🎶 Spice Up Your Thursday: Live Music Hits Longmont (Jan 29)
Thursday night in Longmont is shaping up to be one of those “how do we choose?” kind of evenings — with heartfelt Americana on Main Street and a free songwriter showcase just a few blocks away. Whether you’re in the mood for sit-and-listen magic or a casual, beer-in-hand kind of night, the 29th has you covered.
🎻 Soundpost Sessions Spotlight: Maygen & The Birdwatcher w/ Grace Clark
📍 The Times Collaborative/ Towne Square Shoppes | ⏰ 7:30–10:00 PM | 🎟️ $18 advance / $20 day-of
This is one for the music lovers who like depth, harmony, and stories that linger. Maygen & The Birdwatcher bring a lush, bluegrass-tinged Americana sound that feels both expansive and intimate — powered by rich harmonies, fiddle lines, and a full-band energy that’s earned them serious acclaim.
Opening the night is Grace Clark, whose classically trained voice floats effortlessly between folk, bluegrass, and Americana. It’s the kind of pairing that makes you grateful for smaller rooms and quiet crowds.
🎸 Music at Bricks on Main: John Bunzli – Cafe Con Leche Songs
📍 Bricks on Main | ⏰ 6:00–9:00 PM | 🎟️ Free
If you love local songwriting stories, this one’s special. John Bunzli is celebrating five years of writing one new song every single week — and he’s invited fellow Front Range singer-songwriters to perform their favorite of his tunes.
It’s relaxed, collaborative, and very Longmont — great music, no cover, and plenty of reasons to stick around for one more drink.
Two venues. Two totally different vibes. One excellent Thursday night. 🎶
