Please join the Arts Council for another incredible show in the 2024 Music in the Mountains free summer concert season! This week we are excited to welcome The Wood Brothers! The concert takes place in Len Hill Park in the Big Sky Town Center and is family-friendly and free! Food and beverage vendors will be available. Please remember that NO DOGS, NO GLASS CONTAINERS, and most importantly, NO PERSONAL FIREWORKS are allowed in the park. The Park opens at 6 p.m., with music starting with Big Sky’s own Buffalo Burrows at 6:15 p.m. The Wood Brothers take the stage at 8 p.m.
The Wood Brothers have learned to trust their hearts. For the better part of two decades, they've cemented their reputation as freethinking songwriters, road warriors, and community builders, creating a catalog of diverse music and a loyal audience who’ve grown alongside them through the years.
That evolution continues with Heart is the Hero, the band's eighth studio album. Recorded analog to 16-track tape, this latest effort finds its three creators embracing the chemistry of their acclaimed live shows by capturing their performances in real-time direct from the studio floor with nary a computer in sight. An acoustic-driven album that electrifies, Heart is the Hero is stocked with songs that target not only the heart, but the head and hips, too.
"We love records that come from the era of less tracks and more care," explains co-founder Oliver Wood. "When you use a computer during the tracking process, you have an infinite number of tracks at your disposal, which implies that nothing is permanent, and everything can be fixed. Tape gives you limitations that force you to be creative and intentional. You don't look at the music on a screen; you listen to it, and you learn to focus on the feeling of the performance."
In the high reaches of southern Montana is where Buffalo Burrows makes his claim, with a beat up old guitar and a suitcase for a drum.
Many times bitten, and many times mad, Buffalo Burrows’ truth in storytelling and post-western music styling will ride with you wherever the trail may turn.
