Bozeman Magazine

Keith Anderson & Life Heads West take the stage for an evening of original Americana music. Rooted in thoughtful lyrics, complex melodies, and enticing rhythms, this Bozeman-based collaboration brings together a remarkable group of local musicians.

Led by guitarist and songwriter Keith Anderson, the band features Rick Winking (guitar, mandolin; formerly of Montana Rose and The Waiting), Kali Armstrong (vocals; Pinky & The Floyd), Amy Leach (piano, violin, and nationally known author of Salt of the Universe), Chris Cunningham (guitar, vocals; Storyhill), John Sanders (bass guitar), and Michael Gillan (drums and percussion; formerly of Montana Rose and Twang).

Together, these well-known Bozeman artists have collaborated with Anderson to create two albums of original music over the past four years, available on Bandcamp. As the songwriting and arrangements have evolved, the sound has grown richer, settling firmly into an Americana style best experienced live in an intimate theater setting.
