tim montana

I think in my last article I mentioned the incredible week that Tim Montana is having. Thankfully I didn't say anything like "he'll never top this one". Because I have seen what Tim Montana is capable of. Or at least I thought I did. But even by Tim Montana's standards, this one is big.

It's just like Tim Montana to do something like this. In between opening dates with heavyweights Creed and Myles Kennedy, Tim has managed to remember his hometown with a date at Butte's historic Mother Lode Theater this November.

Yesterday I put up an article about Tim Montana being selected as an opener for the huge "Summer of '99" Tour's date this Monday evening in Bridgeport, Conneticut. The tour is headlined by 90's rock behemoths, Creed, and has been selling out arenes and amphitheaters since they hit the road late last Spring. A week ago, I had the absolute pleasure of attending their concert in Dallas, TX, and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. For any artist or band, this spot is a big damn deal.

Things just continue to roll for Tim Montana. On Monday, September 30th, Tim will be on the bill with two of the late 1990s and early 2000s biggest bands, Creed and Tonic, as the "Summer of 99" Tour hits the Hartford Healthcare Ampitheater in Bridgeport, Conneticut.

If you missed the big concert and the stunt riding events in Uptown Butte on Thursday night, don't worry- there is more to follow as Tim Montana and Colt Anderson and crew are rocking Butte, Montana.

Colt Anderson's Dream Big Foundation has set the dates and locations for the Dream Big Montana Experience 2024, and it is safe to say that Uptown Butte will be rocking on Thursday and Friday, June 27th and 28th with everything from a Tim Montana concert to a football skills camp.

Tim Montana is no stranger to the road, even before he became a bona fide rock star. Since he started in the business, it was not uncommon for Tim and his band to play in Nashville on a Thursday, play a show in Montana on Saturday and somehow make it back to the East Coast for events early the following week. Following his foray into hard rock music and the success of the first three singles from his upcoming CD release, "Savage," it should come as little surprise that Tim follows the same principle when touring the Treasure State these days, just on a smaller scale.

"Die Today" could be Tim's most powerful single yet. It's hook pulls you right in, knocks you out with it's main riff and then goes right into the song's introspective and heartfelt lyrics. This could very well be Tim's best rock song yet. But we will have to wait until the album "Savage" is released later this summer. If you can't wait until then, you'll probably get a heapin' helping of new music when he performs in Sidney, Montana on June 8th.

You certainly cannot say that Tim Montana has not worked hard over the course of his career. I got to know Tim back when he was pushing his first single, "Butte, America" way back in 2007 and he was working hard then as he came to our radio stations personally and convinced us to give the song a few spins on the local airwaves. He had recently returned from school in California where he had studied under the legendary Johnny Hiland, which while impressive, was just the tip of the iceberg.

We can definitely chalk this one up in our weird and kinda creepy category. According to a recent post in the Butte 411 Facebook group, a man with an axe showed up at the Wise River Club late Tuesday night and attempted to gain entry into the cafe and bar area. But what makes this stand out is that the dude was carrying an axe.
