Barrel Stove Combo - Full Jazz Concert on the Press Floor
On Friday, June 7th, Barrel Stove Combo joined us for a lunchtime show on our press floor to wrap up Season One of Press Play. Rebecca Nelson on flute and tenor saxophone, Eric Gates playing an eight-string guitar, and Vinnie Rannazzisi on the drums brought the jazz to the Daily Inter Lake. It was a free-flowing improvisational dance of original jazz tunes; and the trio's long-standing friendship with each other was palpable.

Big Sky City Lights - Full Concert - Soulful Indie Folk Harmonies & Heartfelt Storytelling
Big Sky City Lights' show feels like gathering around a campfire with old friends. Nick and Susan’s playful banter, like teasing about recording in bathtubs during the pandemic, creates a warmth that invites you in. Their harmonies are comforting and effortless, with lyrics reflecting love, loss, and finding your way through life. There's a rawness to the way they perform—intimate, yet cinematic—pulling from the wide-open Montana landscapes that inspire them. You’ll hear themes of nostalgia, hope, and connection, all wrapped in melodies that linger long after the last note. It’s the kind of show that makes you laugh one moment and reflect the next, all while feeling right at home.
