2017-04-27 Bluegrass at Harper & Madison in Billings, Montana

Last weekend the Two Bit Franks, a bluegrass band from the Paradise Valley area,  played a show at Billing’s own Harper & Madison and I was lucky enough to get to guest bartend via the Edgar Bar so of course, I photographed the event! I’ve always loved live music it's kind of what got me into photography.

 

 

Tyler from the Edgar Bar brought in three different delicious custom cocktails to be enjoyed by guests:
