Abby Webster to headline Give Big Gallatin Valley closing party May 1

Give Big Gallatin Valley is basically Bozeman’s annual sprint of civic generosity — one concentrated 24-hour push to get money moving to local non(tinworksart.org) with Abby Webster & Her Imaginary Band headlining at Tinworks at Rialto in downtown Bozeman. Doors open at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 1, and the music starts at 8. Lena Marie Schiffer opens the night. (tinworksart.org) ### What is happening tonight? Tinworks is hosting the (givebiggv.org)works at Rialto, 10 W. Main St. in Bozeman. The event is framed as the capstone to the community’s giving day — a way to mark the end of the campaign with a concert instead of just a countdown clock. Abby Webster is the main draw, but the full bill includes opener Lena Marie Schiffer before Webster’s band takes over. (tinworksart.org) ### Who is Abby Webster here? Abb(tinworksart.org)ers. Tinworks is not bringing in a random touring act just to fill a room — it is using a regional artist with a real foothold in southwest Montana. Event materials describe Webster’s sound as moving between alt-country, folk, and bedroom pop, which tells you this is meant to feel intimate and homegrown, not like a giant festival blowout.

Tinworks has plugged itself into that energy with a two-night run of programming — a dance party on April 30 and this closing concert on May 1. (tinworksart.org) ### How big is Give Big this year? Pretty big, even by(secure.qgiv.com)n for 266 nonprofits across Gallatin County, and the giving window runs from 6 p.m. on April 30 to 6 p.m. on May 1. One detail organizers are pushing hard this year: gifts made through the platform are advertised as 100% fee-free, so the full donation goes to the nonprofit a donor chooses. (givebiggv.org) ### What does the ticket actually support? This is not a pure benefit concert where every dollar goes straig(tinworksart.org)portion of each ticket supports Tinworks at Rialto’s ongoing programming in art, music, and community. So the event works on two levels — it celebrates the end of the countywide fundraiser, and it also helps sustain the venue and organizer behind the party. (secure.qgiv.com) ### What should someone know before going? The practical details are straightforward. D(givebiggv.org) Tickets are listed at $20 in advance and $25 at the door. The venue is Tinworks at Rialto, which event listings place at 10 W. Main St. in downtown Bozeman. (tinworksart.org) ### Why does this matter beyond one concert? Because Give Big works best when it feels social, not transactional. A giving day can be just another website and another donat(secure.qgiv.com)neighbors in one room, local musicians onstage, and a reminder that the nonprofits being funded are part of the same local culture scene. That is the whole pitch of this event.

If you are in Bozeman, the point is simple — donate by 6 p.m. if you want in on Give Big itself, then head to the Rialto if you want to watch the community close it out together. (tinworksart.org)
