Mudslide Charley

Mudslide Charley is a Missoula, Montana-born band that delivers house-rockin’ roots music with grit and soul. Since sparking to life in 2004, and guided by Marco Littig, the group has grown into a six-piece powerhouse of diverse musicians and songwriters. Their sound is steeped in the spirit of a bygone era, inspired by blues pioneers like Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker, who blended raw southern acoustics with the power of electric instruments

Bluegrass, rock n’ roll, country, folk and pop all tangled up in a mixture of musical madness. We’re ready to play.

May 22nd- 7PM-9PM
Britt Arnesen is a captivating Montana folksinger, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer with deep musical roots and a soulful presence. A key member of Missoula’s longtime favorite Pinegrass, Britt brings a rich blend of northern spirit and western tradition—shaped by her beginnings in Juneau, Alaska.
Charla Bauman
May 29th- 7PM-9PM
Charla has performed popular hits and poignant originals in the Northwest and Canada since an early age. Her love of vintage pop and country always finds a warm reception and is routinely spiced with a little rocky blues and folk. And she yodels, too!

Love is a Dog
May 3rd- 7PM-9PM
Dreamy Pop-Americana from Missoula, Montana. Travis Yost shares his songs and stories with anyone willing to listen—a self-proclaimed entertainer through and through.
David Rogers
May 10th- 7PM-9PM
Described by The New York Times as “a prominent guitarist” and lauded by The Washington Post for his “astonishingly florid” improvisations, David Rogers blends classical, jazz, and world music into performances that are both expressive and virtuosic
Pesky Varmints
May 17th- 7PM-9PM
The Pesky Varmints are Richie Reinholdt on acoustic guitar and vocals, and Aaron Jennings on pedal steel. Their sound leans heavily on original songs rooted in the Americana tradition—what some might’ve once called folk rock. Think Neil Young, The Byrds, or Tom Petty.
Shark Buffalo

Shark Buffalo is a genre-bending fusion of synth and acoustic elements, forging a futuristic funk sound that bridges the raw and the refined. A bold blend from opposite ends of the musical spectrum.

Jordan Smith has been performing in the Montana music scene since 2011. His most notable projects include Missoula-based bands Shakewell and Three Eared Dog, though he also performs solo acts regularly.

Please reach out to Torrence, our Music Coordinator, with more information about yourself and your music, photo(s), and any relevant social media links to music@draughtworksbrewery.com. Our folding murphy stage is small yet mighty, but because of its size and the size of our taproom, Draught Works may not be the best fit for certain bands/groups. Torrence will be able to discuss dates, rates and details with you to find out if playing at Draught Works is a good fit for everyone!
