Live From The Divide
“A Celebration of The American Songwriter”
Tuesday Jun. 30th, 2015
You may have heard of Live From The Divide “A Celebration of The American Songwriter” or even heard it broadcasted every Monday 6-PM on public radio station KGLT 91.9 & 97.1. But if you haven’t had the opportunity to attend a live taping of Live From The Divide then you are surely missing out. The intimate 50 seat venue is located inside of a commercial recording studio where the audience has the unique opportunity to be a part of a live recording and sit just feet away from singer/songwriters as they perform and share stories. Live From The Divide has been hailed as a locals only secret, “A shinning star above the Bozeman landscape” -Yelp Review
In three years the small venue has hosted over 200 bands and produced over 120 hours of programming for public radio. The style of music you can expect to experience is conveniently lumped into the Americana genre. Which is simply an amalgam of American roots music formed by the confluence of shared and varied sounds merged from folk, country, blues, rhythm and blues and rock n’roll. Live From The Divide past alumni include an impressive list of songwriting troubadours such as Steve Earle, Guy Davis, Sturgill Simpson, J.D. Souther, Chris Knight, Radney Foster, Hayes Carll, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Paul Thorn and Dale Watson, just to name a few. This years Summer Concert series line-up will not disappoint, with artist like alternative country darlings Sons Of Bill, granddaughter of Hank Williams Sr., Holly Williams and rising honky tonk star Whitey Morgan and the 78’s.
The room itself is acoustically treated for sound and is equipped with Bose Pro Audio sound, who last year joined the ranks of national sponsors for the program. “This isn’t your typical live music experience” says visiting tourist Jessica Swatz.
“We were looking for something truly unique to do while visiting Bozeman and we found it!”
It’s not just music lovers that are excited about the venue, the artist themselves thoroughly enjoy their night with a listening audience. The venue provides a much needed and deserved break from the usual assault of loud conversations, TV’s and heavy drinkers they experience on a nightly basis. Songwriter and performer Brennen Leigh who’s songs have been recorded by the likes of Sunny Sweeney and Lee Ann Womack, stated that she felt as if she was playing at the museum of people who will sit down and listen to music.
Another unique aspect of the venue is the meet and great that happens after each show in the lobby. Giving fans the opportunity to snap a picture and have quick conversation with their favorite artist.
