JENI FLEMING at The Filling Station
Vocalist JENI FLEMING with ERIC FUNK (piano) & JOHN SANDERS (bass) take the stage at The Filling Station, Sept. 27, 2004, for a distinctive evening of music.
Concertgoers will delight to find Bozeman's most treasured barroom transformed into a one-night-only jazz club, complete with a 6-foot grand piano perched beneath the iconic Mobil Pegasus.
Having spent much of her career playing theaters, The Filling Station has been a bucket list venue for FLEMING who finds meaning in repurposing unexpected songs for audiences typically well-acquainted with jazz sub-genres. The juxtaposition of candlelit cocktail tables set between the beer can-lined walls of The Filler offers sufficient foreshadowing of the music being offered. When one thinks of the 80's hair metal band "Def Leppard," chances are they don't think beautiful ballad. In the same way, utterances of "The Filling Station" to Bozemanites may not conjure white linens & hushed tones. Herein lies the point: changing the form invites us to experience something again, for the 1st time, be that a song, a bar, or a singer.
ERIC FUNK is known for his success as a pianist, composer & beloved teacher. A mentor & colleague of FLEMING, their work together extends nearly 30 years bac including several appearances on "11th & Grant with Eric Funk," MT PBS's multi Emmy-award winning television program. His many roles in & varied connections to this community, musical & otherwise, transcend genre, generation or discipline, making FUNK an immeasurable treasure to the Northwest cultural landscape.
JOHN SANDERS has built a steady & enviable career over two decades becoming a much sought after bassist in the area. SANDERS currently plays for upwards of 8 bands at any given time including Pinky And The Floyd & The Tiny Band. His most recent solo album "You & Me," (2023) showcases an obvious songwriting, multi-instrumental & vocal prowess.
Marrying unexpected material with traditional style is a hallmark of FLEMING's creative work. While environment certainly alters experience, time in all it's power & meaning can transform it. At 50, FLEMING performs substantially less than in years past, but when she does she gladly & unapologetically brings all parts of herself to the table.
One of Bozeman's precious few unchanged landmarks, surprising musical selections, delivered by a familiar, powerful & inviting voice; don't miss this one-night-only performance.
7PM show (doors 6:30) 9PM show (doors 8:30) Limited seating, advance tickets only: fleming-funk-sanders.brownpapertickets.com
