This Week in Concerts: June 21st thru June 26th

Missoula’s beloved psych-rockers Tiny Plastic Stars will perform their Farewell Show. The band members are going their separate ways, so this will be their last hurrah! Fellow Zootown rockers FUULS will open.

Acclaimed guitarist and vocalist Jim James (of My Morning Jacket) and psych-rock dream team The Claypool Lennon Delirium (Les Claypool & Sean Lennon) are co-headlining what might be the most psychedelic show at the KettleHouse Amphitheater this summer.

Plus, they’ll be joined by long standing indie rock outfit, Built to Spill. And if that’s not enough, keep scrolling, because there’s more music after the show!

Right after you’re done rocking out with Jim James and The Claypool Lennon Delirium at the Amp, head to the Top Hat in downtown Missoula to keep the party going with Locksaw Cartel!

The Locksaw Cartel is a high energy, hard driving original ensemble featuring powerful clear vocals complimented with soaring guitar and piano leads. Formed in the fall of 2012, The Locksaw Cartel is formed of members who have been proficient in the Missoula music scene for the last decade.

Patty Griffin is a Grammy award winning singer songwriter who over the course of two decades has crafted ten classic studio albums and two live collections.

Her 1996 debut, Living With Ghosts, and its 1998 follow-up, Flaming Red are considered seminal works of modern folk and Americana. Since then her diverse body of work spans such classic LPs as 2002’s Grammy award nominated 1000 Kisses – later ranked #15 on Paste’s “The 50 Best Albums of the Decade (2000-2009),” — to 2007’s Children Running Through, honored by the Americana Music Association with two Americana Honors & Awards including “Artist of the Year” and “Album of the Year.”

Robert Earl Keen sold out the Top Hat in 2015 and played to a sold out crowd at the Wilma in 2018 with friend and collaborator Lyle Lovett. REK recorded his first album in 1984, and has gone on to release more than 15 albums. He’s regarded as one of the Lone Star State’s most treasured singer-songwriters. He was inducted into the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2012.

In March 2015, REK was recognized as the first recipient of BMI’s official Troubadour Award. He’s also an active member of NARAS and was invited to be a participant in the prestigious “Grammys On The Hill” where he sang the National Anthem at the opening ceremony and was a member.

Lyle and his Large Band will make their return to KettleHouse Amphitheater after previously playing the grand opening of the Amp back in July 2017. Earlier this year, he performed at the Wilma with John Hiatt to a sold out crowd. It seems like Montana has a special affinity for the “Cowboy Man,” one that is certainly shared by Lyle himself. He’s frequently noted his love for the Logjam concerts at the Wilma and KettleHouse Amphitheater.

Since his self-titled debut in 1986, Lyle Lovett has won four Grammy Awards, he was given the Americana Music Association’s inaugural Trailblazer Award, was named Texas State Musician, and has released 14 albums.

Led by Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance – who have maintained a close friendship since meeting at age 15 in Magnolia, TX – Jamestown Revival is pursuing their own musical vision by focusing on their roots and harmonies.

They’re hot off their new album San Isabel. Atwood Magazine gave the album high praise with their headline reading “Brilliance in Simplicty Makes Jamestown Revival’s ‘San Isabel’ a Triumph.” You can stream the new album on our folk playlist here.
