Aoide Chamber Singers Spring Choral Recital at St. Fracis Xavier Church

Their programs feature music ranging from Gregorian chant and music of the renaissance through spirituals and contemporary choral literature. Aoide frequently performs in the community of Bozeman and will be touring to Belgrade, Missoula, and Kalispell to perform for high schools and communities in Western Montana this May. Their tour will end with singing Mass in the Cathedral of St. Helena on May 11.

Thursday 5/8
Pert Near Sandstone (FOLK) at the Top Hat Lounge
10PM
21+
Description: Take old time music off the back porch, throw out the hillbilly reputation, and put it in the hands of a group of guys that like to work hard and play even harder. Pert Near Sandstone rejuvenates American stringband music with raw energy; they play tightly-crafted original material that lends itself to the modern audience, as well as being stewards of the old-time and bluegrass traditions. They are just as at home playing fully acoustic in the traditional style as they are plugged in at an indie rock venue. From saloons to theaters, hollering into a single microphone and laying thick rhythm on driving fiddle melodies, their sweat-inducing, foot-stomping live performances keep crowds begging for more all night long.
