Backroads and Alleys

Message from the Road... This blog is to review the local watering holes and interview bands. I have been a photographer for 30 years. In that time I have shot extreme sports, special events, and unique images. My mission of the day has always been the same...wait, watch, and let the person truly express who and what they are about. The music scene is the venue for eclectic individuals who always delivery sources for good times and great stories. This is about enjoying music and people. Please stop me and tell your story.

Le Cave and the Lucky Boys


Backroads, rainy days, and a cold north wind what are you going to find? Well if you are lucky a warm room and maybe a hot band. Lynda and I found Le Cave vineyard which is just south of Billings . It was what I call the real deal, it’s a family owned vineyard who are there for your enjoyment. The ambience is wonderful. The staff is folksy and warm, and they definitely love what they’re doing. Larry and Beth opened their wine barn to all comers and made us feel like you were at a neighborhood party. The Barn is over 100 years old and converted into a great venue. Which brings me to the reason for the blog,…. Bands and watering holes. The band “Lucky Boys” may be lucky but I think we had the best luck. The band was all about good times and great tunes. They covered the blues classics and gave us the feel we were just included in a relaxed nightly practice. They brought night home with Captain Jacks favorite Mustang Sally. Tom and the Lucky Boys left us wanting a couple more hours of their music friendship. Great time,.. please checkout the Lucky Boys and the Le Cave vineyard.
