In 2024, the founding members, Emma and Abby Robino, expanded the band with the integration of drums and bass provided by Ethan and Aden Bellcock. The quartet's extended sonic capabilities and presence launched the band into a new style featuring not only the blues and rock previously explored by the duo, but also an innovative fusion of the funk genre in both re-invented covers and redeveloped originals.
The Emma and the Ledge band has received much acclaim throughout the Gallatin Valley with their steadily increasing performances and pioneering sound. The band won the 2025 Bozeman Magazine’s Reader’s Choice “Best Blues Band”, making the Emma and the Ledge name the winner for two consecutive years. !
The Dead Yellers
Songwriter Peter King gears his lyrics around the human condition, love, war, and self control. His songs tell the story of honest blue collar life in a small town. His influences range from the sad high lonesome classic country sound to the individualist ideals of a diy punk rock show at the local vfw. His blend of high energy dance numbers and soft sad ballads round out The Dead Yellers true Montana sound.
King Ropes
King Ropes’ 6th full length album, Idaho, is soaked in "The Spirit of The West". Whatever that means. It’s not The West of tourism pamphlets, fly fishing, or cowboys riding into the sunset. Riffing on the idea of Idaho as a kind of misunderstood underdog, the band is more interested in evoking a world both remarkably gorgeous and harshly unforgiving.
The band is carving out a sound for itself that reflects modern life in The American West — evoking the bewildering complexity and contradictions, the massive expanses, mythology and realities, mind blowing beauty and heartbreaking hardships. Boom and Bust. The Mountain West. The American West.
So, it’s fitting that King Ropes’ music is full of open spaces and jagged edges. Guitars scrape and whine. Amps rumble. Rickety pianos rattle in and out of tune. Like the West, nothing is too refined. At the center of it all is Dave Hollier, a gifted songwriter at the top of his game; with his odd quivering voice, surveying a land that’s a solar system unto itself, an impossible collection of distances and dreams.

Colourblind
Indie Rock based in Bozeman, Montana
Sam was a guitarist going to school in Bozeman, Montana, when he crossed paths with Woody, another musician with a knack for songwriting and a love for the same records. What started as playing some covers together turned into bouncing ideas back and forth to write music of their own. Before long, they had enough songs for a (rough) set and decided to throw a garage show for some friends in town. That night laid the foundation for something bigger. Among the crammed garage audience was Cade, who was drawn to what the two kids were up to. After talking post-show, he joined as the drummer, solidifying their core lineup, and further developing the identity of Colourblind.
The band spent the next few months playing local gigs and refining their sound. The following summer, at one of their shows, they met Louie, whose bass playing brought the final missing piece. With the full lineup in place, Colourblind began to carve out their identity in the Montana music scene, playing venues like the Tune Up, Filling Station, and Armory Music Hall, leading up to the release of their debut EP on February 28th, 2025.

Funky bass lines groove beneath the surface, adding a pulse of urgency, while atmospheric guitar grit creates the sense of walking through an abandoned city, its stories still lingering in the air. Driven by powerful drums that feel like the heartbeat of a world on the edge, Salt & Shadow craft songs that are both anthemic and intimate.

Jacob Rountree Band
"The sound proposed by this artist, together with his band, is truly an incredible musical experience.
The first thing that struck me is Jacob Rountree‘s beautiful vocal timbre, a deep voice that manages to speak directly to the soul and heart of the listener and makes you believe the words of the lyrics.
We are faced with a great singer-songwriter who, together with his band, manages to entertain us with the quality of the musical arrangements and the proposed music.
This sound has the ability to transport you to a parallel universe in fact Jacob Rountree was able to find his music and has created a unique and ethereal musical limbo around his vision.
Absolutely recommended to everyone. Magical and Refined!" -Edgar Allan Poets

Colourblind
Indie Rock based in Bozeman, Montana
Sam was a guitarist going to school in Bozeman, Montana, when he crossed paths with Woody, another musician with a knack for songwriting and a love for the same records. What started as playing some covers together turned into bouncing ideas back and forth to write music of their own. Before long, they had enough songs for a (rough) set and decided to throw a garage show for some friends in town. That night laid the foundation for something bigger. Among the crammed garage audience was Cade, who was drawn to what the two kids were up to. After talking post-show, he joined as the drummer, solidifying their core lineup, and further developing the identity of Colourblind.
The band spent the next few months playing local gigs and refining their sound. The following summer, at one of their shows, they met Louie, whose bass playing brought the final missing piece. With the full lineup in place, Colourblind began to carve out their identity in the Montana music scene, playing venues like the Tune Up, Filling Station, and Armory Music Hall, leading up to the release of their debut EP on February 28th, 2025.

Sammy Brue
"Stories are all around us, and I’m listening to people even when they think I'm not," states Sammy Brue. "If I get to the emotion of it, I can find the words.”
Realism and storytelling are qualities that are prominent on I Am Nice, the 15-year-old Utah singer-songwriter's New West debut. The 12-song album—produced by Ben Tanner of Alabama Shakes and John Paul White of the Civil Wars—shows the young troubadour to be a timeless talent whose catchy compositions embody the sort of wisdom, empathy and insight that's usually associated with more experienced songwriters.
On such distinctive originals as "I Know," "Was I the Only One," "I Never Said" and "Control Freak," Brue demonstrates a rare knack for placing himself in the shoes of others, real or fictionalized, and writing melodically inventive, emotionally resonant stories about them. No wonder he's been hailed as an "Americana prodigy" by Rolling Stone and as a "wunderkind" by American Songwriter, as well as receiving early attention from The Wall Street Journal and The Fader, and from his local ABC TV station.
Blues Line
Seven veteran Bozeman musicians came together with the goal of creating a group that embodied the spirit and energy of the music they love. Since taking the stage together in 2021, they have played venues large and small, establishing themselves as a premier live act in Montana.
