Boulder already hosts a music and arts festival each September, and the Headwaters Country Jam music festival which draws more than 4,000 attendees to Cardwell each year.
“We are by no means a musical desert here in Boulder, and we have a decent number of events every year,” said Boulder resident Debbie Gabse. “But it’s mostly country and western. We live in Montana, and it’s both lovely and what you’d expect. But I really feel there’s room for variety, and introducing people to new things.”
That’s why Gabse founded the Boulder Montana Arts Council, which aims to increase the number and variety of musical performances held in Boulder, in late 2023. She recently acquired a donated baby grand piano that will allow her organization to host visiting pianists for local concerts.
