Filling Station hosts The Powerhouse Revival

Originally from Bozeman, Dylan-Thomas Vance, who now calls Portland, Ore., home, brings his band, The Powerhouse Revival, to The Filling Station on Thursday, April 14, at 9:30 p.m. Cover is $5.

A classically-trained violinist with a penchant for old-time fiddle, Powerhouse Revival member Griff Bear's impossibly fleet fingered and precision playing
never fails to elicit hoots and hollers from the audience while he and Vance play fast and furious, spinning up the energy of the crowd until someone shouts, "play some Hendrix!" And Vance's slide guitar wails a Voodoo Chile to impress even the staunchest Hendrix fan. When long-time rockabilly bassist, Allen Hunter joins the mix, audience members are guaranteed a raucous whiskey-soaked roadhouse blues good time.

Additionally, Dylan and Griff have just released a new CD, "Live at Biddy McGraw's," which can be heard at Cactus Record's listening station throughout the month of April. Cactus Records is located at 29 West Main in Bozeman.
