We’re one week away from the most anticipated downtown festival of the summer – River City Roots Festival! Now in it’s 12th year, Roots Fest is not only a great place to enjoy some of the best in Americana, bluegrass and roots music, it’s also jam packed with everything you love about Missoula: exceptional arts […]
Trail Well Traveled – 8/18
Each Friday, in partnership with Montana Wilderness Association we will feature a new western Montana trail and then give you some helpful details and tips to get on your way!

Vinally Friday – 8/18
Most of us would attribute the relationship between music and political activism to the folk and rock of the 1960s. And while it may hold true that those musicians had great popular influence on the issues and constructs during that time, it is a misnomer to suggest that the 1960s were the peak of musical […]

New Tracks – 8/15

Vinally Friday – 8/11

New Tracks – 8/8
It’s sad but true: Addicted, diseased and dying artists make really good music. In what is perhaps the sickest Catch 22 of all artistic inspiration, we see it again and again – remember Warren Zevon’s last-days work in 2003? How about David Bowie’s parting gift, the album Black Star in 2016? Well, we’ve got another […]
