Montana Homegrown back with pair of mid-pandemic shows
Regional musician showcase Montana Homegrown Radio has returned after an extended hiatus with some fresh talent and an updated website!
The first of the new shows features local icon Neil Filo Beddow. He plays original folk rock for the soul, and describes his guitar style as the “West Dakota stutter.” His lyrically scrambled iambic pentameter can be politically bent, spiritually seeking, and tongue-in-cheek humorous with just a twist of serious.
Montana Homegrown also tapped The Road Agents for a studio performance last month. Featuring the stylings of Jeff Peterson and Justin Ringsak, the band plays acoustic rock n’ roll. They’re a guitar and mandolin duo people can groove to! Jeff and Justin bring danceable, original songs about firewood, larceny, and resolve. The Road Agents’ debut EP, Dreams of Stingrays, Roadrunners, and Hangovers is available now.
Hosted by local musician Dirk Alan, Montana Homegrown Radio is an online independent musician showcase featuring different area acts with every episode. Presented much like a live broadcast radio show, each hosted episode includes an interview component, discussion, and of course – live music!
Montana Homegrown 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.
