Music on Main

It seems like just yesterday we were welcoming back the food vendors, the foam machine, the big stage with Andy Larson and, of course, the big crowds that have been commonplace at Music on Main events every Thursday throughout the summer. And here we are at the final event. But what an event it is going to be. As in years past, Missoula's hot country band ShoDown will be the musical guest and these guys are the closers for a reason. They are one of the top bands in the Northwest and have become a favorite of many here in Butte.

As the summer comes to a close, the organizers of this summer's Music on Main series of Thursday evening celebrations in Uptown Butte obviously planned on turning up the heat a little bit as the weather cools down. This week it is veteran Butte band F.O.G. on the big stage and anyone who has seen them at previous Music on Main events knows that this is definitely their type of crowd. F.O.G. is Toby Schelin and Dennis Weis on guitars, Mark James on bass and Gary Robinson on drums will all four on vocals. If you're hungry for good food and great music, this Thursday will have both.

Music on Main is entering its final 3 weeks but things are by no means slowing down. In fact, with the number of food trucks expected tonight along with one of Butte's favorite bands performing, you could say that they are indeed gearing up for a big finish.

This Thursday evening's "Music on Main" in Uptown Butte is simply going to be a lot of fun. Back again are the popular Bozeman trio Bluebelly Junction who promise to bring "spicy originals, mind-blowing mashups and top shelf covers" to the Main Street Stage and as we've seen on this very stage before, this particular band delivers on their promises.

If the turnout the past several weeks is any indicator, this Thursday night's "Music on Main" event is going to be a big one. Coupled with a favorable forecast and one of Butte's most popular bands and you've got something. Add one of Montana's premiere guitar players to the mix and it adds up to an evening of great music, food and fun that you will want to come early for.

After last week's incredible turnout and another world-class performance from the Ken Rich Band, Uptown Butte's popular "Music on Main" series will continue Thursday evening with Butte band High Ore Road. The area's weather forecast looks perfect, and another big evening is expected for kids and adults alike.

There is not a better way to pregame the Montana Folk Festival which gets underway Friday in Uptown Butte than with Music on Main this Thursday with the Ken Rich Band. Indeed while the festival is renowned for bringing in world class entertainers from around the globe, one can argue that the Ken Rich Band, born and bred right here in Butte, Montana, belongs on the world stage as well.

Week #2 of Uptown Butte's immensely popular Music on Main series is ready to roll with food vendors, live music, a magician and if the weather holds, a scavenger hunt for the kids and even a foam machine if the weather holds.

This week is a great time to get out of the house and take in a show or two

Two of Butte's favorite things return this Thursday night as Wayne Brothers and the Nite Life Band will officially kick off the 2023 "Music on Main" series of music, food and fun that will be held every Thursday night through the summer between 6 and 9pm on Main Street between Park and Broadway.
