Spruce Moose

We shouldn't be the least bit surprised that a guy like Michael Franti would want his fans to not only enjoy his music but get as involved as possible. Whether it's inviting all the kids in the audience up on stage while he's performing or asking fans to film themselves having fun singing one of his latest singles, Michael certainly practices what he preaches.

We are only four weeks out from the best Labor Day weekend celebration in Montana! The 2013 Spruce Moose Festival at Big Sky Resort is again two days this year and it will be a great start to the Labor Day Weekend!

Get your tickets now for the 2013 Spruce Moose Festival! We've got the evenings of Friday, August 30 and Saturday, August 31 mapped out for you in an epic way (Galactic, Chali 2na, Ozomatli and more). Here are some daytime suggestions to really make it a weekend to remember:

Ozomatli is a seven piece band playing primarily Latin, hip hop, and rock music.Here's how they describe themselves. You drive down Sunset Boulevard and turn off your stereo and roll down your windows and all the music that comes out of each and every different car, whether it's salsa, cumbia, merengue, or Hip Hop, funk or whatever, it's that crazy blend that's going on between that cacophony of s

Golden Grenade has been voted Best Band in Bozeman. They've played the opening night of Spruce Moose 2012 (and will be playing at Spruce Moose 2013 too!). They're playing Music on Main this Thursday night. They launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to get their EP recorded. Still don't know 'em? You will now:

We are pleased to announce that founding member of Jurassic 5, entrepreneur, musician, and renaissance man – Chali2na – will be joining the Spruce Moose lineup playing on August 31 at Big Sky Resort!

It was released in 2007, but somehow I was completely unaware of the band Galactic's album "Corner to the Block".  Technically Galactic has a funk band label but, as with all awesome musicians, they don't put labels on their music. For good reason...

The last weekend of August in 2013 is going to show Big Sky Resort the biggest party it's ever had with the Spruce Moose Festival 2013 featuring Ozomatli and Galactic. Here's why:

The funky quintet known as Galactic was formed nearly 20 years ago in New Orleans. They started playing in their city's, and our country's, biggest party: Mardi Gras. They are well accustomed to playing a huge all night celebration, and still bring that same stamina and energy to every stage they take. Are you ready for an authentic Mardi Gras experience in Big Sky Resort when Galactic perform at

Some say Galactic goes beyond your usual concert experience. Reigning from New Orleans, Galactic has been together for over 18 years with no set lead singer and collaborations galore! Using collaborations and revue's (virtual shows featuring different vocalists), the band will create what they call a Galactic Sound Universe up on the 2013 Spruce Moose stage.

Ozomatli was born and bred in Los Angeles and we are excited to welcome them to the 2013 Spruce Moose. They began as a musical protest group performing at labor protests, inner-city elementary schools, community events and city fundraisers. The city of Los Angeles officially declared April 23rd "Ozomatli Day" in recognition of the band's efforts.
