ST. JOHN'S SUMMER CONCERTS

The headliners for the 2014 St. John's summer concert series have been listed. The music will be good, but maybe a little short on bluegrass. The closest appears to be the Clumsy Lovers who will perform on July 24th. They are based in Vancouver, B.C. and are called a "rock, bluegrass, Celtic" band, certainly an eclectic mix. They have played in Montana venues many times in the past and any bluegrass can be expected to be of the "progressive" variety.  Other groups include Tom Catmull's Radio Static on July 10, John Floridis on July 17 and the popular classic rockers the Midlife Chryslers on the 31st. On August 10th a group from the the Magic City Blues will be there. Does anyone know whether local area bluegrass bands have applied as openers for any of these dates?  In the past both the original Rambling Laurels and a later version played there. At any rate the Thursday evening shows and BBQ on the green  have no cover charge and have proven to be very popular with local fans. The music is always good no matter what genre is being performed.
