Spotlight Page 5, Livingston Enterprise Thursday, June 17, 2021 Band of Drifters to drift into Paradise Valley

By Enterprise Staff

Pine Creek Lodge announced the return of several artists and acts new and old this summer, including the familiar fac- es of The Band of Drifters. “The Band of Drifters plays Modern American Roots Music and they encourage you to dance,” a Pine Creek press release said on their website. Based mostly in Montana and Tennessee, the band also includes players from all over the country, keeping the music varied in arrangement, instrumentation and regional influ- ences, the release said. Their sets draw from country, folk and blues traditions with an emphasis on original songs, done in the old style. Their lat- est releases are both full-length, live albums — “Rialto April 5, 2019,” recorded at the Rialto Theater in Bozeman, and “Live At Follow Yer Nose BBQ,” recorded Aug. 31, 2019 in Paradise Valley. The show at Pine Creek Lodge premieres from 7 to 10 p.m. tonight. Tickets for the show are $10 and can be purchased at Photo courtesy Logjam Presents https://www.pinecreeklodgemontana.com/events/2021/7/31/ Pictured is frontman Ian Thomas, second from left, and fellow bandmates of The Band of Drifters. band-of-drifters.

Official says Nepal desperately needs vaccines KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Nepal has significantly reduced coronavirus infec- tions after its worst outbreak, which overwhelmed the coun- try’s medical system, but is in desperate need of vac- cines, its health minister said Thursday. “We have gone down from the red stage to the yellow stage, but are not yet able to reach the green zone,” Health Minister Sher Bahadur Tamang said in an interview with The Associated Press. “We are working very hard to get us there.” Nepal has been under lock- down since April after new cases and deaths spiked fol- lowing a massive outbreak in neighboring India. Close to 10,000 new cases and hundreds of deaths were reported daily in mid-May, when the surge was at its worst. There was an acute shortage of hospital beds, medicines and oxygen for patients. In the capital, Kathmandu, doctors treated patients in hospital corridors, verandahs and parking lots, and ambu- lances were turned back due to a lack of space. There were long lines at oxygen plants to fill cylinders. After weeks of lockdown, the situation has improved. The number of new cases on Thursday was 2,607 along with 39 deaths, according to the Health Ministry. Nepal launched a vaccina- tion campaign in January but was forced to suspend it after India halted exports of domestically produced Astra- Zeneca vaccines because of its own outbreak. China then donated 800,000 doses of Sin- opharm vaccine in March and another 1 million earlier this month.

Lisbon travel banned on week- ends as Portugal fights virus surge

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Travel in and out of the Lis- bon metropolitan area is to be banned over coming weekends as Portuguese authorities respond to a spike in new COVID-19 cas- es in the region around the capital, officials announced Thursday. The ban in the area where some 2.8 million people live comes into effect from 3 p.m. on Friday, Cabinet spokeswoman Mariana Viei- ra da Silva said, in an effort to contain the surge. “We’re aware (the travel ban) isn’t easy and that it’s not what people want, but we feel it’s necessary to protect the rest of the country,” she told a press conference. The travel restrictions are open-ended, pending period- ic reviews. Flights out of Lisbon airport are exempt from the ban, as are work- related journeys. Police con- trol points will check travel- ers.
