   "Gatherings"

at Stillwater Landing

Our friend Marie Delaney , artist, writer and musician, created this visual impression of our outdoor "Lake Stage. Any resemblance to a "real musician" is purely intentional.  The plane might be a cross between my PA12 and  Bryans C-185.    

Lake Music Gatherings, "House/Hangar Concerts", "Splash In's for seaplanes",

 Weddings, and Special Events,

Stillwater Landing is a special place to gather and celebrate life

 

 

Summer 2110

 these events are free to everyone, but  we appreciate your generous donations of $10-$20 to support the musicians,

their traveling expenses, and to encourage their return

 

note:  our  many  great regional musicians are busy earning a living during the summer season, but most will be around to perform for us when they  have  an opportunity

The place to be this  summer.

I will post other events and jams (typically on Sunday afternoons)

Stages outdoors and in the hangar will showcase both national and regional performers, with jams and campfires keeping music going into the wee hours.

There will be scheduled performances plus many open mic's and  jams.

Pilots will find lots of camaraderie with old and new friends. 

I will also be working in conjunction with the Flying Musicians Organization this summer.

Saturday, Sept. 18th, 7 PM    Gwyenth & Monko

"With a voice that invokes Jenny Lewis’ solo work crossed with the intimate folk of Gillian Welch; Gwyneth & Monko evoke a feeling of nostalgia rooted deep in classic country fundamentals. Their first release as a duo, Good Old Horse breathes gently with down-home roots and indie folk sensibilities. Lyrics lace together fictional female characters, while the down-home style mirrors the musicians’ earnest lives stemming from their childhood into young adults and touring musicians

Nestled in Stillwater State Forest, just 35 miles below the Canadian border, 15 miles NW of Whitefish Montana and 40 miles from the West Glacier entrance to Glacier Park is a magical piece of land on Lower Stillwater Lake we call Stillwater Landing.

This is my private camp for music and fun with family, friends and others who share our interest in music, flying, and campfires under a Montana moon. I share it with the eagles, loons, turtles, deer, moose and the other friends of nature. 

My passion is music, arts and living with nature.  Stillwater Landing is a retreat, complete with a small amphitheater on the water and an indoor stage in our hangar.

Sharing this with my many musician friends and our friends who love to just listen, has led us to many "spontaneous" jam sessions as well as some more organized events. Usually the first weekend  in August I host a LAKE MUSIC FESTIVAL and include a seaplane "splash in" on even years (next one  Aug. 6-8 2010).

The facility is now available for private events and weddings.

Check the General Information bar for  details, transportation, lodging and other information.

HOUSE RULES!

no smoking except in designated area near the entrance

dogs must be on leash and owners must clean up after them

kids must be under direct parental control and not interfere with concerts

 (we are usually recording)

concerts are to "listen", conversations must be out of "earshot"

camping and use of lake  area is at your own risk

approved floatation devices are required on all watercraft, they do give $100 tickets!

I "live here" so respect private areas
