PINKY AND THE FLOYD – WISH YOU WERE HERE + 60’S VIGNETTE
APRIL 13TH & 14TH

The last time we played the Rialto Bozeman was the very first show in the newly renovated venue (Jan 2018). Here’s a taste of that night (featuring copyright safe Floyd-ish music courtesy of our own Jake Fleming! 😆).
Friday & Saturday nights, we get to do it again!!! This time featuring some crazy visual graphics technology, a super dialed state-of-the-art sound & light system, and more music than we’ve ever tackled. We hope you can join us for this momentous occasion!!
TICKET UPDATE:
6pm, Wish You Were Here/60’s: less than 100 left. This will sell out in advance, so get those tickets now!
10pm, Animals/90’s: still a bunch left including some Mezzanine seats. Tickets will likely be available at the door, but we don’t suggest waiting.
TOMORROW: Meddle is 1/2 sold and Darkside is nearly sold out, only 50 tickets left. HURRY!

Wielding a 4-string guitar named “Howlin Duke”, which he built out of other broken guitars and junk parts that were laying around his house, Mario infuses his cultural roots, storytelling, a strong passion for playing music, along with his humorous demeanor and molds it into a unique live show that people of all ages can enjoy.
