I’m an 18 year old student in Missoula looking for a group of rockin’ guys/gals that know how to jam. I’ve been playing for roughly 10 years, and am used to playing for large venues and having a great time doing it. My playing style is mostly Hard Rock, but I have dabbled in some Metal, and love both Progressive Rock and Metal. I have also won many awards for my Jazz playing as well. My current drumset is an intermediate electric one, for portability and the ability to fit it in my dorm room. I also have an acoustic set back home in Helena that I can use for live gigs if required. Please give me a call, and I’d love to meet with you!

Ph#: 406-920-1149 Send EmailAnna McGary
Anna is a twenty year old student who attends the University of Montana in Missoula. She is majoring in pharmacy. The four songs on her eponymous titled CD, “Anna McGary”, were written during this past year and recorded here in Bozeman during sessions at Peak Recording and Sound. Gil Stober engineered the recording sessions. Brian Crumrine played percussion, and Eddie T. plays bass guitar on three of the four tracks.
Today it is fashionable to categorize music which doesn’t fit into pop, R&B, or Rock genres by calling it “alternative”. Anna McGary’s music consists of fresh and well crafted tunes with a memorable voice, delivered with impeccable diction. What a treat to be able to follow the storylines in a song upon first hearing! In “Seven Years”, a young woman finally emerges from the fog of a broken relationship. “Lights” is an uptempo rocker which informs of settling for the love at hand, which seems better than nothing:
“But the nights are cold and windy, and it feels so good to be / In your arms when the sun goes down, and in your arms to see… / The morning light…”
The raucous guitar solo presages some red hot live performances to come from this talented young player.
“A Simple Turn” has an insistent guitar line, but the driving bassline is played by Anna herself. A 30 year old country band bass player who hear the track for the first time remarked, “I’ve been playing bass for 15 years and I can’t sound like THAT!”
“Alright” could become a signature tune for this young virtuoso. The song is triadic, with a pair of verses in front of a “Blackbird-like” bridge that takes us to a third verse. The song virtually restarts, and Anna McGary reels in our hearts with an achingly lovely vocal tone.
Anna’s sound is musically mature and captures all moods of life. She is anxiously looking forward to completing her first full-length album this winter. Check her out and see show dates at www.myspace.com/annamcgary.
The Anna McGary CD is available at Hastings and Borders for $5.99.

Ph#: 406-599-9145 Send EmailRawley Heimer
Eastman School of Music trained jazz and classical guitarist, 23 years old, 15 years experience, currently working at MSU and receiving Master’s in Economics. Performed in jazz groups and solo jazz in NY and DC, and have led 2 stable and mildly successful rock groups in the past.
Prefer to start another rock band. Have a decent-sized original catalog that allows players the chance to be creative and add their own musical stamp to melodic, yet untraditional harmonies and rhythms. Influences: Mars Volta, Trail of Dead or any other Texas rock powerful enough to strike an existentialist fear into audiences, the heavier Radiohead tunes, Artic Monkeys, Talking Heads, Sigur Ros, The Roots. But I’m also more than happy to play some jazz, preferably the modal styles of Shorter and Trane—anything with a McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones backbone—or Mahavishnu, Scofield, avant Miles, and Wes.
Solid baritone, prefer backup vocals.
Get in touch.
