BOZEMAN – This fall, the Hooligans released its debut album Beggars and Thieves. It was recorded over a couple of weeks in the fall of 2012 at Yellowstone House, an 1870’s log home on the banks of the Yellowstone River.
Produced by Little Feat founder/keyboardist Bill Payne and Tom Garnsey, the nine-song recording features original material, as well as a few carefully chosen covers from Richard Thompson and Natalie Merchant, and a reworking of the Appalachian folk ballad, “Katy Cruel.”
Of special significance is “7th Daughter,” one of 17 songs co-written by Bill Payne and legendary Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter this past year. Payne’s contribution to the recording as the producer/keyboardist/singer and co-writer is significant. He brings over 40 years of performance, production and recording skills to the table, and they are evident in Beggars and Thieves.
The record also features guest spots from Tim O’Brien on fiddle, New Orleans’ own Spencer Bohren on lap steel, Jimmy Lange on keyboards, reggae great Pato Banton on vocals and Alison Garnsey on backing vocals.
The album’s tracks were recorded and engineered by Bozeman resident and Grammy Award winning artist Cornell “Doc” Wiley, who has worked with U2, Prince, and Whitney Houston. Mastering for Beggars and Thieves was completed by Gavin Lurssen of Lurssen Mastering, a world-renowned multi Grammy-award winning studio.
Beggars and Thieves comfortably and seamlessly straddles several genres of music from rock to blues, reggae to folk and Americana, all filtered through decades of live performance to create a rootsy sound unique to the Hooligans.
Genre-bending flexibility has provided countless opportunities for the Hooligans to share the stage with some of America’s finest: The Band, Burning Spear, The Wailers, Michael Franti, Rodney Crowell, String Cheese Incident, Widespread Panic, Alabama Shakes, and Hot Tuna, among many others.
Hear the Hooligans play tracks from the new record, as well as old favorites, at the Outlaw Partners’ Mountain Outlaw magazine release party at El Patron in Big Sky on Friday, Dec. 6, at 6 p.m. No cover.
Beggars and Thieves is available locally at Cactus Records in Bozeman, Rockin’ Rudys in Missoula and online at hooligansmontana.com, iTunes, and amazon.com.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
$170.
