We are excited to welcome Caleb and Reeb back to Bozeman for a BFS show! They were here in Nov. 2019 for a show at the Story Mansion that was fantastic – they’ll be here again on Feb. 24, 2024 for a show in the rich acoustic setting of the Sanctuary at Pilgrim Church.
Sometimes we get so unnecessarily swept up in who’s rising and falling in music these days that the sheer joy of music is overlooked. Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms are a world apart from all of that nonsense and let you immerse yourself in the melody and story of classic sounding country music until all other cares of life fade away. Charismatic performers, they bring their unique set of talents to the stage with an eye towards good times and an ear towards the deepest songs and tunes.
After years of touring together, Reeb and Caleb work intuitively. The pair bring the spirit of legendary country duos into their contemporary takes on country music. The blend of true harmonies, the sharply-written original songs, and the un-showy authenticity strike a rich vein that makes them seem like they are born and raised in Music City. But the Pacific Northwest is their home. For years, Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms have been at the heart of the Pacific Northwest music scene. For some time now they’ve been leading the underground country scene, quietly pursuing a country music vision without much care for what’s expected or in vogue at the time. There’s a lot to admire in this singular perseverance and honesty.
Caleb and Reeb both originally hail from Washington State: Caleb from the coastal San Juan Islands, and Reeb from the high desert plateau of Douglas County. The two have come together in music and are hailed as some of the most compelling musicians making country roots music in America today. When these two sing together, their honest incantations leave us spell-bound and smiling. Pillars of the Northwest music scene, they carry the torch of their music around the world, and can be found touring as a duo, as well as with the Foghorn Stringband, and the Caleb Klauder Reeb Willms Country Band.
The show is at Pilgrim Church, 2118 S. 3rd Ave. in Bozeman. Doors open at 7:00, and the show starts at 7:30. Children 12 and under admitted for free. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door.
