July 9: The Dead & Down

The Dead & Down is a gang of space cowboys waging holy war against silence and overpriced breakfast. The band envelopes the thoughtful and often heavy songwriting of Taylor Burlage in a blanket of sound descended from southern rock, psychedelia, and a few too many drinks. The Dead & Down will take you on a journey; moments of cosmic flare and pure, unadulterated rock and roll balanced with a western feel. Formerly known as Not James Taylor, the Dead & Down was started as a duo project between songwriter Taylor Burlage and guitarist James Burne. After a year of gigging they amassed a solid local following in their hometown of Bozeman, Montana. Through a series of chance mishaps and lucky breaks they added Josh Higginbottom on drums, Matt Angelo on keys, and Dave Efries on bass to create a truly Montanan sound that reflects their eclectic backgrounds. 

August 20: Dead Sky

Built on a passion for the legacy of the Grateful Dead and unforgettable live performances, this 6 piece Bozeman band is comprised of 3 vocalists, 2 guitarists, bass, drums and keys who have been playing Grateful Dead tunes together since their first show at The Filling Station November 1st, of 2019. The group is made up of musicians who have played together in a variety of local acts for many years; including Pinky and the Floyd, M.O.T.H., Kelly Nicholson Band, Tsunami Funk and the Hooligans. They have overcame many tribulations since they began, including the loss of their founding member Joe Knapp, and have organically grown into one of Bozeman’s most cherished tribute bands.
