If Leonard Cohen, Robert Hunter, Townes Van Zandt, Walt Whitman, Robert Plant, and Chief Joseph wrote music together by campfire under the stars with a little sparkle in their eyes, it might sound like RAVEN RŌSHI – an original chill vibe with cathartic undertones.

"…no glitz or glamour, no shiny polish. He is an artist in the true sense of the word. A songwriter who sings with a grit in his voice, ..rooted in the tradition of Kris Kristofferson, Guy Clark, John Prine, Townes Van Zandt and more recently Jamey Johnson." ~ John Tumminello.

His songs cover miles - stretching from heartfelt to heartbreak to cinematic ghost stories; tied together by his earthy voice and seasoned song work.

The Waiting
The Waiting is one of America’s most electrifying roadhouse rock and roll bands. And, as the name might suggest, their specialty is celebrating the music of Tom Petty, including songs from the Heartbreakers repertoire, Petty’s solo work, and songs from the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys.
Since 2013, the band has thrilled diehard Petty fans and new converts alike throughout the American West. Whether they’re playing one of Tom Petty’s 38 songs to hit Billboard’s Rock Chart, a treasured deep cut, or a song from his work under the moniker, “Charlie T. Wilbury, Jr.” As one reviewer put it, “The Waiting plays the music that everybody knows and everybody loves with a fiery energy that electrifies crowds with their outstanding musicianship and a single-minded devotion to showing every person in the crowd a damn good time.”
Logan Dudding
A Live-Looping Multi-Instrumentalist (or a drummer trying to be a guitar player).
Logan Dudding has been performing around his lifelong home in southwest Montana before a lot of today’s classics were written. His solo performances feature just the acoustic guitar or his one-man band, offering to the world his blend of Americana Music. Logan’s set lists include a handful of original songs from his full-length album played in between classic covers and unknown gems spanning several decades. Logan garnered a local presence as a drummer/percussionist for several local music acts. His passion for music led to the guitar and writing which evolved to collaborating, composing, recording, and producing music. Logan has had different involvement from performance to production for the groups he has been apart which includes his solo album, Can’t Afford the Habit.
Logan’s original and collaborative music has been described by some as a glimpse into small, mountain-town life.

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.

Marcedes Carroll & Doc Elliot
Marcedes Carroll began singing at a young age & by fifteen she learned her first guitar chords. She became hooked & played nearly everyday, developing ambitions for performing. She began writing songs & performing at age nineteen around her college town Moscow, Idaho & her hometown Belgrade, Montana.
In 2013, Marcedes moved back to Belgrade & started performing in a classic rock band called Drink Me Pretty on rhythm guitar & vocals.
At this same time she started working for a new venue in town called Live from the Divide. By day she worked at a biomed company & by night at the studio; five minutes at her day job felt like ten hours while ten hours at the studio felt like five minutes. After years of getting up at 5am to work during the day to stay up until 1am at the studio, she decided to make a change.
Drink Me Pretty disbanded & Marcedes took on her passion for songwriting.
She made her first album in 2019, She's Pretty, recording the songs with all local talent at her home studio.
In 2021 she traveled the country, her & her dog Melody, touring through the high desert to the deep south, down to the Florida keys, back up to the Carolinas, eventually making her way back to Montana.
In 2023 she cut her second project & her first full length record at Bandcamp Recording Studio in Bozeman, Montana; again with all local talent & Austin Texas producer, Scott Davis. Her sound is best described as country, folk, singer-songwriter, pulling from 60's/70's influences such as Patsy Cline, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Willie Nelson, Glen Campbell & many more.

Ben Larson Band
Take a visit to Philipsburg, Montana and you will find a little town of 900 that is quirky, spooky, steeped in history and rough around the edges. Just like the town where they reside, Ben Larson Band bring to the stage a completely original sound that doesn’t quite fit in any one musical genre. With roots in Country/Western storytelling, bluegrass, US National Guard Brass band and a sugar high at an unsupervised daycare, Ben and the band combine their vastly different life experiences into original songs of daily life in modern rural Montana, the ghosts of Montana’s past and wry words of wisdom compiled over years of living outside and working with their hands. Be ready for family friendly singalongs and completely unexpected covers that will have your twisting your ear horns and politely asking for more!
The Dead & Down
The Dead & Down are an exploratory roots-rock band inspired as much by the vast landscapes and dramatic mountain ranges of their Montana home as they are by the myriad musical influences that weave through their sound. Based around the introspective songwriting and dusty vocals of frontman Taylor Burlage, the band navigates sonic trails between rust-flecked alt country and swampy rock ‘n’ roll, with detours through psychedelia and genre-bending experimentation. They have opened for the likes of Paul Cauthen, Futurebirds, and the Last Revel and have hit the stage at Under the Big Sky Music Festival, Red Ants Pants Music Festival and more. Their recently released sophomore album, No Broken Bones, displays the sound of a band hungry to find out what lies beyond the next ridge and only just beginning their journey.
“The Dead & Down have a sound that doesn't fit into one bin. They combine elements of Country, Americana, and Rock for a sonic experience that stays interesting. Their new song, “Switchbacks” has a solid country-rock feel, but the break in the middle is a lot more akin to prog rock. It's a combo that works!” - Bob Wall, KGVM Bozeman
“Alt-country, but on the moon––– and still so down to earth.” - The Pulp, Missoula

