The Narrows, w/ Rail Line Lupines, and Breezy Love!
Great night of live bluegrass music. $10 at the door.
doors open at 630pm; Breezy Love a 7pm; Rail Line Lupines at 8pm and The Narrows play 9pm to 10pm. All are welcome!
About the Bands:
The Rail Line Lupines came together playing traditional folk and old time but aren't afraid to expand their sound into contemporary bluegrass or even pop. The recently formed band is ready to come out swinging with their goal of bringing the community together for a good time.
The Narrows formed in the fall of 2025 when a few folks started getting together to pick on some bluegrass. While paying homage to greats like Doc Watson and Tony Rice, The Narrows will play on anything that they fancy. They are built on the idea of squeezing by and finding their way through whatever's thrown at them no matter how narrow it gets. Come dance, smile, and laugh with us wherever we can be found.
Breezy Love is a pop-folk singer-songwriter, originally from Chicago. Inspired most by artists like Fiona Apple, Regina Specktor,
and Billy Joel – her music thrives on theatrics and honesty. She has earned accolades from several prestigious songwriting competitions, both nationally and internationally, including from the U.S. National Endowment for the Arts. You can find her music on all platforms.

Arts Missoula Launches New Fall Social to Bring Missoula's Creative Community Together
This first-ever event celebrates connection, membership, and community creativity with a 500-art-kit making party!
MISSOULA, MT — This September, Arts Missoula is launching a new annual tradition designed around something at the heart of its work: bringing people together through the arts.
Arts Missoula's first Fall Social will take place Wednesday, September 9, from 6–8 p.m. at Free Cycles, bringing together artists, arts organizations, creative businesses, arts supporters, and community members for an evening of connection, conversation, food and drinks — and a community-wide art kit making party.
The event marks the culmination of Arts Missoula's first annual Membership Drive, August 31–September 11, and celebrates the growing network of people and organizations that make up Missoula's creative community. The Membership Drive seeks to reach artists and arts educators in our community who are interested in joining an ever-growing community of artists, arts organizations, venues, and businesses across Missoula County and beyond.
More than simply a membership event, the Fall Social is an opportunity for people across disciplines and organizations to meet one another, build relationships, share ideas, and learn more about ways to get involved in Missoula's arts and culture community.
And while they're connecting, attendees will also be creating something for Missoula.
Through a partnership with Thrivent and additional support from Giving Art to Missoula, Fall Social attendees can choose to work together to assemble 500 free art kits. Participants may also choose just to connect and enjoy the creative vibe. The kits that are created will be distributed throughout the year at First Fridays and Arts Missoula community events, including Germanfest and Missoula on Main.
The project reflects a simple idea: creativity should be accessible to everyone. Art supplies can be a barrier to participation, and putting materials directly into people's hands creates an invitation to make, experiment, play, and participate in Missoula's creative community.
The Fall Social also reflects the larger purpose behind Arts Missoula's growing membership program. Designed for artists, arts organizations, venues, businesses, and arts supporters, membership provides practical benefits such as promotion through Arts Missoula's newsletters, event calendar, directories, and community networks. Just as importantly, it creates opportunities for members to find one another.
Arts Missoula serves as Missoula's local arts agency, supporting and connecting the community through advocacy, education, cultural events, artist support, community engagement, and opportunities that strengthen Missoula's arts and culture ecosystem.
The Fall Social brings all of those pieces together in one room: connection, creativity, service, and celebration.
Artists, arts organizations, arts supporters, and anyone interested in becoming more connected to Missoula's creative community are invited to attend.

End-Of-Life Documents Workshop: Your Wishes Your Voice
Your Wishes, Your Voice: END-OF-LIFE DOCUMENTS WORKSHOP.
If something unexpected happened tomorrow, would your loved ones know what you want?
Most of us mean to complete our end-of-life paperwork, but we just don’t get around to it. Not because it isn’t important — but because it feels overwhelming, confusing, or easy to postpone.
This workshop helps you move it from “someday” to done.
Join three local death midwives for a small, guided working session where you will:
Learn what end-of-life documents are actually needed in Montana
Reflect on your personal values and wishes
Begin your advance directive
Designate a healthcare representative and a financial power of attorney
Understand the basics of estate planning and related documents
Ask tough questions in a supportive, grounded space
Access a notary to finalize documents before you leave
We will present key information, but this is not a lecture. This is dedicated time to sit down and take care of something that matters.
This workshop is for:
Adults of any age without an advance directive
Caregivers
Those supporting aging parents
Anyone who wants to reduce stress for their loved ones
People who value preparedness and clarity
You do not need to be ill. You do not need to be elderly. You simply need to care about the people who would be left making decisions.
We often hear families say, “We didn’t know what they wanted.” Planning ahead is one of the most practical and loving things you can do.
Walk away with meaningful progress, greater clarity, and peace of mind.
Register in advance: We intentionally keep this workshop small so everyone can receive individual support.
Early bird and buddy deals
Register early (before September 15th) and save $5 on your ticket with the code EARLY5. Early registrants will also receive copies of the main forms in advance, for review.
Because these topics can feel easier with support, we offer a Buddy Discount. Register with a partner, friend, or parent and receive $5 off each ticket using the code BUDDY10.
Plan ahead. Ease the burden. Leave clarity behind.

