The Clark Chateau is excited to announce the New Songs for Butte Mining Camp Project. This initial project will feature four concerts to take place in the Clark Chateau Ballroom, with more concerts to follow! With funding from the Montana Cultural Trust under the Montana Arts Council, four musicians have been commissioned to reinvent historic Butte mining and labor songs in their own unique style. As part of the project, they spend time researching Butte history, with assistance from the Butte-Silver Bow Archives. Each musician will present their work at a mid-day Brown Bag talk scheduled on Fridays at the Archives, followed by a Saturday night performance at the Clark Chateau.
Musician Aaron Parrett will perform on Saturday, December 4th. Jessica Catron and her band Missincinatti will perform Saturday, February 19th. Christy Hays will perform Saturday, March 5th, and the band Cash for Junkers will perform Saturday, April 9th. All concerts begin at 7pm in the Chateau Ballroom, located at 321 W. Broadway in Butte. Tickets are $10/show, or buy a pass to all four shows for $30! The Brown Bag talks at the Butte-Silver Bow Archives are free and open to the public. Check the Clark Chateau website calendar at clarkchateau.org for all event dates and details. You can also Contact the Clark Chateau at: 406-565-5600.
