Montana-Born Singer MARIS Is Coming Home to Missoula

There’s something special when a Montana-born musician who has gone on to become a major name in music returns home to where it all started.

We’ve seen it with Jeff Ament. 

Whether he’s coming back with Pearl Jam or playing with one of his other projects, there’s something extra cool about seeing a Montana-born musician who has gone on to become a major name in music return to the place where it all started. 

Celebrating Local Legends

We’ve seen it with Tim Montana, too. 

He’s been making his way back through the state for shows, including a really cool veterans fundraiser in Missoula last month. 

Introducing MARIS: A Rising Star

Now, another Montana-born artist is coming home. 

This one could be really interesting to watch. 

MARIS is a Missoula-born, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter who is getting some serious attention right now. 

She's been featured by major publications, including the Los Angeles Times, and has been building a growing following with her music and energetic live performances. 

Now, MARIS is making her way back to Montana for an intimate appearance at the Top Hat in Missoula. 

The show is happening November 10, with tickets available through Logjam Presents. 

The thing I really like about this gig is the fact that it’s happening at the Top Hat. 

This isn't some giant arena performance.

It’s an intimate Missoula venue where you’re going to be able to get much closer to the artist than you probably will if MARIS continues on her current trajectory. 

Because she’s getting noticed. 

Live Performances that Captivate

MARIS has been making her way around the country and the world, playing shows and getting more attention for her music and performances. 

Her live shows are a big part of the appeal, too. 

She puts on a high-energy performance and is encouraging people to get involved, jump around, open up a pit, and have some fun. 

That makes this show even more interesting. 

A Unique Opportunity to See MARIS

How often are we going to get a chance to see an artist who is on the verge of potentially becoming a much bigger name play a room this small? 

Maybe you go see MARIS at the Top Hat in November and five years from now you’re telling somebody, “Yeah, I saw her at the Top Hat before she got really big.”

The Thrill of Watching Talent Grow

You never really know when you’re watching the beginning of something. 

When that artist happens to be from Montana, there’s an extra little connection to it. 

MARIS left Montana and is building a career far beyond the state. 

Now she’s coming home. 

The Journey Ahead for MARIS

Who knows where the road will take MARIS from here? 

This could be one of your final chances to see her perform in a small, intimate venue before those venues get a whole lot bigger.
