Local Missoula & Bozeman DJs Confirmed as Support for Dirtwire Shows
Dirtwire’s Montana concerts just leveled up with some locally sourced DJs! Missoula’s SounSiva will be opening at The Wilma on Friday, Sep. 17th and Bozeman’s Buddah is getting things started at The ELM on Saturday, Sep. 18th.
One of the great parts of having nationally touring bands swing through Montana is the often accompanying opportunity for local artists to showcase their skills ahead of the main event. It’s a fun way to see the local music community converge at all angles — from promoter, venue, patron and artist.
Missoula
Originally from Kalispell, Montana, and now based in Missoula, Tyler Hawkins a.k.a. SounSiva is especially stoked about The Wilma show:
“I’m humbled, excited, grateful… the list goes on. Pretty much one giant butterfly, and still mind blown for the opportunity to join Dirtwire on the Wilma stage. This is a dream come true. I’m thrilled to deliver a special auditory experience from myself to the beautiful community I call home. Thank you for the continued love and support Missoula.”
Bozeman
Randy Vaughn, known as Buddah, will have a particularly unique experience as he’ll be one of the first Bozemanites to hit the newly open, state of the art ELM.
Both SounSiva and Buddha, deliver a wide ranging array of sonic sensations that should pair well with Dirtwire’s eclectic “swamptronica.” Tickets for both shows are still available below!
