Description:
Modern-day troubadour Jesse Welles brings his Red Tour to KettleHouse Amphitheater in Bonner, MT on Sunday, August 9, 2026, with support from Ratboys.

Hailing from Ozark, Arkansas, Welles is part of a new wave of modern troubadours, blending raw storytelling with stripped-down folk and Americana. His songs tackle personal struggles and social issues with equal parts honesty and wit, as heard on tracks like “Cancer,” “Fentanyl,” and “War Isn’t Murder.” He has earned four Grammy nominations along with a rapidly growing fanbase and acclaim from outlets like Rolling Stone and The New York Times.

Following the breakout success of his viral acoustic performances and a string of independently released albums, Welles continues to build momentum with his 2025 release Middle. His intimate, unfiltered approach—whether on stage or in front of a camera—has resonated with millions, turning grassroots momentum into sold-out shows across the country.

Joining the evening are indie rockers Ratboys, known for melodic, guitar-driven songs like “I Go Out at Night.” The band previously opened for The Decemberists at the Amp in 2024, proving they’re a perfect fit for the stage.
