Modern-day troubadour Jesse Welles brings his Red Tour to KettleHouse Amphitheater in Bonner, MT on Sunday, August 9, 2026, with support from Ratboys.

Hailing from Ozark, Arkansas, Welles is part of a new wave of modern troubadours, blending raw storytelling with stripped-down folk and Americana. His songs tackle personal struggles and social issues with equal parts honesty and wit, as heard on tracks like “Cancer,” “Fentanyl,” and “War Isn’t Murder.” He has earned four Grammy nominations along with a rapidly growing fanbase and acclaim from outlets like Rolling Stone and The New York Times.

Following the breakout success of his viral acoustic performances and a string of independently released albums, Welles continues to build momentum with his 2025 release Middle. His intimate, unfiltered approach—whether on stage or in front of a camera—has resonated with millions, turning grassroots momentum into sold-out shows across the country.

Joining the evening are indie rockers Ratboys, known for melodic, guitar-driven songs like “I Go Out at Night.” The band previously opened for The Decemberists at the Amp in 2024, proving they’re a perfect fit for the stage (photos).

Set against the scenic banks of the Blackfoot River, Welles’ powerful storytelling will make this a can’t-miss summer night.

Jesse Welles unassumingly upholds and continues the tradition of traveling troubadours, relaying the news, putting pain into words, and healing with a little humor. Fearless, he reports from the frontlines of a divided country on the brink, addressing inequalities and injustices, cutting through all bullshit and driving directly to the source of the matter. His songs leave the same mark in front of a sold-out club as they do under the unbiased eye of a smartphone camera as he strums his guitar alone in the wilderness of Arkansas. Following tens of millions of streams and a groundswell of acclaim from Rolling Stone, the New York Times, and more, the singer, songwriter, and guitar player cuts deep on his 2025 full-length album Middle. “Breathe to write, write to breathe,” he says. “Humans are meant to create, so I’m gonna create music and keep releasing it constantly.”

Jesse calls Ozark, AR home. Growing up, his father worked as a mechanic, and his mom a school teacher. Early on, his grandpa copied The Beatles’ White Album and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band for Jesse. Continue reading…

Multi-platinum pop singer-songwriter Andy Grammer will bring The Big Stupid Heart Tour to the KettleHouse Amphitheater on Friday, July 31, 2026 with special guests Walk Off the Earth.

Known for his upbeat energy and heartfelt lyrics, Grammer has built a massive global following with a string of chart-topping hits and billions of streams. Since breaking through with his 2011 debut single “Keep Your Head Up,” he has delivered fan-favorite songs like the multi-platinum anthem “Honey, I’m Good.,” “Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah),” and “Don’t Give Up on Me.”

Joining the night are Canadian pop innovators Walk Off the Earth, known for their creative performances and viral videos. The band first gained worldwide attention with inventive multi-instrument covers before launching a successful career of their own with songs like “Red Hands” and “Rule the World.”

After co-headlining an unforgettable night at the Amphitheater with Fitz and the Tantrums in 2022 (photos), Andy Grammer returns to the banks of the Blackfoot River for another incredible summer night along the Blackfoot River.

You might be surprised Andy Grammer called his new album Monster. He was too. Long known as one of the most optimistic bright lights in the pop singer-songwriter sphere, Grammer found himself fighting demons and finding new corners of himself, places he hadn’t wanted to venture before. “Being happy, anger is my vulnerability,” he says. “I didn’t know how to deal with getting in touch with anger. I just pretended it wasn’t there.” Grammer embarked on a long mental health journey that mirrored an exploratory five-year interim between albums which, of course, happened to coincide with a particularly tumultuous five years for all of us. After everything, Monster, arriving October 4, became a document of someone walking through a fire they never wanted to even look at, and what happens when they emerge on the other side.  

In the half decade since 2019’s Naive, Grammer lived a lot of life. There were heart-bursting highs, like welcoming his second child, and harrowing trials, including the rupture of an important relationship. During the bleak pandemic years, he sought therapy for the first time, and began realizing there were all kinds emotions he was just beginning to process for the first time. Continue reading…
