Arts-Entertainment
The Shane Center for the Arts is wrapping up their fourth season of producing the SOCS (Summer Outdoor Concert Series) with a stellar line up. Nearly 3500 people attended the events, filling every Thursday evening in June and July with the best in regional music.
The final performer of the year on Thursday, July 31st is the Tom Catmull Trio. Tom is a word enthusiast. They are the larger part of what makes his world go round. He’s spent the last twenty-five years in his adopted hometown of Missoula, Montana, presenting words in ways to make them as alluring as possible to people who crave such things. The last couple of decades have included seven full length albums, a few television appearances including PBS 11th and Grant, a hundred theater performances, dozens of festivals and countless honkytonks. Tom and his terrific trio blew our minds in 2024 and we invited him back before he started his second set. Tom’s clever and catchy tunes will delight you—great melodies and stories—the perfect summer night music.
SOCS concerts take place, free of charge, from 5 to 8 pm. There are food trucks and libations for all ages. Concert attendees are encouraged to bring chairs. There are a few shared tables reserved for patrons of the food trucks while enjoying their dinner. Sponsors include: Livingston HealthCare, Marcia McCrum in Memory of Bliss McCrum, Erin Denton O’Brien and the Yellowstone Valley Lodge & Grill, and booking partners at Mighty Fine Time Live Events - John and Joanne Lowell.
Bike parking is available onsite and additional car parking is available at the Lincoln School at 215 E. Lewis. The Shane Center is located at 415 E. Lewis. For more information on The Shane Lalani Center for the Arts, please visit www.theshanecenter.org.
