The summer concert series Alive at Five returns to the Walking Mall this Wednesday, July 8, with Give It To 'Em Florabelle, a Missoula-based rock-and-soul band that organizers describe as known for high-energy, dramatic performances. The show is free and takes place at the Last Chance Street Dance at the corner of Last Chance Gulch and Lawrence Street.
The featured nonprofit for this week's show is YWCA Helena, which will have a presence at the event. Alive at Five has long served as one of the summer's most reliable gathering points for Helena residents — the kind of midweek event that pulls people out of their offices and onto Last Chance Gulch for a few hours before dinner.
Give It To 'Em Florabelle performs what the band describes as a fusion of rock and soul, with a stage presence that has built them a following across western Montana. Wednesday's show starts at 5 p.m. Admission is free.
