As of Monday morning, the production team behind the upcoming film version of “Winter in the Blood” has hit its goal of raising $60,000 via the online “crowd-funding” site Kickstarter.com. With 34 hours left to go in the fundraising campaign, “Winter in the Blood” has raised $60,709. That means the project will receive [...]
“The two of us had both been singing backup before,” said Harold, whose past musical projects included roles in local bands Danny’s Dilemma and Travis Sehorn & the Pebble Light. “We started getting together because we were craving an outlet that was our own.” “It was magical,” added Brown, herself a familiar face as a keyboardist and singer with bands including Wartime Blues and Pillar Saints. “Sparks flew.” [Read More...] Advertisement “Artists in residence” and “Top Hat” are not two phrases one normally expects to hear in the same sentence. Though long a central hub in the Missoula music scene, the Front Street nightclub has typically centered its evening business plan around late-night shows by local rock, blues, and folk acts and a sprinkling of touring bands.
