The Lil Smokies heat up New Year’s Eve at The Wilma

Bluegrass phenoms The Lil Smokies are heading back to Montana for a special New Year’s Eve performance at The Wilma in Missoula on Dec. 31. The show will also feature special guests, the American roots duo Two Runner.

A staple of the string music scene in Montana, The Lil Smokies blend virtuosic instrumental acrobatics with riveting lyrical craftsmanship, The Lil Smokies have earned a reputation as one of the most electrifying acts in modern American roots music thanks to their exhilarating live show and critically acclaimed studio output.

Since forming on the streets of Missoula where the group got its start busking back in 2009, the band has performed everywhere from Red Rocks to The Rialto and captivated festival audiences at Telluride, High Sierra, LOCKN’, Freshgrass, FloydFest, and countless more. Their latest album, 2020’s “Tornillo,” showcases the hard touring four-piece at its most adventurous, teaming up with producer Bill Reynolds (The Avett Brothers, Band Of Horses) for a genre-bending joyride from the hills of Laurel Canyon to the wide open deserts of West Texas.
