Check out that opening sentence: With the breaking news that in the early morning hours, an often married high-profile chef was the first call a drunken ‘starlet” made after smashing into a number of parked cars, “The Tiger [...] The worst-kept secret in the local concert scene recently has been made official, at least according to the Ryan Creek Meadow blog: the Black Crowes will perform a concert at the outdoor venue east of Missoula on Sept. 1. This one’s been swirling around out there ever since Pollstar and the band mentioned it on their Web sites several weeks ago, but until now there wasn’t any detailed info. There’s still not much information available (no actual press release has gone out); but the most important facts — ticket price and onsale date — are there on the blog: [Read More...] |
