Eggy

Woodbridge, Connecticut

Returning for their second year in a row, Eggy is…the comfort felt consuming a favorite dish that stirs memories past. The familiar tastes that envelop you & bold flavors that inspire. The deep textures of your life’s landscapes in musical form. Eggy’s rich harmonies carry introspective lyrics across winding instrumentation, taking the listener on a deep sonic journey. Like a good dish, Eggy is more than the sum of its parts- Jake Brownstein (guitar/vocals), Dani Battat (keys/vocals), Mike Goodman (bass/vocals), & Alex Bailey (drum/vocals).

From Connecticut, Eggy has been blasting onto the scene opening for bands across the east this past year such as Twiddle, Spafford, and Dopapod in addition to their own touring. Eggy produced an epic performance at The Peach Festival last year that many of our crew have watched a number of times. We are fortunate to have them play their Montana debut at The Homestead.

Hardwood Heart

Missoula, Montana

Hardwood Heart was born out of compulsion - a desire for guitarist Josh Clinger and mandolin player Jed Nussbaum to keep as musically active and exploratory as possible. What started as two songwriters swapping tunes in backyards and living rooms turned into an impressive catalog of original material and covers, woven together with creative improvisation and vocal harmonies. With the addition of bassist Caleb Mattis, Hardwood Heart forged a sound rooted in bluegrass but stretching into jazz, folk, blues and rock and roll, touching down on heartfelt balladry but extending into high energy jams that have kept the audience moving at late night festival slots and busy clubs.

The trio maintained a steady work ethic throughout the slowdown in 2020, releasing a steady stream of recordings showcasing the band’s pension for interweaving heartfelt lyricism with deft instrumentalism. Somewhere amongst a busy 2022 that found the band playing over 130 shows in seven states throughout the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Northwest, Hardwood also found time to record their first full length album. Entitled Growth Rings, the ten songs encapsulate the evolution of a band that has honed their craft in living rooms, on stages and along the open road.
