MINT!
From The Garage To The Stage
Five friends who met in the pursuit of jams, were brought together through their genuine love of music. Throwing together improvised songs in a garage is how it all started; and thus, MINT! was born. Benn, Alex, Jeremiah, Trace, and Mark met in college and are now playing high-energy, progressive funk throughout southwestern Montana.

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.
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.

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.

Aija
Inspired by self discovery, inner transformation through trials and tribulations, Aija love's to mix beauty with darkness, melody with vulnerability and true authenticity within creating her music.
Her journey has been chaotic & challenging. But she has never given up on herself. Writing music is what keeps her sane, and is her best form of communication with herself and the world.
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.
Jesscy Dean
From Jesscy’s earliest memories, the gift of song has been in her heart. She can picture sitting on the foot of her mama's bed writing songs with a toy guitar before she could even read or write. Many favorite memories of her mother include melodies, from singing hymns with her and her grandma in church to serenading her with Willie Nelson from the kitchen table and finally soothing her with Alison Krauss during her last night on earth.
She has always believed that our burdens are lifted when we sing and feels such honor being able to share the gift she has been given with the world. Music is the most powerful language, as universal as a smile.

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!

Raven Rōshi
Raven Rōshi is an indie folk rock music project led by American singer songwriter Charles Wolf Drimal of Bozeman, Montana. Inspired by the mystique of the raven, the liberated mind of a Zen master, wild landscapes, a lineage of lovers, social renegades, mischievous mountain sages, and flamenco shredders.
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.

Branson Anderson
Singer-songwriter Branson Anderson hails from Logandale, Nevada, a tiny, sleepy, desert town dating back to the 1860s, best known as the home of the Clark County Fair and Rodeo. As a teen, Anderson started writing songs with dreams of rambling across the land as a traveling musician. In fact, he once ditched high school and took a two and a half day bus ride to Nashville with the sole plan of going to Third Man Records to meet Jack White. It didn’t quite pan out and fifteen hours later he was back on a bus headed home, but a love for the adventures of the road got into his blood on that trip.

Yet, his spirit finds itself at home outside the Black Hills of South Dakota, where the echoes of his ancestors resonate through the prairie.
Inspired by storytellers like Johnny Cash, George Strait and Jason Isbell, he carved a niche in the realm of Country and Americana music, blending the sounds of his Native heritage with tales of the human experience. For over 15 years, he has roamed the roads, sharing his soul-stirring compositions with audiences across the nation, playing hundreds of shows yearly.
