(12:30-1:30PM)
Tom Catmull has been writing, recording, performing, eating and breathing music for about 12 years. His performances are split between intimate solo acoustic venues and dancehalls where he plays with his 5-piece Americana-style band The Clerics. All along this merry road he has had the good fortune to share stages with the likes of Greg Brown, Robbie Fulks, Kelly Joe Phelps, Charlie Musselwhite and Asleep at the Wheel. The style of their music usually lands somewhere between the blurred lines of country, country swing, pop and folk. Its predictably tough to pin the music to one neat genre, but it is definitely an American roots driven sound.

Broken Valley Road Show
brokenvalley.com
(12:30-1:30PM)
Since BVR's first packed Missoula gig, they have been winning audiences at clubs, theaters, and festivals around the Rockies, the Pacific Northwest, and South. The energy of their show smacks of Jimmy Martin, their ingenuity recalls Hank Williams. Like contemporary groups Open Road and The Wilders, BVR seeks not nostalgia for days gone by, but a bona fide connection with the relevance of yesterday's music in today's complicated world. Broken Valley Roadshow's sibling harmony, smoking instrumentals, and gospel numbers create an atmosphere that'll inspire you to bring along your Bible, your whiskey, and your Grandma.