Thunder Garden: Puppet Slam!
Thunder Garden is a performance event for puppeteers and other performing artists to showcase and develop new work.
Performers will have 3 - 5 minute to perform new work for a live audience of supportive enthusiasts. All styles and skill levels are warmly embraced.
To sign up, please email: thundergardenpuppets@gmail.com
*expect adult humor*
What if you’re interested in participating, but are new to puppetry? If you need help designing or building puppets, developing ideas, or writing for puppets, Thunder Garden offers collaborative guidance. Maybe you enjoy performing, but your puppet building skills are less developed. Or maybe you’re really good at building and construction, but performance isn’t your thing. We can connect you with creators that have complimentary skills, so that together, you can bring a puppet piece to life.
If you want to perform, please pre-register. This will help us plan the show, and to provide any pertinent equipment, sound support, staging and lighting.
You don’t have to participate to attend, but if you happen to get inspired during the show, there will be a number of “loaner puppets” at the venue. Last minute participation is encouraged!
REVEL Song & Dance
A Sunday song and dance gathering that blends live singing and free dance into a playful, all-ages space to get into your body and come alive together. $10-25 suggested donation. Kids are free.
We begin with a song circle - sharing songs that are easy to learn on the spot. No singing experience necessary. After an hour of singing together (led by Missoula Sings leadership team), we will segue into free dance DJ'd by Katie T or Kristina D. We are here to connect to our authentic selves and to each other, not to sound good or look good dancing. Come be yourself, with others.
American Buffalo, A Play by David Mamet
American Buffalo by David Mamet opens in Missoula on August 5th. This landmark play explores greed, capitalism and the corrupted American Dream, themes that are unfortunately as relevant today as they were when it was first produced in 1975. Widely considered one of the most influential plays of the late 20th century, American Buffalo is a perfect blend of comedy and drama written in the signature style of one of the great icons of modern American Theatre. The play is widely produced to this day, and past productions have featured acting legends like Robert Duvall, Al Pacino, Laurence Fishburne, and John Leguizamo.
American Buffalo is being co-produced by Room 131 Productions and Inflatable Moose (which is TV writer/producer Ron Fitzgerald’s company). The three-person cast features longtime collaborators and UM Theatre graduates Salina Chatlain, Andy Greenfield, and Bobby Gutierrez, with Gutierrez doubling as Director. This trio was first onstage and on the road together in Montana Repertory Theatre’s 2003 Educational Outreach Tour of The Diaries of Adam and Eve (written by Ron Fitzgerald), and are reuniting for a decidedly less G-rated event!
Performaces take place in the Streetside Center at Free Cycles, and are limited to 30 attendees per show. Shows take place on: August 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21, 22. To reserve a seat (with payment of $10 at the door on the evening of the performance), and to learn more about the play and the people behind the play, please visit:

Singing Resistance
RESISTANCE SONG CIRCLE hosted by Singing Resistance Missoula, A.K.A. Missoula Resists SALT (Sing-Along Together)!
ALL ARE WELCOME to join the mass movement of singers protecting & caring for our communities in the face of rising authoritarianism. We are taking regular action grounded in love, solidarity, defiant joy, and noncooperation.
We sing songs that are simple, taught-by-ear, and are relevant to these times. While short, simple, and repetitive by design, the songs hold deep themes around the human experiences of grief, righteous rage, courage, and love.
All voices welcome! You do NOT need to be a "good" singer to come make good trouble.
No musical experience necessary, just bring yourself exactly as you are.
Our goals:
♡ ...to become more prepared for ongoing & escalating authoritarian threats by building community infrastructure that keeps us more secure.
♡ ...to heal from the impacts of living in an oppressive society by reclaiming our capacity to feel and express emotion, to connect deeply with each other, and to act in solidarity across differences.
♡ ...to end all oppressive systems. We sing not only for the world that we want to create, but to create that world right here and now.
Singing has historically been a critical part of social movements globally as well as here in the U.S., with songs rooted in spirituals, folk, and gospel music. While our project is secular, it is heavily inspired by these movements, including: South Africa's Anti-Apartheid Movement, Estonia's Singing Revolution, the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, and U.S. labor movements. We believe in the POWER OF THE PEOPLE to shape our future!
Always free. Please consider donating to Free Cycles as a THANK YOU for welcoming us to their wonderful space."

A Sunday song and dance gathering that blends live singing and free dance into a playful, all-ages space to get into your body and come alive together. $10-25 suggested donation. Kids are free.
We begin with a song circle - sharing songs that are easy to learn on the spot. No singing experience necessary. After an hour of singing together (led by Missoula Sings leadership team), we will segue into free dance DJ'd by Katie T or Kristina D. We are here to connect to our authentic selves and to each other, not to sound good or look good dancing. Come be yourself, with others.

American Buffalo, A Play by David Mamet
American Buffalo by David Mamet opens in Missoula on August 5th. This landmark play explores greed, capitalism and the corrupted American Dream, themes that are unfortunately as relevant today as they were when it was first produced in 1975. Widely considered one of the most influential plays of the late 20th century, American Buffalo is a perfect blend of comedy and drama written in the signature style of one of the great icons of modern American Theatre. The play is widely produced to this day, and past productions have featured acting legends like Robert Duvall, Al Pacino, Laurence Fishburne, and John Leguizamo.
American Buffalo is being co-produced by Room 131 Productions and Inflatable Moose (which is TV writer/producer Ron Fitzgerald’s company). The three-person cast features longtime collaborators and UM Theatre graduates Salina Chatlain, Andy Greenfield, and Bobby Gutierrez, with Gutierrez doubling as Director. This trio was first onstage and on the road together in Montana Repertory Theatre’s 2003 Educational Outreach Tour of The Diaries of Adam and Eve (written by Ron Fitzgerald), and are reuniting for a decidedly less G-rated event!
Performaces take place in the Streetside Center at Free Cycles, and are limited to 30 attendees per show. Shows take place on: August 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21, 22. To reserve a seat (with payment of $10 at the door on the evening of the performance), and to learn more about the play and the people behind the play, please visit:
