Cash For Junkers

admin — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 05:34:08 +0000

Cash For Junkers has been playing western swing, vintage jazz, bluegrass, and honky-tonk country music for dances, parties, weddings and festivals around Western Montana since 1998. A long time favorite of the swing dancing crowd, C4J plays original tunes and their own reworking of classic and obscure tunes from the 1920 on through today.

C4J has opened for groups such as the Gourds, Kim Lenz, and Deke Dickerson, and has traveled to Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Seattle, Portland, and Weiser, Idaho, as well as most of Montana.

Currently, the band features Tyler Roady on vocals and rhythm guitar, Grace Decker on vocals, fiddle, and mandolin, Nate Biehl on vocals, mandolin, fiddle, tenor banjo, and electric guitar, John Rosett on electric guitar, steel guitar, and mandolin, Jeff Turman on upright bass, and Angie Biehl on drums. These musicians bring years of experience to the band, and they know how to swing it hard and pick it purty!

Blue Argon

“Blue Argon glows into the night with a bluer blend of soft blues with tints of smoky jazz.” Blue Argon is a trio from Kalispell, Montana consisting of Colleen Cunningham, vocals and guitar; Steve Sellars, lead guitar and harmonica; Jim Clayborn, guitar. Blue Argon has created a very unique style offering a blend of soft blues with tints of smoky jazz. Our song list consists of some obscure, but wonderful songs such as “Cry Me River” by Julie London, “Sugar In My Bowl” by Nina Simone, “Misty Blue” by Dorothy Moore, and “Tough On Me, Tough On You” by Lonnie Mack, to name a few. Blue Argon also performs songs by Etta James, Bonnie Raitt, Gladys Knight, Reverend Al Green, Leon Russell, Freddie King, Bill Withers, Delbert McClinton, Keb Mo’, and even blues legend Robert Johnson. A little retro-surf guitar is occasionally thrown in… all delivered with a Blue Argon twist.
