Okkervil River flows through Filling Station Oct. 29

Outlaw PartnersBOZEMAN – Okkervil River on Tuesday, Oct. 29 makes a stop at the Filling Station in
Bozeman, Mont. during its coast-to-coast tour.
The Austin-based indie rock band is touring in support of their seventh album, The
Silver Gymnasium, released Sept. 3. The concept album takes place in 1986 in the
small town of Meriden, N.H., where front man Will Sheff grew up.
Sheff likens the spirit of The Silver Gymnasium to “an action figure you found in the
woods,” he said in a press release. “New Hampshire is the woods, the ’80s is the
action figure, but neither of them is interesting to me on their own; it’s the way they
go together.” That overlap between the ordinary and the otherworldly resonates
throughout the eleven new songs.
The band formed in 1998 and has performed with such acts as the Decembrists, The
New Pornographers, The National and Lou Reed. Their sound is synth-heavy with
driving rhythms, and relies on Sheff’s edgy voice and poetic lyrics.
“I’m not standing on top of the mountain, screaming that my childhood was special
and everyone should pay attention to it,” Sheff said. “I am a firm believer that if you
make your work very honest and personal, then it’s going to be meaningful to
people who aren’t like you but have feelings like yours.”
The album’s tracks reference Atari video games, VCR machines, cassette tapes and
the films and television shows of that era, underscoring how pop culture shaped –
and disoriented – Sheff and his childhood friends, according to the press release.
Although The Silver Gymnasium is Okkervil River’s seventh studio full-length
recording, the idea for this album has been percolating in Sheff’s head for years. You
can hear the result of that percolation at the Filling Station show, when they play
with special guest Matthew E. White.
The Outlaw Partners is a creative marketing, media and events company based in Big Sky, Montana.

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.
