Lawn chairs and blankets are welcome.Raised between the rugged lines of Tennessee and the long shadows of Michigan, Cruz Contreras has spent nearly thirty years forging his path through the Americana musical landscape. He’s a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, bandleader, producer, and storyteller whose voice cuts through noise like a well-honed blade.First as co-founder of Robinella and the CCstringband, then as the fire at the heart of The Black Lillies, Cruz helped carve a sound that feels as old as the hills and as wild as the road. His songs have topped the Billboard and Americana charts, picked up Independent Music Awards, and earned him a nomination from the Americana Music Association as an emerging artist, though his music suggests he was never chasing trends to begin with.He’s stood on stages from Conan O’Brien’s late-night set to the Grand Ole Opry, the latter over 40 times, and drawn praise from Rolling Stone, NPR, American Songwriter, and Vanity Fair. Contreras has toured with Robert Earl Keen and the Turnpike Troubadours, collaborated with John Oates, and shared stages with Old Crow Medicine Show, The Travelin’ McCourys, Tyler Childers, Mavis Staples, Elizabeth Cook and more. A festival veteran, Cruz Contreras & The Black Lillies have performed at Bonnaroo, Merle Fest, Jazz Fest, Red Ants Pants, Stagecoach, High Sierra, DelFest, Pickathon, Mile Zero, Cayamo and more.Cruz Contreras & The Black Lillies kick off their Feels Like Home summer tour on June 24th in Durango, Colorado, in support of his upcoming album. Tour dates and tickets at cruzcontreras.com/tour. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/helena/cruz-contreras-and-the-black-lillies/100001990900559166 - **Event Categories**: festivals, music, live-music, art, entertainment, jazz - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Lewis & Clark Tap Room - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 23.18, max: 23.18, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Helena - **state**: MT - **country**: United States - **location**: Lewis & Clark Tap Room - **lat**: 46.600384 - **long**: -112.02170999999998 - **full address**: Lewis & Clark Tap Room, 1517 Dodge Avenue, Helena, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Cruz Contreras & The Black Lillies - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/ce425d574a041b54c4cd1376de9050827c0e66ca7b6505c7dc16fabfced99cab-rimg-w1200-h800-dc8c8e48-gmir.jpg?v=1780564670 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Cruz Contreras & The Black Lillies being held? - **A:** Cruz Contreras & The Black Lillies takes place on Thu, 09 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Thu, 09 Jul, 2026 at 11:00 pm at Lewis & Clark Tap Room, 1517 Dodge Avenue, Helena, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Cruz Contreras & The Black Lillies? - **A:** Cruz Contreras & The Black Lillies is organized by Lewis & Clark Tap Room. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
