About the hosts
Bozeman Poetry Collective The collective was founded in August of 2013 and meets monthly at Steep Mountain Teahouse, and weekly at Valhallah Meadery for open mic readings. Poets and enthusiasts of all disciplines and levels of experience come to events from around the state to enjoy an open and relaxed atmosphere and become inspired by a talented and diverse spectrum of local artists. We hope to see you at the mic. The Bozeman Poetry Collective's goal is to establish a comfortable environment for local poets and poetry enthusiasts alike to share their original works or others' works they enjoy while raising money for the SW MT community!

Live From the Divide Live From The Divide hosts songwriters in an intimate venue on the north side of Bozeman, Montana. Every month, artists take the small stage in their 100-year-old brick-and-wood building near the old railyard, giving no more than 50 audience-goers at a time the chance to hear genuine American Roots music with unique, raw acoustics and up-close-and personal emotion. They connect artists of national, regional, and local acclaim with an engaged and appreciative audience. Live From The Divide curates an atmosphere that transcends the conventional concert experience.
