March Songwriter's Circle


Join Caroline the Character (Irick), Jackson Holte, Anthony Lamarr Brown w/Si Smith, and Meggie McDonald for an intimate night of songs and storytelling at Wave & Circuit, hosted by Anthony Lamarr Brown. The Songwriter’s Circle follows a unique format where each of the artists are asked to play a single song, one after the other. This gives way to an organic show flow and improvisational exchanges between the artists.

CAROLINE THE CHARACTER (IRICK) is a singer songwritier based out of Denver, Colorado. She has had a love for music and creativity since she was a child. Her music comes from a place of confusion and a yearning to understand the world around her.

JACKSON HOLTE is a Missoulian guitar player and songwriter who has played with Newlyweds, Gooseberries, and now fronts his own band, Jackson Holte & the Highway Patrol. His solo set expands on the Americana sound that has made the Highway Patrol a barroom favorite in Western Montana and delves into his roots in folk songwriting and blues guitar playing. Holte’s dexterous picking breathes life into sturdy songs, bounding across genres to complement a mature voice that is alternately insightful or irreverent.

MEGGIE MCDONALD is a singer/songwriter who was born and raised in the mountains of Montana. Growing up in a musical family, music became her life from a very young age. She started performing when she was 6 years old and now splits her time between Montana and Oklahoma collaborating on recording projects and performing at various venues and festivals.

Doors are at 6:30 and there is a $5 suggested donation. Check it out on Facebook!

Wave & Circuit Presents! Basses Covered ...plays rock, folk, wop, country and jazz music!

Marlene Hutchins picked up the guitar at age 10, driven to learn popular folk songs and transistor radio hits. A huge Beatle fan, she’d play and sing harmony with her sister and cousins to every song they could learn, as fast as they could learn them. Auditions for talent shows followed, and soon she convinced the owner of Cafe Galleria, an Italian restaurant below the Joni-Mitchell-made-famous Laurel Canyon Country Store, to hire her to perform a solo series for dinner guests.

In 1989, Marlene moved to Montana and found herself in the circle of huge, warm and welcoming music family, which led her to the musicians (Marlene, Carla Green, and Eric Pfeiffer) that form the band Basses Covered, a trio she embraces.

Basses Covered has been blazing their way through Missoula, from festivals to tap rooms to markets to back yard patios.  We play well-known and little-known songs from our favorite music libraries of artists that include Ray Charles, the original Moody Blues, Everly Brothers, Moonglows and our own tunes.

Veteran musicians Carla (bass, guitar), Eric (rhythm and lead guitar) and Marlene (guitar, bass) form this harmonious trio that makes you wonder where all that percussion is coming from without a drummer. We just might get you tapping your feet or swing-dancing with a partner. It's been known to happen.
