Casey Neill & The Norway Rats + David Boone & The Controls in Missoula

Casey Neill & the Norway Rats fuse modern rock with punk, Americana, and Celtic styles. The Norway Rats are an assemblage of Portland's finest musos whose shows alternate between desolate ballads and raucous rave-ups (see individual bios below). With a raspy voice, well crafted songs and a crack band, Casey Neill has carved out a widespread fan-base throughout the US, Canada, Japan, and Britain. More info at caseyneill.org.

David Boone, With a solid foot in the tradition of storytelling effortlessly straddles the fence between folk and rock, without ever compromising originality or authenticity. One listen to Boone and you know he's the real deal, his solo material stemming from the lineage of Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen, while his more produced material evokes the forward-looking spirit of folk artists such as David Gray, Coldplay, and Wilco. It's David's honesty, his transparency, that makes his work shine. Seeing Boone live is like stepping right into his personal diary where he openly explores doubts, beliefs, spirituality & romance with the weight that each deserves. Sometimes humorous, sometimes philosophical, but always relevant, Boone is like poetry put to musica true voice for the modern, wandering & wondering soul. More info at www.davidboonemusic.com.
