In that time\, the venerated duo have built a legacy out of bringing honesty\, humility and vulnerability to the forefront of their music\, continually challenging themselves to evolve without straying too far from their roots. Slug has proven masterful at storytelling and writing compelling narratives\, leaving a trail of his own influence while paying homage to the rappers and songwriters that helped shape him. Ant has skillfully molded the soundtracks with inspiration from soul\, funk\, rock\, reggae\, and the wizardry of hip-hop’s pioneering DJ’s and producers\, creating his own trademark sounds while providing the pulse for songs about life\, love\, stress and setbacks. At its essence\, Atmosphere has been a musical shepherd\, and with each new album comes a new journey as they guide generations of listeners through this thing called life. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Sage FrancisSage Francis is a forefather of the indie rap movement\, the CEO of Strange Famous Records\, and is widely considered one of our generation’s greatest lyricists. His career derives mainly from gifted wordplay which creates vivid narratives to instigate as well as inspire. There’s a lot more to it\, but who has time for all that during times like these? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout R.A. the Rugged ManR.A. The Rugged Man is one of the most fascinating figures in hip-hop history. His career spans decades\, and defies simple narratives. The Rugged Man has been an up-and-coming star\, an industry outcast banished and forgotten\, an underground cult hero\, an independent success story\, and an influential master of the art form. He can obliterate rappers with ferocious battle rhymes\, craft heartfelt personal songs fans can relate to\, offend sensitive listeners with shocking vulgarity\, challenge corrupt politicians and corporations\, paint pictures with captivating storytelling\, and deliver jaw-dropping flows that prove his lyrical skills are unmatched. He’s also worked with a staggering number of hip-hop’s most respected artists\, including legends like The Notorious B.I.G.\, Wu-Tang\, Tech N9ne\, Rakim\, Mobb Deep\, Talib Kweli\, Kool G Rap\, Public Enemy\, Brother Ali\, and many more. And while others struggle to maintain a foothold in the ever-changing rap landscape\, R.A. The Rugged Man is the rare artist who has become more relevant with time\, with each new album more compelling than the last. \n\n\n\nOriginally from Long Island’s Suffolk County\, R.A. was raised by his father\, a Vietnam veteran whose exposure to Agent Orange left two of R.A.’s siblings with severe disabilities. After building a reputation as one of the most talented unsigned MCs on the scene\, he sparked a bidding war between several major labels. R.A. eventually signed to Jive Records\, but his outspoken defiance and reckless behavior spelled the end of that deal and left him banned from venues\, labels\, and recording studios. The Rugged Man re-emerged in the late 90s\, pioneering the indie rap hustle by pressing up his own 12” singles and contributing to compilations from the celebrated Rawkus Records. He earned a Gold record for his work on the WWE Aggression album\, and his music was featured on the video game Tony Hawk’s Underground\, which sold millions of copies. \n\n\n\nR.A. then unleashed his seminal independent album Die\, Rugged Man\, Die\, along with the critically acclaimed compilation Legendary Classics. The latter included show-stealing collaborations and many of the storied tracks that fueled his rise\, including the Jedi Mind Tricks song “Uncommon Valor”\, on which the Rugged Man delivers what is widely recognized as one of the greatest verses in rap history. R.A. has also made his mark in journalism and film. He’s interviewed Academy Award winning filmmakers and world boxing champions for outlets like Complex and Vibe\, and worked as a screenwriter and director\, notably writing and producing the cult classic Bad Biology. By the time his last album Legends Never Die debuted at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart\, R.A. was thoroughly established as an independent hip-hop icon\, playing sold-out shows across the world and drawing widespread praise for his undeniable contributions to the culture. \n\n\n\nNow\, R.A. The Rugged Man is back with All My Heroes Are Dead\, a brand new album that stands as his best work to date. “So many of the greats are gone\, and the legends who made it out alive are cast aside\,” R.A. says. “Society left our heroes and their culture for dead. We have to dig that greatness out of its grave\, and bring it back with an angry vengeance.” While Legends Never Die was dedicated to the memory of his father\, All My Heroes Are Dead is R.A.’s first album since becoming a father of two himself. “When you have children\, that’s a whole other level of joy and pain and emotion\,” he describes. “It opens whole entire universes with the pen.” The music covers a wide range of moods\, and transcends hip-hop cliches. “I didn’t want to make a whole album of just destroying rappers and rapping better than everyone.” the Rugged Man explains. “There’s a lot of places my albums take you\, and there’s way more storytelling on this one. I love to bring listeners into different worlds.” Now available worldwide\, All My Heroes Are Dead features an all-star cast of hip-hop heavyweights\, including Chuck D\, Slug of Atmosphere\, Ghostface Killah\, Immortal Technique\, Vinnie Paz\, Ice-T\, M.O.P.