Justin Bigart
"Justin Bigart’s cinematic alternative rock is beautifully intertwined with the expansive landscapes and haunting sounds of his native Montana and the American West."
Justin got much of his early music education from his dad's classic rock record collection, his mom's love of country music & Casey Kasem's Top 40 radio. Music was a magic tonic that he was content to enjoy as a fan with no creative ambitions of his own. Thanks largely to his mom, the stereo was always playing a soundtrack to their days.
If vulnerability was the sun, he was happiest in the shade until a friend suggested he pick up a guitar and everything changed. The idea of making his own music was a lifeboat in a stormy sea. He was looking to reinvent after spending much of his life chasing someone else's dream. Looking to create. Looking to feel alive. Songwriting helped him push through and a new universe exploded.
His music is a reflection of what he loves & where he lives. Alternative rock heavily influenced by Americana, desert rock & gospel, written from the perspective of a dopamine addicted heathen in search of redemption.
He splits his time between the mountains of Bozeman, MT & the deserts of the Southwest.
Lena Rich & Jon DeGroot
Livingston singer/songwriter Lena Rich offers a sound that is inviting, ethereal and distinctly her own.

Kalyn Beasley
You don't get any more rural than Wyoming, if that's what you mean by country. Kalyn Beasley sees inspiration every direction he looks. Kalyn grew up at the doorstep of Yellowstone Park in the Rocky Mountains and he don't suppose he’s moving anywhere anytime soon. Kalyn writes his own songs to tell his own stories. As a musician, poet, adventurer and outdoorsman Kalyn’s goal is for you to find a little bit of yourself in the songs he sings and the stories he tells.
Jenna Greenwell
Jenna Greenwell is a storyteller with a guitar, weaving rich, earthy vocals through songs about love, loss, and the beauty tucked inside ordinary moments. Influenced by Americana heavyweights Lori McKenna, Jason Isbell, and Brandi Carlile, she has built a reputation for performances that stir hearts and sometimes draw tears, the good kind. Her debut album, Yellow Sweatshirt, arrived in 2024, establishing her as a songwriter with something worth saying and the voice to say it.
Originally from Northern Colorado, Jenna’s road has taken her from the bustling streets of New York City to the sunlit corners of Southern California, playing storied rooms like The Bitter End, CBGBs, and The River at Rancho Mirage. She stepped away from the spotlight for a season to raise three daughters and serve as an ordained pastor alongside her husband, leading worship and guiding a community in song.
Now rooted in Montana, Jenna has returned to her craft with a renewed fire, carrying the miles, the motherhood, and the hard-earned hope into every line. Whether on a festival stage or in a corner bar, her songs work a quiet magic, turning strangers into friends and friends into family.
She is a big fan of sunsets, banjos, and well-placed sarcasm.

Tyler John Kraehling
Hailing from the northeastern states, Tyler John Kraehling has been traveling through the country with eyes open, taking stock of the lives of the people who inhabit it. Drenched in the tradition of American troubadours, he tells stories that speak to the novelties and banalities of what it means to walk this earth. Living everywhere from Los Angeles, New York City, Idaho, Vermont, Texas and most recently Montana, he boasts a claim that he is in a unique company of travelers who are qualified to tell the stories they do, with the universe of detail they do. His fingerpicking styles range from the folk staples of John Prine and Townes Van Zandt to the country-blues of legends Furry Lewis, Taj Mahal and Chris Smither. Armed with songs that will make you feel the full spectrum of emotion, and with clothes and guitars that are mostly second-hand; his songs are anything but.
Kate Turner Band
Those familiar with Kate Turner and her music are celebrating her return to the stage–and she’s been busy - performing throughout Washington and Oregon. From Country to her new soulful sound with heartfelt lyrics, Kate Turner is back and stronger than ever!

Taylor Burlage
Born into a family of artists, it came as second nature to Taylor to write songs. Given a guitar at a young age he taught himself to play a few chords and then as a teenager began writing songs simply because it felt like the thing to do. After years of being a bedroom songwriter and guitar player, Taylor was launched rather unceremoniously into his first band and began to explore the power and possibility of playing for other people.
Over the years his songwriting has taken on a texture reflective of the mountains he grew up in, using their power and imagery to craft songs that navigate life, loss, and joys and heartbreak of the human condition. His debut album "I Might Be Gone" was released May 2023. He also fronts the Montana based Roots Rock outfit The Dead & Down.
BluesLine The Band
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.
Buffalo Burrows
Buff likes to describe his sound as Post Western. It’s equal parts the songwriting of Marty Robbins, Spaghetti Western orchestration of Ennio Morricone and the electronic architecture of Trent Reznor. Buff’s timeless western voice blazes a trail through a landscape of mountainous 808s, sweeping analog synths and home-brewed samples – alongside Buff’s trusty guitar, Nessie.

Jess Klemm
Raised on a buffalo ranch in northwest Kansas, Jess Klemm grew up surrounded by the wide-open plains and the sounds of Chris LeDoux on cassette. Summers were spent fixing fences with her siblings under the sweltering sun, always with music as a constant companion.
In 2014, Jess moved to Wyoming, trading the prairie for the mountains — a place that instantly felt like home. She began performing in 2016 at Cassie’s Supper Club in Cody and never looked back, spending over eight years sharing her music across the state.
Now based in Texas and pursuing music full time, Jess brings heartfelt lyrics, rich vocals, and Western roots to every stage she steps on.
