SUMMARY:Solas
DESCRIPTION:Solas stepped out onto the world stage in 1996\, when Irish music was poised at the brink of a new era of innovation and popularity. The five young musicians who made up the band at the time had no idea that they were to be a galvanizing element in the Irish music scene – a lightening rod of talent and inspiration that set new standards for musicianship\, repertoire\, and intensity. “We thought we were doing a one-off project\,” said multi-instrumentalist Seamus Egan with a smile\, ten years after the fact. Egan and fiddler Winifred Horan have remained with the band through a decade that has encompassed seven albums and endless international touring and critical acclaim. \n“The finest Celtic ensemble this country has ever produced…combines a deep empathy for the wild grace of traditional music with a savvy understanding of modern arrangement\, creating a remarkably contemporary and timeless sound that led them immediately to Celtic superstardom…uniquely fluid\, warmly melodic and robust.” – The Boston Globe \nAfter an 8-year hiatus\, the band announced a 30th anniversary reunion tour starting in 2025\, with a stop in Hamilton\, MT! \n

SUMMARY:TopHouse
DESCRIPTION:A two-day 2026 Summer Concert Series featuring:  \nTopHouse – Friday July 10\, 2026  &  Lee Rocker – Saturday July 11\, 2026\nTopHouse\nFolk? Bluegrass? Rock? Irish? Pop? A lot of people ask us what genre we are. The truth is\, we don’t know. Check out some of our music and let us know what you think. TopHouse was created in 2015 by two Montana music majors\, guitarist/songwriter Jesse Davis and violinist William Cook before adding Joseph Larson (lead singer and guitar/banjo player\,) and Andy LaFave (piano) in 2017 and 2022 respectively. After being vaulted to local fame in their birthplace of Missoula\, with the Missoulian naming TopHouse one of the top 5 best new bands (two years in a row we might add)\, the band moved to Nashville\, TN in October of 2019. TopHouse quickly set to work attaining a local residency as well as getting music played on Nashville’s premier new-music radio station Lightning 100. With some viral social media moments\, a healthy dose of touring\, consistent time in the studio\, and a diet of Little Caesars and Red Bull\, TopHouse has continued to grow to the point of selling out venues in cities they’ve never even heard of. When they aren’t touring the U.S. they can be found around Nashville TN\, trying not to die in traffic and/or throwing the occasional round of disc golf. The band’s releases include Middle of Somewhere\, Hopes & Fears\, Snapshot\, The Irish EP\, and Campfire Stories. The band is currently releasing new music\, with their latest singles “Better is the End” and “Be Nobody” having their biggest first weeks to date (knock on wood). \nhttps://tophousetheband.com \nSummer Concert Details\n\nThis concert series is an outdoor two-day event Friday July 10\, 2026\, and Saturday July 11\, 2026\, at the Daly Mansion. \n2-Day Cabana & 2-Day Lawn Passes are available\, all other tickets are sold individually for each show. \n  \nTimes\n\n\nGates Open: 5:00pm\nOpening Acts: 7:00pm\nHeadliners: 8:00pm\n\nTopHouse on Friday night and Lee Rocker on Saturday night will take the stage at 8pm.
