LIVE MUSIC!
There are three great musical acts lined up for the day, gracing the Town Center Pavilion stage from 10:30 until 5 p.m.
Local favorite bluegrass trio Bluebird Sky will kick off the day with some of their acoustic sounds on guitar and mandolin.
Chase McBride, a Montana native and accomplished 3rd generation musician was based out of California during his college days and northwestern national tour but is now back to his roots here in Big Sky Country, coming to the us as a soulful, funky folk trio with tunes that are sure to make you want to shake your groove thing.
Paperbird, from Boulder, Colorado, is an indie-pop bluegrass group that mixes banjo, trombone, and a host of other instruments in their eight-piece band to create a vintage sound.
