Gary Robinson

Sometimes life makes no sense especially when someone you know and love loses theirs. This week, Butte lost a musician, a friend and a brother when Gary Robinson passed away suddenly.

As the summer comes to a close, the organizers of this summer's Music on Main series of Thursday evening celebrations in Uptown Butte obviously planned on turning up the heat a little bit as the weather cools down. This week it is veteran Butte band F.O.G. on the big stage and anyone who has seen them at previous Music on Main events knows that this is definitely their type of crowd. F.O.G. is Toby Schelin and Dennis Weis on guitars, Mark James on bass and Gary Robinson on drums will all four on vocals. If you're hungry for good food and great music, this Thursday will have both.

Tomorrow's Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Butte's "Rhythm and Brews" Festival is going to be a good one. Things get underway at the Original Mineyard with the car show with registration at 10am. Gates open at noon with food trucks, beverages, kids' activities and lots of fun. Music will fire up at 1pm on the big stage. Let's take a look at this year's performers.
