On Sunday, July 13 at 6 p.m., the Bozeman Public Library will host bluegrass group Scratchin’ Gravel for the first of two free concerts in the library’s annual series, Music on the Green.
Hailing from southwest Montana, the acoustic band features a variety of stringed instruments, vocal harmony and styles, and decades of experience, according to a press release from the City of Bozeman. The band includes Isaac Winemiller on upright bass, Zander Chovanes on mandolin, Silas Rea on fiddle, Mike Singer on banjo, and Jon Degroot and Kevin Fabozzi on acoustic guitar.
“Music on the Green is a beloved community-building event,” Ben Nielsen, the library’s head of adult programming and outreach, stated in the release. “We love it because we not only get to showcase the incredible talent we have right here in southwest Montana, but we get to gather and enjoy music together with our friends and family. We hope all can join us and appreciate music during this free event.”
The library encourages attendees to bring chairs, blankets and dancing shoes.
Eight-piece ska band Hornbread will play the second concert of the summer on Aug. 17 at 6 p.m.
The library thanked Valley Credit Union for its “generous support” to the Bozeman Public Library and Friends Foundation, which enables the free concert series in downtown Bozeman.
