The July 17th Band
Paige & the People’s Band
Paige & The Peoples Band has charmed Montana crowds for years. The band is no stranger to Bozeman’s Music on Main summer concert stage. The July 17th concert at Last Chance will be their second time on the Alive After 5 stage. A long anticipated return as they made their Billings Alive After 5 debut in 2021. They bring a mix of Rock, Soul, Funk and Fusion that keeps the crowd bumping and the energy climbing. This horn powered, fully charged Band was voted Bozeman’s Best Rock Band of 2019, 2020, best blues band of 2021 and premiered the 2019 season of 11th and Grant with Eric Funk on PBS. The Episode later went on to win an Emmy Award for best Audio.
