BIG SKY – The Arts Council of Big Sky is pleased to announce another amazing summer of free Music in the Mountains.
Between June 25 and Aug. 27, Town Center Park’s Center Stage will serve as the setting for 13 free events, including the fifth annual Big Sky Classical Music Festival. The park opens at 6 p.m. and music starts at 7 p.m. Attendance is free, and food and drink will be available from several local vendors at the park.
On Thursday, July 2, the Arts Council welcomes Sons of Bill to Town Center Park for the band’s first Big Sky appearance.
“This is a record that takes me back to some of the creative heights we achieved in Wilco,” said producer Ken Coomer about Sons of Bill’s latest LP, “Love and Logic,” which the group released in September. “I’m only interested in making records that are still going to be relevant ten years from now, and this is one of them. It’s unmistakably the real thing.”
Rolling Stone magazine calls the album “lush and beautiful … a classic roots rock album for the modern age.” The magazine also listed the band’s tour as a “must-see” event of the summer.
This is an ambitious album for the three brothers Sam, Abe, and James Wilson, who collaborated on the singing and songwriting to produce 45 minutes of deeply introspective lyrics. As for the record’s sound, the players’ Virginia roots clearly run deep: The Wilsons feature dreamy pedal steel, banjo, and three part harmonies that only could have been learned at church. But the music moves into enough layered pop productions and rock ‘n’ roll bravado throughout to keep you guessing as to who these boys are, and what they’ve been listening to.
Though Sons of Bill became more than Charlottesville’s best kept secret with the 2012 release of “Sirens,” a brash rock and roll record that debuted on the Billboard top 200, “Love and Logic” marks a distinct evolution for the brothers – their new sound is more sober, and reflective, like that of a band coming into its own.
Other Music in the Mountains events this summer include the Tiny Band on July 4; Incendio on July 9; The Suffers on July 16; the Whiskey Gentry on July 23; Montana Shakespeare in the Parks on Aug. 2; Corb Lund on Aug. 6; the Big Sky Classical Music Festival Aug. 7-9; Royal Southern Brotherhood on Aug. 13; the Brothers Comatose on Aug. 20; and Euforquestra on Aug. 27.

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.
