Home Ranch Bottoms announces June music schedule

Home Ranch Bottoms, located at 8950 North Fork Road in Polebridge, announces its June music schedule at the beer garden stage surrounded by the beauty of the North Fork Valley. The public is invited, and no vehicle reservations are required. 

Paul Lee Kupfer will take the stage, Friday and Saturday, June 6 and 7 at 6 p.m. Kupfer has shared the stage with Watchhouse (Mandolin Orange), The Carolina Chocolate Drops, Taj Mahal, Shovels & Rope, Truth & Salvage Co., Sarah Jarosz, Pokey Lafarge, The Emmitt Nershi Band, Los Lonely Boys and many other talented performers. He has played at The Kauai Folk Festival, Red Ants Pants Festival, and the Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion.  

Jeffrey Foucault will perform Wednesday and Thursday, June 11 and 12 at 6 p.m. In two decades on the road, Foucault has become one of the most distinctive voices in American music, refining a sound instantly recognizable for its simplicity and emotional power. He has built an international touring career and has attracted critical acclaim, lauded for “stark, literate songs that are as wide open as the landscape of his native Midwest” by The New Yorker and described as “quietly brilliant” by The Irish Times.  

Shaun and Jamie make up The Lucky Valentines, who will play Friday and Saturday, June 13 and 14 at 6 p.m. They have written more than 80 songs, and use a mix of folk melodic sensibilities, tight harmonies and a lot of love to make sad things beautiful. They have played hundreds of live shows together and have been featured on MTPR’s Musician Spotlight, at Austin’s Iconic Hole in the Wall Cafe, the street dance and side stage of Red Ants Pants Music Festival.  

Margo Cilker performs on Wednesday and Thursday, June 18 and 19 at 6 p.m. Cilker's debut 2021 record, “Pohorylle,” was nominated for UK Americana Album of The Year alongside Brandi Carlile and Robert Plant and earned Cilker a slew of festival performances and tours supporting American Aquarium, Hayes Carll, and Drive-By Truckers. Between tours, Cilker made time to record “Valley Of Heart’s Delight” on Fluff & Gravy Records and will tour the U.S. with her longtime road band.  

Brennen Leigh plays for one night, Friday, June 20 at 6:00 p.m. She is an American songwriter, guitar player, mandolin player and singer. Her songs have been recorded by Lee Ann Womack, Rodney Crowell, Sunny Sweeney, Charley Crockett, and many others. As renowned for her musicianship as for her writing, it’s easy to see how Leigh caught the ear of David Olney, who described her writing as “tender, violent, sentimental, foolish and wise. She is confident and at ease with herself, without being a jerk about it.”  

Tin Finley is an indie-pop-folk trio who will perform Saturday, June 21 at 6 p.m. Originally from the Flathead Valley, they spent years in Nashville honing their craft. Tin Finley is a collaboration of Annette Strean, Kati O’Toole and Kirk Cornelius. Today, their audience is growing rapidly due to their fully captivating live performances. They recently opened for Lord Huron at the Kettlehouse Ampitheater.  

Andrew Brozek takes the stage on Thursday, June 26 at 6 p.m. Hailing from the Flathead Valley, Brozek has been playing guitar for over half of his life and he's been singing for even longer. He is currently studying music at Dartmouth College, with a focus on songwriting and performance. He loves the elegance and simplicity of acoustic music and is dedicated to making his instruments an extension of himself.  While he is only beginning to establish himself as a songwriter, the fingerprints of songwriters who came before him can be found all throughout his music.  

Martha Scanlan and Jon Neufeld will play Friday and Saturday, June 27 and 28 at 6 p.m. Their shows are a journey of improvisation. The way Jon Neufeld’s brilliant innovative guitar playing weaves effortlessly around Martha’s timeless songwriting is simply magical. They met playing together at Portland’s Indie-Roots festival Pickathon in 2010, shortly before recording Tongue River Stories, a beautifully stark album of field recordings captured on film at the 120-year-old family ranch where Martha was living and working in a remote corner of southeast Montana.
