Kettlehouse Amphitheatre

When Slash, the lead guitarist from Guns N Roses, decided to put together a 29-date tour with a number of blues legends, he began the tour at the Kettlehouse Amphitheater in Missoula.

William Munoz writes, "A sense of unity is created at most live concerts. The fans of String Cheese Incident were certainly united this past weekend at the Kettlehouse Amphitheater."

The 2023 outdoor concert season began May 13 with Bret Young and closed on Sept. 22 with Goose. In between, there were nearly 40 outdoor concerts between the Kettlehouse and Big Sky amphitheaters.

William Munoz writes, "Goose has developed a national following that rivals some older bands. Their sets are typical of the genera, a slow buildup to a blistering lead guitar solo."

William Munoz writes, "The Counting Crows have succeeded to be a 'good' band, one that Robbie Robertson recognized all those years ago."

William Munoz writes, "The advent of alternative rock bands in the early to mid 1980's like Sonic Youth, R.E.M., Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden and The Smiths, were foundational in moving the genera into the psyche of a generation."

William Munoz writes, "Her live concert is a testament to her brilliance as one of the countries true musical gems."

William Munoz writes, "Stirling has taken playing the violin to another level. If you are thinking classical violin or bluegrass fiddle, you will be disappointed. You don't play intense and rapid notes and dance with the physical movement that she does."

The stage at the Kettlehouse Amphitheater was filled with more than 80 musicians with the Missoula Symphony on Wednesday, each there to musically support Ben Folds and his new album, “What Matters Most.”

In a statement posted to their website Monday, local entertainment conglomerate Logjam Presents announced they penned a deal with Live Nation Entertainment.
