Music and Radio are two of my biggest passions and I am lucky to be able to combine both in my profession.

Butte Miners win State Championship. Now they need your help to get to Regionals.
After the weekend they had, the Butte Miners may very well have to change the name of their home field to Four or even Five Legends Staduim.  Behind the solid pitching of tournament MVP Kenley Leary and the hotter-than-the-weather-he-was-playing-in hitting of Aidan Lee, the Butte Miners won their first State Championship since the Jim Kello-led team of 69 summers ago. ...
Monster Trucks to Roar Friday and Saturday at the Rodeo Grounds
From Colt Anderson's "Dream Big" extravaganza last month to the Montana Folk Festival's successful run in early July, one summer event is coming to Butte that makes a different kind of roar.  The roars of Monster Trucks and all of the car-crushing revelry that comes with them will be on full display this Friday and Saturday at the Butte Vigilante Rodeo Grounds as the Monster Truck Nitro
