Montana Homegrown Radio is back from a short hiatus with a brand new episode! Singer/songwriter Dave Brinker visited the studio recently in promotion of his debut EP, Made Out West, whose first single, “Country Road,” is available onSpotify and iTunes now.
Singing and writing country music has become a true passion for the Oregon native. Currently residing in Bozeman, he’s an avid member of West Coast Songwriters and Nashville Songwriters Association International. From songwriter’s nights to open mics and beyond, Brinker loves being on both sides of the mic playing his songs and enjoying others’ music. The art of putting remarkable lyrics to remarkable music and creating a song that tells a story fuels his desire.
Back in early fall of 2017, resident musician Dirk Alan introduced Bozemanites to a great new way to experience local talent. Montana Homegrown Radio is an online independent musician showcase featuring a different area act every week. Presented much like a live broadcast radio show, each hosted episode includes an interview component, discussion, and of course – live music!
Featured artists have included Dos Mayos, Don Elliott, The Significant Figures, Jeff Peterson, The Wind and the Willows, Those Guys, The Dirt Farmers, Christopher Alexander, Quenby Iandiorio, Bridger Creek Boys, The Wind Drifters, Red Glow Buffalo, Kate & the AlleyKats, and Edis Kittrell. Though these artists’ episodes have already “aired,” previous editions are always available for your listening pleasure 24/7.
Montana Homegrown Radio is hosted by Dirk Alan, a native Montanan who’s been in the music business for the last 40 years in multiple capacities. With a passion for music and helping his fellow musicians, Dirk provides a very laid back, fun environment so radio guests can be as comfortable and spontaneous as possible.
Montana Homegrown Radio serves as a promotional space for local talent and their many art forms – and they want YOU! Any musician with a story to tell and a song to sing is encouraged to apply for a guest spot on the podcast.