\, Kool G Rap\, DJ Jazzy Jeff\, Onyx\, Brand Nubian\, Chris Rivers\, Inspectah Deck\, A-F-R-O\, Masta Killa\, and more. The highly-anticipated album showcases the full scope of R.A. The Rugged Man’s considerable talent\, making it a powerful statement from an unforgettable artist. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Kool KeithAfter single-handedly redefining “warped” as the mind and mouth behind the Bronx-based Ultramagnetic MC’s\, Keith Thornton — aka Kool Keith\, Big Willie Smith\, Dr. Octagon\, Dr. Dooom\, and Tashan Dorrsett\, among other personas — headed for the outer reaches of the stratosphere with a variety of solo projects. Keith’s lyrical thematics remained as free-flowing here as they ever were with the N.Y.C. trio\, connecting up complex meters with fierce\, layers-deep metaphors and veiled criticisms of those who “water down the sound that comes from the ghetto.” His own debut single\, “Earth People” by Dr. Octagon\, was quietly released in late 1995 on the San Francisco-based Bulk Recordings\, and the track spread like wildfire through the hip-hop underground\, as did the subsequent self-titled full-length released the following year. \n\n\n\nDr. OctagonecologystFeaturing internationally renowned DJ Q-Bert (of Invisibl Skratch Piklz) on turntables\, as well as the Automator and DJ Shadow behind the boards\, Dr. Octagon’s left-field fusion of sound collage\, fierce turntable work\, and bizarre\, impressionistic rapping found audiences in the most unlikely of places\, from hardcore hip-hop heads to jaded rock critics. Although a somewhat sophomoric preoccupation with body parts and scatology tended to dominate the album\, Keith’s complex weave of associations and shifting references is quite often amazing in its intricacy. The record found its way to the U.K.-based abstract hip-hop imprint Mo’Wax (for whom Shadow also recorded) in mid-1996\, and was licensed by the label for European release. Mo’Wax also released a DJ-friendly instrumental version of the album titled\, appropriately\, The Instrumentalyst.First Come\, First Served \n\n\n\nThe widespread popularity of the album eventually landed Keith at DreamWorks in 1997. The label gave Dr. Octagon (retitled Dr. Octagonecologyst) its third release mid-year\, adding a number of bonus cuts. In early 1999\, however\, Keith’s alter ego Dr. Dooom unfortunately “killed off” Dr. Octagon on the opening track of First Come\, First Served (released on Thornton’s own Funky Ass label). Kool Keith signed to Ruffhouse/MCA for his second album under that alias\, 1999’s Black Elvis/Lost in Space. Records released as Kool Keith followed in 2000 (Matthew) and 2001 (Spankmaster)\, while the 2002 collaboration Gene appeared as KHM (Kool Keith plus H-Bomb and Marc Live). His next project was a four-rapper group named Thee Undatakerz with Keith taking on a new persona\, Reverend Tom. Kool Keith Presents Thee Undatakerz hit the streets in May 2004. Keeping busy\, Keith released Diesel Truckers in August of the same year with old friend/producer KutMasta Kurt.Official Space Tape \n\n\n\nAs if 2004 hadn’t been filled with enough Kool Keith releases\, some truly oddball ones started to appear that year. The Official Space Tape borrowed from previous releases to create the ultimate Keith mixtape; the R&B-leaning Personal Album was released in a limited edition of 500 and with a high price tag; plus the Real Talk label issued Dr. Octagon\, Pt. 2\, an unauthorized release that had little to do with the original and was quickly pulled from the shelves by court order. The next year was much calmer\, with the Global Enlightenment\, Pt. 1 DVD released at the beginning of the year\, followed by Lost Masters\, Vol. 2 in the summer. Nogatco Rd. from 2006 introduced a new character\, Mr. Nogatco (“Octagon” backwards). The UFO-obsessed album was a collaboration with producer Iz-Real. The two-CD Collabs Tape compilation and The Return of Dr. Octagon followed soon after.The Best Kept Secret \n\n\n\nIn early 2007\, Keith was part of an Ultramagnetic MC’s reunion that yielded Best Kept Secret. Tashan Dorrsett\, another concept-driven release from Keith\, was released in 2009 with the remix album The Legend of Tashan Dorrsett following in 2011. His 2012 album\, Love and Danger\, hinted at retirement with songs like “Goodbye Rap\,” but he was still in business in 2013\, making a guest appearance on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs album Mosquito. In 2015 he collaborated with L’Orange and received co-billing with the producer on their album Time? Astonishing! He also collaborated with Ray West for an album titled A Couple of Slices\, which was released as a standard LP as well as a limited deluxe edition packaged in a pizza box