*****
Lee Calvin has been a songwriter for over 15 years. After shedding the martyrdom of being a "true artist", he has vowed that this time around nobody would take him too seriously, including himself. Lee writes music that is heartfelt and lyrically driven. He has fronted the popular Billings country band, Calvin and the Coal Cars for 5 years. He's an amazing story teller and uses his music to connect with audiences of all ages.
Jarret Kostrba is a talented instrumentalist and songwriter hailing from Red Lodge, Montana. His music spans genres including rock, jazz, and indie-folk. His songwriting gifts are matched by his vocal talents and unmatched mastery of stringed instruments. If you dig some of the new sounds coming out of the Indie-Folk/Americana scene, you'll love Jarret's music. For the past four years, Jarret has been the frontman of the popular Red Lodge band, Maxwell and the Head Change.
Chad Okrusch is a Butte, Montana-born singer-songwriter whose Americana, indie-folk, and alt-country music reflects the rugged beauty and rich heritage of his home state. Rooted in the hard-working mining town of Butte, his songs blend heartfelt storytelling with a soulful authenticity that resonates with audiences across the West. Chad has shared stages with renowned artists like Robert Earl Keen and Blake Shelton, performing at notable venues and festivals. Beyond his music, he is a professor, poet, and author, deeply connected to Montana's culture and community.
