Folk Concert at The Loft at Studio J

Show up for excellent music, atmosphere, and company!
Chris Cunningham of the popular folk-pop duo Storyhill and Tom Catmull of Tom Catmull and the Clerics are performing at The Loft on March 9th. Their combined experience in the music industry, ranging from Chris’ numerous appearances on Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion” to Tom’s 7th consecutive Missoula Independents’ Readers Choice “Best Musician” Award, makes them a dynamic pair on stage.
Doors open at 7:00pm and music will start at 7:30pm. A cash bar will be provided for the concert. Tickets can be preordered for $15/person. Cash or checks will be gratefully accepted. We hope to see you there!

Chris Cunningham and Tom Catmull

Artist Bios:

Chris Cunningham

“Chris Cunningham has been writing songs since he was a teenager growing up in Montana. He is one half of the popular folk-pop duo Storyhill which is signed on Red House Records and has toured the US for two decades, releasing over a dozen albums, with numerous appearances on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion – including the 2011 APHC Cruise. Chris writes songs that explore, among other things, love, heartache, family and personal transformation. He often sings in character taking listeners on a journey through the eyes of another person. Chris lives in Bozeman, Montana with his family where he produces recordings for songwriters and bands in his studio, Basecamp Recording.”

Tom Catmull

“Predictably tough to pin the music into one neat and tidy genre, Tom Catmull presents a roots-driven sound flavored by some early impressions stamped on him as a skinny kid in Gulf Coast Texas. He spent his late teens and early twenties listening to as many Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt records as he could find, while simultaneously frothing over live performances by Shake Russell, Dana Cooper and Lyle Lovett. Tom has earned fiercely loyal followings as songwriter and performer from Oregon to Utah to Minnesota, but calls Missoula, MT home. After six records, a hundred songs and thousands of performances, Tom Catmull still hones the presentation of his show with guitar, harmonica and most recently the banjo. He’s been voted “Best Musician” by the Missoula Independents’ Readers Choice Awards for the last seven years in a row.

Frederick Earl Sather (Grandpa)

Grandpa Fred was quite a character that left a lasting impression on many.  My favorite memory of him was “fooling” me as a kid by blowing on his thumb to flex his tremendous biceps – it worked on me for like 10 years easy and he always threw his head back with a huge laugh afterward.  After surviving successive heart attacks, he was still up and around “trying to get his legs back” and finally his strong farmer’s heart gave way to peaceful night’s sleep at the age of 96.  Thanks for the memories, Grandpa! -Judd

Below is a slideshow of some favorite images of Grandpa – there are some repeats it was a late night project!  Thanks to all family for getting the images and Lee for scanning!

Here is my favorite image of my Grandpa and my dad.

Matt + Valerie: 12.01.2012 (Forepaughs Restaurant)

Well what can I say about Matt and Valerie / Zoe… it was a beautiful December day and a simplistic, classy wedding full of love in the quaint and historic Forepaughs Restaurant. It is so easy to photograph people who are so into each other – there were so many times when I just told you guys to go stand someplace and hang out and the images we captured were simply magical because of the connection you enjoy! Forepaughs was extremely challenging with tight, dark spaces and we got some cool images with video lights and Matt’s Fedora (the 2-liter of Mt. Dew even made it in there!). We hope you guys have a fabulous time up north and can’t wait to show you the rest of the images when you get back! -Judd, Josh, and Sarah
