Wise River Club

In the heart of Montana, music and community came together for an unforgettable night of classic rock and heartwarming support.

It's no surprise how important his home state is to Tim Montana. You need not look further than his very name. Montana is in his music, his image, and his business ventures. If you want to see what Tim Montana means to his home state, you need look no further than the Montana Department of Commerce's Governor's Conference on Tourism where Tim just took home an incredible but very justified award.

Easter Sunday is a great time for breakfast with the family and is one of the busiest mornings of the year for Butte restaurants. Looking to take part? Here are some places you'll find ready to serve you brunch in and around Butte this Easter Sunday.

To be honest, the prime rib or chicken cordon bleu along with a beautiful Montana spring weekend would be enough to get most folks off the couch and on the road for the short drive to the Wise River Club, but we'll have more on that in a minute. The big draw is that the boss man, Tim Montana will be back in town, guitar in hand, with his good friend and right-hand man Kyle Rife right beside him performing the songs they made famous and sharing the events, memories and emotions that inspired them.

The latest venture is not music, it is not real estate or business and it is not something that is for the faint of heart, either. Tim and Billy have something spicy brewing up and, as the kids say, it's the bomb dot com. Almost literally.

We've been saying for months that 2024 has been absolutely huge for Tim Montana. It's been one thing after another, with each huge milestone seemingly topping the one before. There was that huge date with Creed in September in Bridgeport, Conneticut. You know, the week after he sang the National Anthem at a Pittsburgh Steelers game. He got the gig as the opener for Myles Kennedy's upcoming tour. He was considered for a Grammy Nomination. He was recognized by Billboard Magazine as one of the most-played rock artists of the year. We know, we know. You've heard this before. Hell, we've said this many times before. But Tim Montana has done it again.

Behind hits such as the title track and top-tens "Die Today" and "Devil You Know" and support by, again, relentless touring with bands such as Seether, Creed, Halestorm and Skillet and work with legends such as Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains, Tim has found himself in an incredible year-end Top 5.

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.
