Walkin' Jim's "Forever Wild": 
a Multi-Media Celebration

Please join us May 14 at the Swan River Community Hall as Swan View Coalition celebrates its 25th Anniversary with Walkin’ Jim! One of America's most unique folksingers and backcountry travelers, Montana's Walkin' Jim Stoltz will present his powerful multi-media show, Forever Wild. The mix of stunning photography, stories, and music make this one-of-a-kind concert an inspiring journey into our nation’s last wilderness areas.

His show inspires and motivates the audiences to help preserve our last wild places. The show starts at 7pm and doors open at 6:30 at the junction of Swan Hwy 83, Echo Lake and Swan River roads north of Bigfork.

 

Everyone can afford this wonderful show! We'll ask for voluntary donations and raffle off two wonderful Patagonia jackets, one men's and one women's, to pay the bills. See the Forever Wild Poster for a look at the jackets and details on how to buy raffle tickets!

Walkin' Jim gets his name from nearly 27,000 miles he has walked through the wild country of North America.  Carrying a guitar and writing his songs along the way, his lyrics express a great love and respect for the Earth and the wild places he knows so well.   

Known for his powerful baritone and emotion-packed vocals, Stoltz’s Forever Wild show is much more than a concert. It combines live music and poetry with stunning, multi-image slides to create a stirring celebration of the natural world.  Stoltz is veteran of more than 30 years of performing and you can learn more about him at www.walkinjim.com!  

See you there!
