Opener: John Adams

FREE Concert Featuring
Brigid & Johnny Reedy

Featured at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada for the past six years, Brigid Reedy has become a singular young voice representing her beloved home state of Montana. Brigid is credited in recent books by Aaron Parrett and Charlie Seeman as an important singer, songwriter, fiddler and poet carrying forward classic cowboy music and poetry and rich Montana fiddle traditions with her exceptional musicianship, distinctive approach to repertoire, and her strong sense of place. A natural and charismatic performer since the age of two, Brigid has traveled far beyond the hills of Montana to perform and share the stage with many personal heroes (of both music and poetry). Now twenty, Brigid’s writing draws considerably from her experience as a young woman coming of age in the contemporary rural West. This, combined with her timeless, eclectic taste in music and love of words, makes her a force in Western Americana music and poetry.

Enter Johnny “Guitar” Reedy, Brigid’s little brother, whose physical stature and musical skills belie his age. At only fifteen, Johnny has a phenomenal gift for rhythm and possesses extraordinary musical sensibilities. Transcending the role of sideman, he has become a full–fledged collaborator with his sister, assisting in arranging music for their Cowboy, Western Swing, Gypsy Jazz, and Blues repertoire. Johnny’s passion for music from around the world combined with the Montana traditions he was steeped in makes him an intriguing musical partner.

Brigid and Johnny travel widely sharing their unique blend of exceptional musicianship, sublime sibling harmonies, and a voracious appetite for “good” music, with their love of Montana, Western culture and their incredible affection for each other, to bring something unique and special to every performance.
