The best part about fall in Missoula isn’t foliage or football, although those are pretty nice. No – it’s the return (and new arrival) of University of Montana students that really lifts our post-summer spirits. Why? Because as much fun as we had floating the rivers, hiking the trails and cooking out the past three […]

Vinally Friday – 9/23
Cheap Thrills made her a star, but it was 1971’s Pearl that cemented Janis Joplin’s status as a rock ‘n’ roll legend. Sadly, the singer/songwriter never got to realize the impact the album would make because she died before it was released. In fact, Joplin’s heroin overdose in October, 1970, came before she had even […]
New Tracks – 9/20
It’s hard to believe that a road dog like Bob Weir hasn’t put out an album of completely original work for over 30 years – but thus is the nature of being a road dog like Bob Weir. Until now. Fresh off the road with Dead & Company, Weir is embarking on a new solo adventure. The […]

Vinally Friday – 9/9
Before Bonnie Raitt was an acclaimed blues guitarist and singer, she was just a fiery touring act – respected by critics and musicians within the blues circle before reaching anything close to her commercial success of the 1980s through today. Financial situation aside, though, you might argue the early 1970s were Raitt’s glory days, where she built her […]
New Tracks – 9/6
This week we return from summer’s last hurrah just in time to embrace some amazing new music slated for release this fall. In September alone we’ll be rewarded for our patience with new material from Bon Iver, Dawes and Greensky Bluegrass. October will follow-up with a new album from Jimmy Eat World, and both months […]
Vinally Friday – 9/2
Elton John and his songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin, were far from the American Old West in 1970, but still they didn’t let that get in the way of their fascination with the culture and the code. Taupin, especially, drew lyrical inspiration from other similarly influenced bands of the era – Creedence Clearwater Revival and The Band, to name […]
New Tracks – 8/30
This week on “New Tracks on the Trail” we’re focused almost solely on bands that will be playing in Missoula. The exception would a little outfit called Red Hot Chili Peppers. Perhaps Robert chose to include them in the Tuesday lineup with hope that it would somehow inspire them to schedule a Missoula stop in […]
