St. Timothy’s Summer Music Festival: Montana Manouche - Georgetown Lake

- Sunday, August 25, 2019
The festival closes with Montana Manouche. The quartet began in 2012, when bluegrass musicians Ray Padilla (rhythm guitar) and Nancy Padilla (violin) from Bozeman, started getting together to play Gypsy jazz tunes with Livingston guitarist Dave Sullivan. Their casual jamming led to a passion for the repertoire of famed Gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt and French jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli, who together formed the popular Hot Club of France in the 1930s.
Now a quartet with Bozeman jazz bassist Mike Carey, Montana Manouche enjoys an increasingly active performing schedule, playing concerts, private events, and swing dances.
They’ll be joined for this concert by Michelle Manzo Cobb, an acclaimed vocalist dedicated to jazz who has performed with Les Paul, Gene Bertoncini, Ray Santos and Victor Jones.
