Tonight’s Headlining Band
Jamie McLean Band (Premier Sponsor: Pure West Christie’s)
The Jamie McLean Band stirs together a rich musical gumbo of New Orleans soul, Delta blues, Americana roots, and a dose of New York City swagger. With a magnetic live presence and world-class musicianship, they’ve become a force on stages across the globe. Frontman Jamie McLean’s blazing guitar work has earned him spots alongside icons like Derek Trucks, Gregg Allman, Dr. John, and Aaron Neville, while his smooth, soul-drenched vocals bring emotional depth to every song.

Whether tearing it up at Bonnaroo, Fuji Rock, Mountain Jam, or opening for Tedeschi Trucks Band, Trombone Shorty, or Los Lobos, Jamie McLean and his band have earned their reputation as a must-see live act. Known for catchy, heartfelt songwriting, searing solos, and a connection with the crowd, their performances are part concert, part celebration.

Tonight’s Emerging Artist
Emma and the Ledge (Presenting Sponsors: Spanish Peaks Community Foundation)
With roots deep in Montana’s music scene, Emma and the Ledge blend indie folk, country, and a gritty edge of rock into a powerful sound that's both tender and bold. Known for striking harmonies and deeply personal lyrics, their music hits with emotional punch and back-porch charm. They’re a rising name in the regional circuit and are quickly becoming fan favorites thanks to their authentic energy and genre-bending style.
