Fool's Gold

Live music is back and stronger than ever in Montana. We have lots of new material along with our already large repertoire (6 hours and growing). More country, blues and rock. We are currently booked till October. If you are looking for a great dance band for events, parties or bar gigs let us know.

Hi everyone.  Covid slowed down performance in 2020.  There is a pent up demand for music as we approach spring.  We have already booked several weddings throughout the upcoming spring, summer, and fall.  We will be playing private parties, charity events and bar gigs.  We will be up in Whitefish playing at the Great Northern in Whitefish this summer.  Don't forget the big barn party at the BarMZ in Norris Montana on the 12th of June.

If any of you are thinking a private party, christmas parties, New Year's, etc.  Consider booking them soon as we are getting quite booked up.  The band is still the same cast of characters.  We have added a number of new tunes to the repertoire as well.  We look forward to seeing you soon!!!

Well, we have survived the summer. We were able to play at a small wedding in Bozeman, MT.
We enjoyed being around people and got to do what we love, play music and entertain! Our schedule is still uncertain as we navigate this season. We hope to see people out and about this next summer and look forward to 2021! We are still available for events, please reach out! If you enjoy our company please leave us a review!

A number of our gigs have been postponed or canceled due to the Coronavirus.  We start up in June again.  God willing.  We have weddings in June, a tour to Minnesota in July, and weddings and gigs in August and September.  We will post them as they get closer.

We all are saddened with the death of John Prine.  It's getting real out there.  You all stay safe and do practice social distancing!

We started to get snow storms in late September.  Now that it is late October they are becoming more frequent and heavier.  The summer was a busy one for Fool's Gold.  We had many weddings, private parties, and bar gigs.  We have one more gig for the year on New Year's Eve in West Yellowstone at the Wild West Saloon.  It was a great party there last year!  We are already getting pretty booked up for weddings and private parties in 2020.  If you are planning a wedding I advise you to call soon.  We have a 5 Star rating on weddingwire.com as all of the reviews from our brides and grooms have been outstanding.  As we book shows we will announce them here on our site as well as on our facebook page.  We hope to see you in the upcoming year!

This year is stacking up to be a great summer in the Madison Valley and music opportunities abound.  Fool's Gold will be playing a number of events like the 2019 Beer and Spirits Festival, the 7th annual Willies Pig Roast, 4th of July Parade and BBQ in Ennis, private parties and weddings.  We will also be playing a few bar gigs in West Yellowstone, Bozeman and Ennis.  Check out our facebook page and website for our calendar of events.

We hope to see all our friends and meet some new ones along the way.  We have lots of new music and a fantastic line-up in the band.  Make sure to check us out!  God Bless America!!!!

Fool's Gold is going strong with private events, weddings, and bar gigs.  Coming up are gigs at the Gallatin River House Grill in Big Sky, Sunrise Saloon in Missoula, The Gravel Bar in Ennis, The Eagles in Bozeman, The Blue Moon Saloon in Cameron, and the Wild West in West Yellowstone.  In addition we are doing some weddings and private parties.  We are now taking bookings for weddings and private parties in 2019.

The band has a super solid set list and we continue to add new songs regularly, especially with harmonies.  We would love to see you all come out to one or more of our upcoming gigs.  We thank all of you loyal followers for spreading the word.  See you on the road.

What a busy summer for the band.  Weddings, private events, and bar gigs.  We played some new venues for the first time, The Bale of Hay (in Virginia City), The Wild West (in W. Yellowstone), and The Two Bit Saloon (in Whitehall).  We have had some personnel changes as well.  My long time friend and bass player, Lem Boyd, has chosen to move on and perfect his singles act.  We wish him the very best.  You might see him on stage with us from time to time.  He surely will be missed.  Brian Cartwright joins Fool's Gold to replace Lem on bass.  Brian has been the leader of another band, AlterEgo, for over 20 years.  Brian brings a lot of bass and singing skills to the band and is a welcome addition.  We have a number of gigs planned throughout the fall and winter at both the Gallatin River House, in Big Sky, and the Wild West in W. Yellowstone.  We will also be playing at one of our favorites, The Blue Moon Saloon in November and December.

We are booking weddings already for the spring and summer of 2018.  If you are contemplating one or know someone who is, let them know about us.  We love weddings!!!!  Also, its time to book your Christmas parties and New Year's parties.  Keep us in mind as we are filling up fast.  We look forward to seeing you out there in beautiful SW Montana this fall and winter.
