July 3rd – Yam Haus

Indie Rock

A lot of musical acts build on the success of their early music. However, for indie rock band Yam Haus, each time they release new music is an exploratory step in their musical evolution — particularly this time around with their most recent single, “One Bullet Left.” The track marks an introduction to a new era for the Minneapolis group. “One Bullet Left” is a sincere blend of heartland indie-rock that still serves the songcraft quality Yam Haus first became known for. It also brings a new level of songwriting maturity and honest self-expression to their mostly single-driven discography. Yam Haus is quickly shedding its pop image and establishing itself as a genuine guitar-driven act. The band is hoping to deliver a body of work that feels honest and elevated to earn an expanded audience with the new output. Yam Haus feels like they are just getting started on this paradigm shift.

Kalyn’s songs are meticulously crafted narratives, with clever and infectious melodies and hooks. An authentic Westerner, his life as a cowboy, rodeo-hand, pilot, bookseller, and outdoorsman has furnished him with a novel palette from which he paints his songs and stories. Kalyn makes his home in the high, dry mountains of Northern Wyoming, land of geysers and grizzlies.

July 24th - The Dead & Down

Exploratory Roots-Rock

The Dead & Down are an exploratory roots-rock band inspired as much by the vast landscapes and dramatic mountain ranges of their Montana home as they are by the myriad musical influences that weave through their sound. Based around the introspective songwriting and dusty vocals of frontman Taylor Burlage, the band navigates sonic trails between rust-flecked alt country and swampy rock ‘n’ roll, with detours through psychedelia and genre-bending experimentation. They have opened for the likes of Paul Cauthen, Futurebirds, and the Last Revel and have hit the stage at Under the Big Sky Music Festival, Red Ants Pants Music Festival and more. Their recently released sophomore album, No Broken Bones, displays the sound of a band hungry to find out what lies beyond the next ridge and only just beginning their journey.

“The Dead & Down have a sound that doesn't fit into one bin. They combine elements of Country, Americana, and Rock for a sonic experience that stays interesting. Their new song, “Switchbacks” has a solid country-rock feel, but the break in the middle is a lot more akin to prog rock. It's a combo that works!” - Bob Wall, KGVM Bozeman

“Alt-country, but on the moon––– and still so down to earth.” - The Pulp, Missoula
