| The
Paradise Valley Band |
Saturday,
5pm |

The
band that started it all…they headlined the first two Sweet
Pea Festivals! Local favorites who garnered a name for themselves
as “a Grateful Dead clone band with the voice of Bonnie Raitt”.The
PVB developed a following of fans who loved their Aloha shirts,
hat collections and “hair supply”! Sure to please, these
veterans of rock n’ roll, reggae, blues, soul and improvisational
60s jams are BACK for a special show celebrating 25 years of Sweet
Pea! |
| Kevin
Bowe & The Okemah Prophets |
Saturday,
7pm |
 |
This 5-piece band combines rootsrock, folk and blues
with a song-writing quality that has won the praise of Johnny Lang
& Etta James. Having honeymooned in Bozeman and attended a few
Sweet Pea’s over the years, Kevin is excited to be a part of
the 25th Celebration.
"From his
guitar and banjo work to his endearingly raspy vocals, Bowe conveys
every sentiment with believable sincerity: He doesn’t beg for
an emotional response, but the honest quality of his music makes
you empathize anyway." ~Pulse of the Twin Cities |
| Mighty
Sam McClain |
Sunday,
8pm |
 |
“Welcome brothers and sisters to the holy church
of sanctified, soul blues. With his roots in the southern gospel
traditions of testifyin’ from the heart and surrenderin’
to the moment, Mighty Sam McClain, a legitimate soul survivor and
one of today’s best soul singers, will deliver today’s
sermon.” ~ Art Tipaldi, Blues Review
Whether you want to shake your bootie or sit and
soak up the soul you need to be in The Bowl for Mighty Sam, his
band & his Mighty Horns. He first broke the charts in ‘66,
and he still sings from the heart with all the more power because
of a life of ups and downs.
"Possibly the only singer currently capable
of assuming Otis Redding's throne." ~Wes Phillips-Sterophile |
| Pan
Jumbies |
Sunday,
3pm |
 |
Closing the musical acts for Sweet Pea this year
is this six-piece band from Denver that combines the music of Trinidad
& Tobago. Pan Jumbies will transport Sweet Pea to a Caribbean
carnival. Get ready for some hot sun dancing with calypso and steel
drum music.
“Pan Jumbies fusion of Caribbean & world
beat music combines the art of Steel Pan & Calypso with the
soca funk of bass & percussion, to create something new, yet
acutely Caribbean.” |
