The pandemic challenged Jake Smith, who is The White Buffalo, like many other musicians, to look at music in an entirely different way.

The Missoula Symphony Orchestra and Chorale dazzled a packed house at the University of Montana on Friday to kick off its 2022 Holiday Pops series.

Literally 25 years later to the day the band came to Missoula's Wilma Theater to play the songs in order as they originally appeared.

Martha Scanlan and Jon Neufeld have successfully created a new album, 'Last Stars First Night,' which they performed at the album release party tour at the Wilma Theatre.

Lyle Lovett and John Haitt shared with the sold-out Missoula audience their stories behind the story, giving a greater glimpse into the craft of songwriting.

William Munoz writes, "No big production, just great music meant to speak to your own life experiences. The sold-out Wilma was treated to this by a singer/songwriter who knows what it means to be alive."

The concert was opened by the Tedeschi Trucks Band long-time keyboard player Gabe Dixon, playing a set with his band. They were joined for a song each by Susan Tedeschi and then Derek Trucks.

William Munoz writes, "I've seen Shakey Graves three more times and each show is better. This comes to the Shakey Graves concert this week at the Kettlehouse - the 10th anniversary of Roll the Bones."