with a bonus 7″ and cassette. A third Tashan Dorrsett album\, The Preacher\, as well as Feature Magnetic\, which featured guest appearances by MF Doom\, Godfather Don\, Sadat X\, and others\, arrived in 2016. Keith revived Dr. Octagon two years later with Moosebumps: An Exploration into Modern Day Horripilation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Mr. DibbsBrad Forste\,better known as Mr. Dibbs\, is a DJ and hip hop producer. The founder of the turntablist collective 1200 Hobos\, he has also appeared on numerous underground hip hop records as producer or DJ as well as releasing a number of solo works. \n\n\n\nBorn in Cincinnati\, Ohio\, Forste was introduced to DJing around 1985\, when he saw Grandmaster Flash performing on the syndicated light news/entertainment show PM Magazine\, but “didn’t really understand what he did”. \n\n\n\nAfter watching an MTV broadcast of Grand Mixer DXT performing with Herbie Hancock on the latter’s 1980 single “Rockit”\, he learned the hand motions and began to learn scratching himself. He estimates that he spent six months “getting the hang of” scratching\, subsequently spending two years “cutting and scratching to whatever was on TV” to practice. \n\n\n\nDibbs formed his own turntablist crew\, the 1200 Hobos\, in the early 1990s. The crew’s rotating line-up has included Buck 65\, Adeem\, Sixtoo\, Doseone\, Jel\, DJ Abilities\, Adverse\, and DJ Signify among others\, and at its largest numbered 23 members. \n\n\n\nThey have released two mixtapes.In addition to the 1200 Hobos\, Mr. Dibbs has also been on-off touring DJ for Minneapolis hip hop group Atmosphere (though never an official member) and\, with anticon.’s Doseone and Jel\, a member of the group Presage\, who released one album\, Outer Perimeter\, in 1998. \n\n\n\nMr. Dibbs’ “Turntable Hardcore” series of releases was notable for its genre-straddling approach\, blending a wide variety of styles along with more usual hip hop turntablism.In 1996\, Forste teamed up with graffiti magazine Scribble to put on the first Scribble Jam event as a promotion for the magazine’s launch. \n\n\n\nThe event has since become America’s largest hip hop festival\, with separate competitions for rapping\, DJing\, graffiti\, b-boying and beatboxing; its past participants and guests have included such names as Eminem\, Big Daddy Kane\, Masta Ace\, Juice\, Prince Paul\, Hi-Tek\, Rhymefest\, Sage Francis\, El-P\, Cage\, Doseone\, Atmosphere\, Buck 65 and Mr. \n\n\n\nDibbs himself.Mr. Dibbs is the founder and owner of his own label\, Self Core Records.Mr. Dibbs is now the tour DJ for rapper El-P.

SUMMARY:Montana Repertory Theatre "Can't Drink Salt Water" with UM School of Theatre & Dance at UM Montana Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Montana Repertory Theatre presents the world premiere of Kendra Mylnechuk Potter’s “Can’t Drink Salt Water” with the UM School of Theatre & Dance in the Montana Theatre with performances from Saturday\, February 14 through Sunday\, February 22\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors @ 30 minutes before show time \n\n\n\nWith transformative support from The Roy Cockrum Foundation\, and in partnership with UM School of Theatre and Dance\, Montana Repertory Theatre presents the world premiere of Kendra Mylnechuk Potter’s Can’t Drink Salt Water. The opening night of this gripping new play will take place Saturday\, February 14\, 2026 in the Montana Theatre on the UM Campus (PARTV Building)\, with eight additional performances following\, through February 22. \n\n\n\nJuxtaposing a mother’s relentless search for her missing daughter with the journey of a young woman newly arrived at Bethel House\, an evangelical shelter for victims of sex trafficking\, this timely story weaves together Native identity\, maternal grief\, contemporary religious faith\, humor\, and a call to action. The production showcases professional Indigenous talent from across the country\, including cast members Allison Hicks\, Jennifer Rader\, Serenity Mariana\, and Bradley Lewis\, costumes by Asa Benally\, lighting design by Emma Deane\, sound design by Rory Stitt\, and mask design and creation by Cannupa Hanska Luger. As a co-production\, it showcases UM student actors\, designers\, and crew alongside the professionals. The cast includes students Shadie Wallette\, who previously performed in the 2023 staged reading\, and Octavio Jimenez\, who has toured the state over the past year with State of Mind\, a collaboration between The Rep and the University of Montana Co-Lab for Civic Imagination. UM Students in the crew include Ronnie Avansino as the Props Designer\, Rae Scott as the Assistant Stage Manager\, and Aaron Prati as the Assistant Lighting Designer. The playwright\, Kendra Mylnechuk Potter\, is a University of Montana alum\, and is based in Missoula. \n\n\n\n“I am humbled to have the opportunity to collaborate with so many artists in this meaningful way. And for the work to get to live on this particular stage where I first worked over 20 years ago as a student\, my “home stage” as it were\, is a straight up dream\,” Potter said. “The caliber of