago at the hands of terrorists. Members of the ROTC, Boy Scout Troop 1911, Missoula Civil Air Patrol, Missoula Exchange Club and members of the public will place the flags. Anyone who arrives will place flags, so come.
Due to limited seating at Rose Memorial Garden Park, bring lawn chairs. Speaking this year will be former U.S. Navy Seal Team Six Commander and Former U.S. Congressman Ryan Zinke who will dedicate his remarks to the men and women that have fought to defeat terrorism in the world as members of the armed forces and to specifically honor the military personnel that fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. Also speaking will be Missoula County Sheriff Capt. Bill Burt who will dedicate his remarks to the men and women police officers that died on 9/11, the most number of first responders that died in the history of the USA. Once again, retired firefighter Tom Zeigler will read the names of his friends that were firefighters in New York City on 911 and died in the Twin Towers. Tom has read those names every year.
Honor and color guard units from around Western Montana will participate, including the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 209 Honor Guard, American Legion Post 27 Color Guard, Knights of Columbus Patriotic Order, Missoula Civil Air Patrol, Boy Scouts of America, and the University of Montana ROTC Color Guard. The procession will begin at the Korean War Memorial and slow walk to the Vietnam Memorial starting at 7 p.m. sharp. The firing of a three-volley salute and the playing of TAPS will end the ceremony. As the procession returns to the Korean War Memorial, a firefighter will toll a bell. A bagpiper will play Amazing Grace.
The public is welcome to attend the placement of the flags at 6 p.m. and the ceremony at 7 p.m.

IZAAK OPATZ
Izaak Opatz’s 2018 debut Mariachi Static (Mama Bird Recording Co.) packed confessional and inventive storytelling into musically surprising garage pop tunes he’d describe as dirtwave, a genre Woody Guthrie might’ve fallen into had he surfed and danced with his hips. Although he resists being slopped into the alt-country/Americana trough, Montana-born Opatz appreciates the country genre for its love of wordplay, Wranglers, and the indulgent sad bastard angle. But he’d rather tweak and sidestep its predictable musical architecture and adornments to create something new and surprising.2020’s Hot & Heavy-Handed does just that, remaking a collection of two Opatz originals and nine country covers (ranging from Tom T. Hall to Dierks Bentley) in the dirtwave mold. Made with significant help from collaborators and co-producers Malachi DeLorenzo and Dylan Rodrigue, the record deconstructs the radio-ready production of many of the songs to reframe their emotional fragility with the trio’s loose-handed and good-humored homemade musical jubilance. Additionally, Opatz’s feels-heavy delivery can’t help but humble many of these songs’ charging swagger to a more vulnerable lope. The two originals on the record (‘Lubbock For Love’ and ‘You Made A Country Singer Out Of Me’) were plucked from Opatz’s college-days outfit, The Best Westerns. ‘Lubbock’ has the bones of pop country hit from the 90s, while the cowpunk ‘Country Singer’ celebrates and lampoons the genre, gives credit to his heartbreaker for the songs she caused him to write, and predicts a future (now real) label head expressing gratitude at the profitability (haha) of his sorrow.
MADDIE ALPERT
Maddie Alpert is a singer songwriter with a knack for soft and clear-cut introspection of the alt/indie folk persuasion. Masks are encouraged at all Show Room events at this time. For further information, accessibility, and inquiries please visit https://www.zootownarts.org/meet-the-zacc/about/.
