Tim Montana will make his much-anticipated musical return to the Mining City this Friday night and in true Tim Montana fashion, he is doing his part to give back to his town and his neighbors. Tim has teamed up with the Butte Arts Foundation and Mother Lode Theater along with Town Pump Food Stores of Montana to raise food, funds and awareness for Butte's Emergency Food Bank and Butte Rescue Mission.
Tim Montana is being considered for Grammy nomination in not one, but three categories, Best New Artist, Best Rock Song Performance for "Devil You Know" and Best Rock Album for "Savage".
For a guy who was less than an hour away from opening for two bands responsible for a big share of post-grunge 1990s and early 2000s hard rock, Tim Montana was relatively calm. No, make that incredibly calm. After all, no matter the size of the venue or the fame of the bands with whom he will share the stage, it was just another day at the office.
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.
