🍻 Breweries with Live Music This Weekend
Beers. Beats. Bops.
Longmont’s brewery scene is doing the most this weekend—with live music, themed nights, and all the hops your summer soul can handle. Whether you’re craving country, jazz, or something with a little ska, these local spots have your Friday night poured and ready:
SJ McDonald (Country) | Friday, June 27 | 6–9 PM | FREE
Award-winning lagers, a sunny patio, and a rising country star? Yes please. SJ McDonald brings her Nashville vibes to Wibby for a night of twangy tunes and crisp pours. Come thirsty, leave singing.
The Atom Collective (Funk/Jazz) | Friday, June 27 | 6–9 PM | FREE Smooth jazz meets groovy funk in Left Hand’s lush beer garden. The Atom Collective always brings the vibes—whether you’re vibing to the bassline or just vibing with your beer. Lauren Michaels & Tumbleweed Road (Country Rock) | Friday, June 27 | 6–9 PM This Colorado Country Hall of Famer and her band deliver high-energy country rock with grit and soul. Pull up to Bootstrap, grab a Medal AF, and two-step into the weekend. 👀 Coming Saturday? Check out the Joe C. Wails Gang and a beach party that rewards costumes with free tasters. 🏖️ | Luau with Uke Dave | Saturday, June 28 | 6–8 PM Okay, not Friday—but we had to include this sunshine-filled luau with ukulele jams, tropical drinks, and good vibes galore. Dress the part, sip the part, live the part. Thomas Gornberg Duo | Saturday, June 28 | Time TBD Not Friday, but worth flagging. Grab a Dale’s Pale Ale and ease into the weekend with some laid-back acoustic tunes and a side of that Oskar Blues charm. |
Pro tip: Hit two spots in one night if you’re feeling adventurous (or just indecisive). You can always say it’s “research.”

Whether you were chasing live music or just chasing the sunset with a cold beer, we hope your Longmont weekend hit all the right notes. 🎶 🧠 Trivia Answer: C) Ursa Major Ursa Major by Parker McDonald was first installed in 2017 and quickly won Longmont’s heart. Originally part of the Art on the Move program, this cold-welded steel bear became so beloved, the community voted to keep him—permanently. He’s officially out of hibernation, so swing by the newly reopened 300 East breezeway and say hey to Big Bear. 🐻 Back Monday with more local gems, weird facts, and must-do hikes! -What’s Happenin’ Longmont Team 🌸 |
