Montana Rose

 

Montana Rose plays American music, and they are good enough to pay attention to. Like most great American bands, they are steeped in blues, country, folk, roots rock, and all the many forms our music has taken, and of it they make new music.

 

Montana Rose is western music, and the west is where America does it’s best dreaming. Wallace Stegner said that “ the west is the Native Home of Hope…” and in their songs there are glances at the past and hope for the future. Broken hearts heal, legends never die, and it is worth it to go on.

 

Claudia Williams isn’t just a singer, she’s a sorceress, able to find phrasing and emphases which suit each song, Kenny Williams’ harmonies and driving bass propel, and with the triple threat of Mark Wittman on drums, Mark Dixon on congas, and Mike Beck on electric guitars, their “Western Beat” comes thru loud and clear.

 

Montana Rose, forged in the crucible of cowboy bars throughout the Rocky Mountain West, is arguably one of the top cowboy bar bands playing today. With eight recordings available world wide, and their songs playing on the radio in more than 30 countries, Montana Rose has come to embody the spirit of “Americana”. A harmonious union of the most recognizable genres of American music blended into a unique western style.

 

Montana Rose is an aggregation of musical ideals that is a culmination of a lifetime of living and playing music in Montana and the American West. The fulfillment of this musical dream allows them to be true to their artistic spirits, and this synergy of lifestyle and art is unmistakable in Montana Rose’s pure and simple sound. This sound has become highly evolved in the 20 years they have been playing music, and is ever changing. Their sound and the stories they tell are a direct reflection of the rhythm of life in the Big Sky Country.
