LINEUP
7 P.M FRIDAY NIGHT (23rd) THE MAGIC BEGNIS!!! This year’s line up is taking a turn. We are all about celebrating and supporting the local, up and coming musician! With a concerted consensus on last year’s mid level “Nashville Names”, we realized our local talent is not only who could be counted on, but also provided the best show! So we’ve kept it close this year bringing back the best from last year and roping in a few more. The following lists our headliners but we have some new blood and a few surprises filling out the card. In addition, all are welcomed and encouraged to join in on the side jam sessions and show the plank holders what you got!! The Palooza concept originated with musicians celebrating musicians!! SO COME ONE COME ALL!! We still have some time and a little flexibility in the line up. Show em what you got on a Friday or Saturday night jam session and you might get your act up on the big stage the next day!! And this year, YES, She’s going to be a big stage for the little town of Grant! And quite a step up from last year’s flat bed fill in!!!
LUCK
"A Band Called LUCK" formed by 2 brothers out of Townsend Monatana in 2009 has been tearing up the small town bar stages for over a decade now. With original style, wrecking vocals and spine shivering guitar solos, these guys DELIVER an experience with a genre unique enough to have its own name of Monatneous Rock.
Owning enough original songs to fill 4 albums, but no music to be found online, makes these guys a must see!....And don't forget the chance to play the 3 word game and get an original ad lib song that will never be heard again
If you think these guys are great on stage, just wait until you get to hang with them after!......which at this event is damn near guaranteed.
