Summer sure flew by, and now some of us find ourselves with much quieter houses—vacations are over, schools are in session and the hustle and bustle of tourist visitors starts to slow down. September is the month where Livingston starts to get back to normal after a busy season. Uncorked is Livingston’s only wine bar—the perfect place to gather with friends to toast a sunset and catch up.
In addition to the largest selection of wines in the area, we also have craft beer selections and delicious food from the freshest ingredients around. Lately, the kitchen has been turning out delightful cold soups, grilled sandwiches and the ever-popular make-your-own cheese and charcuterie plates. All these are terrific accompaniments to your evening with friends or family.
Live music is featured each Friday starting at 6 pm, and if the weather is fine, the music will be outside under the historic Depot portico.

Montana Manouche – Gypsy Jazz
Montana Manouche plays swinging instrumental Gypsy Jazz music in the style of Django Reinhardt. The tunes are joyful and elegant, reminiscent of music played in Paris nightclubs in the 1940s. Video and audio clips on montanamanouche.com and on their Facebook page.

The Lucky Valentines – New and Used Americana
The Lucky Valentines are Montana native songwriters Shaun and Jamie Carrier. Their music has been described by fans as “Fleetwood Mac meets Mandolin Orange in a Gypsy Junk Shop.” Married on February 14, 2010, they have been playing music for the whole of their life together. Crafting songs rooted in honest, raw emotion and blending sounds from alt-country, rock-n-roll, indie and folk, they span themes of joy and pain in the face of life’s trials. They borrow inspiration from their own experience, observation and the beautiful, lonesome landscape and history of north-central Montana. Their 2016 independent release Lion in the Garden is a collection of songs that explore betrayal, loss and joy.

Christy Hays – Desert Country
“Like Lucinda Williams in a Carhartt jacket, Christy Hays works rugged metaphors into emotionally charged country folk.”
~ Austin Chronicle
Christy Hays’ music has folk and country tinges, thoughtfully penned stories and a full band sound that is both driving alt country and moody folk rock. Her new album River Swimmer was released in April of 2018 on Nine Mile Records. It brings the culmination of Christy’s influences and her experiences traveling the world. Hays has shared the stage with Hayes Carll, Sturgil Simpson, Bruce Robison, Kelly Willis and Jeffery Foucault to name a few. Bruce Robison cut her song “Lake of Fire” and released it on his newest album Bruce Robison and the Back Porch Band. She now spends portions of the summer in Montana, gigging in the Northwest, writing and returning to her beloved wilderness. Hays dreams of creating an artist retreat out of that house for people just like her who need to escape the city, disappear and create. Compared to Brandi Carlile, Lucinda Williams, Rhett Miller, Kathleen Edwards and Patty Griffin, Hays has a sound uniquely her own. christyhays.com
