Butte's 'Music on Main" Thursday to feature Bluebelly Junction

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.

Bluebelly Junction has been around for about a decade now and are the definition of a power trio. Up front is Levi "The Cap'n" Main on lead guitar and vocals. On bass is Ben "Beef" Broyles who plays both the standup and electric versions and "slaps both like they owe him money". Rounding out the rhythm section is drummer Navarre "Baby Face" Larsen and his thundering beats. Their set list runs the gamete from Guns N Roses to Snoop Dogg and they have gained a repuation as one of the top wedding reception bands.
