Mike Ott

This Thursday through Sunday, The Elks Lodge at 206 W. Galena in Uptown Butte is featuring some homegrown entertainment and a pair of fundraisers for a couple of fantastic local organizations along with Sunday Funday Bingo.

Mike Ott is one of Montana's most talented musicians, visual artists and magicians. His comedy and magic show is this Friday, 7pm at the Butte Elks.

Hundreds of live music fans representing every age category gathered Saturday night at the Butte Depot's outdoor concert area for an incredible evening of live rock that reunited a pair of legendary bands, showcased the entire history of another and got started with a pair of acts that are writing their own chapters in the long history of Butte rock bands.

Jeremy Scared was the kind of band that you will remember decades later. They looked different from other Butte bands. They played different. You could tell from the first note that the band members are incredibly talented individually, but the way they played as a unit is what set them apart. Yes, they were really good but they worked hard at getting really good. Their covers were more intricate and their originals? Untouchable. And now, decades later, they will be together again, at least for one night, at the Butte Rock Fest which will invade the Butte Depot outdoor amphitheater on the evening of Saturday, July 1.
