What to expect:

May’s performance will be a night to remember with local band Beau Akimbo.

Formed in 2020, Beau Akimbo is a Missoula-based Indie Pop band. Their music consists of lush harmonies, ear-worm melodies, and tongue-in-cheek lyrics about their wild 20’s. Their music is influenced by Rilo Kylie, Lake Street Dive, The Avett Brothers, Stevie Wonder, and more.

What to bring:

  • Several tables and chairs, along with floor seating (blankets and bolsters) will be available for use - however, we recommend bringing comfortable seating if you need additional support.
