Brady Wilcox: Brady's got a rough edgy vibe about him and tends to get on the wild side, yet he is also a gentle, loving, family man. Being From Southern Oklahoma, Brady is always doing something outdoors. Watching his daily adventures is quite a riot. His songs are rich with rock and country vibes with an alternative feel. He’s constantly keeping his fans on their toes as he pops out new tunes. You never know if he’s going to pop out a mainstream-sounding country song, a rockin' out banger, or do a rap collaboration. His social media is always filled with crazy photos and videos of who knows what, whether he’s holding an alligator or with a boat full of people and a kangaroo, it's always sure to be entertaining. Brady and his guys put on high-energy shows that keep fans on their feet.
Shodown: Montana favorite, Shodown has matured into one of the best bands in Montana. The band has a diverse playlist and style that blends bluegrass, western swing, traditional/modern country, blues, pop, and 70’s/80’s/90’s rock-n-roll, which has made Shodown a widely popular Montana band for many years. In addition to very strong lead vocals, most arrangements feature rich harmonies, mixed with driving guitars, fiddle, and a solid, grooving rhythm section. Shodown always brings an entertaining and high-energy performance to their family-friendly shows. This band will make you want to get up and dance!
Voodoo Alley: Known as the Pacific Northwest renowned party band! In the words of nationally renowned touring musician John Farey (who played with Van Morrison, Sly and the Family Stone, and others) “I can say VooDoo Alley is a premier rock and power band. Their material is well selected, upbeat, mostly but not entirely familiar, perfectly suited for the band, full of surprises and with every song displaying high energy. For an all-around, solid, fun, and party-inducing club and concert experience, these are the guys to check out… Five-star entertainment!
Dan Henry is a Montana-born musician whose love of music and passion for entertaining has helped him carve out a living playing across Montana, with a vision of taking his show across the country. Mr. Henry has constructed his one-man band by combining his guitar with the bluesy sounds of harmonica, the rhythmic beats of his stomp box, and his unique vocal stylings. With this combination, Mr. Henry has a wealth of original music spiced with hints of blues, folk, rock, and country. His Debut album "Gillian Hall" is available to stream on most platforms and CDs are available at live performances.
Matt Strachan, a Montana based singer songwriter, shines on stage with his high-energy, crowd-pleasing band The Hoot Owls. The songs dig deep into life’s struggles while delivering an uplifting spirit that gets folks up dancing. Compared to American Aquarium’s BJ Barnum, Matt has a way of bringing listeners into honest stories that resonate and bring emotional responses.

The Unpredictables is the husband and wife musical duo of Jeremy and Adelle Terry.

Levi Blom: Levi Blom is an emerging Country Music Singer/Songwriter who was born and raised in Butte, Montana. We are a fun, energetic original/cover country band with a Little Rock and Roll mixed in. Levi was raised playing sports and played semi-pro hockey. After his hockey career ended, he began his music journey in 2016 and quickly fell in love. Levi has found himself amongst an awesome group of musicians, and together they have opened for acts such as Joe Nichols, Stephanie Quayle, John King, Reckless Kelly, Blackhawk and many more. The Levi Blom train keeps picking up speed and isn’t slowing down anytime soon, they are sure to get you on your feet and dancing.
Ten Years Gone started 12 years ago as a father-son quartet. Revised over the years they added a keyboard player and started to play pop and alternative dance tunes. They are a cover band that plays live shows about 2-3 times a month in Breweries, Bars, Music festivals and weddings. High energy and multilevel talent on their instruments. Playing mostly funk, classic rock, pop hits, 90s rock, and county. Songs for any age and any taste in music, always what the crowd enjoys. The Ten Years Gone name came from a Led Zepplin song. They pride themselves in 4 and 5-part harmony singing and take their instruments to the next level of precision. Must see to appreciate. Robert Doughty- Lead Guitar, Mark Walker- Keys and vocals, Jeremy Slead- Drums and Vocals, Dennis Ferriter- Bass
