If I had to sum up the night- we showed up for Whiskey Myers, and we stayed for King Solomon Hicks. What a lineup at Friday night's Magic City Blues Festival.
Elle King, Blues Traveler, Queensryche, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band are just some of the names of the bands soon playing at the Abayance Bay Marina in Rexford, which is just a short drive from Eureka, Montana.
I caught up with Jonah Prill in studio on Thursday morning. He's back from Los Angeles for a quick break. He's spending some time in Billings and on the family ranch South of Big Timber before he heads back to LA to find out if he makes it to the next round.
If you know a Montana singer looking to get their chance in the spotlight and a shot at making it big- "American Idol" auditions are soon opening up in Montana via Zoom.
There he is with ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, LIVE at the Grand Ole Opry less than a month ago. Butte, Montana's Tim Montana figured out a way to keep rocking throughout the pandemic, and now he's being profiled by Rolling Stone.
We got to hear Jessica Allestad play...and as it turns out- she is about to head to Nashville. She is a very impressive and talented young artist. After hearing her play, we thought- man, we better get her on the radio here in Montana before she takes off for Nashville.
I know I am not alone on this, but when you hear a song or even just a beat that catches your ear it sticks with you. You find yourself humming it what ever you are doing. Example: "Rah, rah-ah-ah-ahc Roma, roma-maa Gaga, ooh-la-la Want your bad romance"
What I sing to this tune is "rah, rah,ah,ah,ah Gaga ooh la-la cant believe I have not washed pants...
We all have those songs we still jam to yet don't ever think about how along ago they came out. Until now. I came across a few mix tapes/cds that I had laying around and could not believe it. Holy moly some of my favorites songs have just turned 20...
