Upcoming Shows

Hot, local, bluegrass band, Bluepoint returns for a visit to Longstaff House.

We’re a five piece Bluegrass Band from beautiful Missoula, MT. We specialize in traditional Bluegrass and Old TIme music, as well as Folk and Americana with a modern twist. Our performances are wildly energetic and heartfelt and just might make you leave your seat to dance, or hold the ones you care about a little tighter. Our repertoire includes everything from classic songs, that everyone can sing to, and originals that stem from those deep places within the human condition that we all know and feel. Give us a listen and catch a live show if you can! We appreciate you!

 Sounds to me like another good show.

A year ago, driving late one night, singer/songwriter Lena Rich watched an emerald city materialize from the delirious haze of long miles on the road. As she sped nearer, the mirage faded into an oil refinery glowing sickly green in the darkness. Yet that liminal moment between imagination and reality lingered in Rich’s mind, and eventually became the guiding concept and title track for her latest album, Emerald City. Written mostly while on a tour that began the day after Rich’s partner and collaborator at the time broke things off, Emerald City (September 4) is a series of stories about finding your footing, composed as Rich was finding hers. Quickly discovering the collaboration had only been holding her back, Rich steeled herself and set out on the road alone, instead of folding. And as she gained solid ground day by day, she surprised herself with a new vulnerability, deeper connection to audiences, and a newfound creativity that flourished.

Nowhere, Nebraska, Myra’s extraordinary debut, is more than just a musical homecoming, though. Recorded over the last few years in Denver, Nashville, and Austin, the album is a complex reckoning with the past, a nuanced, literate reexamination of small-town life in the shadow of heartbreak, self-destruction, and second chances. While the arrangements here are broad and sweeping, Myra’s storytelling is sharply focused and firmly rooted, offering up rich, detailed character studies with keen insight and deep empathy. She writes with a novelist’s eye, isolating moments and emotions with surgical precision, and she sings with a weathered grace that makes the hard truths go down easy. The result is a warm embrace of an album all about memory and forgiveness, growth and pain, freedom and fate, a collection that calls to mind everything from Lucinda Williams to Bruce Springsteen to Lori McKenna to Brandi Carlile to Sheryl Crow as it makes peace with the past in order to more fully inhabit the present