work – soup to nuts – from designers through performers\, is just such a treat for our town to get to share in\, and getting to mingle seasoned professionals at the top of their craft while highlighting the talent here in town with that of our UM student artists is a joy that brings this experience additional heart. My sincere hope is that we are able to provide a theatrical experience that feels like a useful contribution to the issues we seek to address: Missing and Murdered Indigenous People\, community care\, ecosystems\, and seeing what (and who) has been here all along.” \n\n\n\n“The School of Theatre and Dance is proud to partner with Montana Repertory Theatre to tell this vital story. We are so grateful to the Native artists\, The Roy Cockrum Foundation\, and to all involved for sharing their artistry\, talents and resources with our students and we look forward to welcoming audiences to the Montana Theatre to see Can’t Drink Salt Water\,” said Bernadette Sweeney\, Director of UM School of Theatre and Dance. \n\n\n\n This project began in 2019 with the idea to commission an original work from an Indigenous artist\, grounded in The Rep’s action-oriented Land Acknowledgement: “Montana Repertory Theatre acknowledges that we are in the aboriginal territories of the Salish and Kalispel people. We also acknowledge the privilege of gathering on this land to share stories. We pledge to always hold a place on our stages for the stories of this land and of its first peoples.” The original commission was supported by the Warren Miller Performing Arts Center in Big Sky\, Montana\, and this story was chosen by a nationwide team of Indigenous artists\, including Lily Gladstone\, DeLanna Studi\, Madeline Sayet\, and Andre Bouchard. \n\n\n\n“The Warren Miller Performing Arts Center (WMPAC) is thrilled to see the next phase of Can’t Drink Salt Water coming to life in Missoula this spring. Any chance we can get to help support new\, adventurous work like the piece that Kendra Mylnechuk Potter has created\, we’re fully on board\, especially when it comes to cultural realities that authentically embody lived experiences here in Montana\,” said John Zirkle\, Executive Director / Artistic Director at WMPAC. \n\n\n\nThis production is supported by a generous grant from The Roy Cockrum Foundation. Founded in 2014 by Roy Cockrum and Benita Hofstetter Koman with winnings from Mr. Cockrum’s Powerball lottery jackpot\, the Foundation’s mission is to award grants to support world-class performing arts projects in not-for-profit professional theatres throughout America. Since 2014\, 76 American theaters and performing arts organizations have received major grants from the Foundation. Inspiration for its mission derives from a Camus quote:“Without culture\, and the relative freedom it implies\, society\, even when perfect\, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.” ― Albert Camus\, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays.This performance includes mature themes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPurchase Tickets LINK

SUMMARY:"Kinship Medicine" author Wendy Johnson\, MD\, MPH in conversation with Robin McLean at Fact & Fiction
DESCRIPTION:“Kinship Medicine” author Wendy Johnson\, MD\, MPH will be in conversation with Robin McLean at Fact & Fiction in Downtown Missoula at 7:00 pm Thursday\, February 19\n\n\n\n\n\nKINSHIP MEDICINE: Cultivating Interdependence to Heal the Earth and Ourselves is based in the premise that our well-being is rooted in relationships and connection–with each other and the natural world. Western medicine sees our bodies as machines to be repaired\, but a more apt metaphor would be a garden\, we are a part of nature. Your body itself is an ecosystem\, existing inside progressively larger ecosystems until we consider the whole earth itself. We cannot be truly healthy when those ecosystems are sick and dying. Our modern way of living in most of the Western World is incompatible with maintaining the healthy ecosystems on which we depend. KINSHIP MEDICINE is aimed at raising awareness of the deep connection between our well being and the health of the natural world. \n\n\n\nDr. Wendy Johnson is a family physician\, public health professor\, activist and writer who has spent her life advocating for a world where everyone can live long lives in equitable communities. Her career includes stints scaling up HIV treatment in Mozambique\, overseeing and urban health department\, and most recently\, directing a community clinic in Santa Fe. She has a Master of Public Health from Johns Hopkins and hold faculty appointments at the University of Washington and the Universtiy of New Mexico. She currently practices family and addiction medicine in rural Northern New Mexico with El Centro Family Health. Dr. Johnson has been a vocal activist on many progressive issues locally and globally and is a two time TEDx speaker. \n\n\n\nRobin McLean worked as a lawyer and then a potter in the woods of Alaska before turning to writing. Her first story collection Reptile House won the BOA Editions Fiction Prize\, was twice a finalist for the Flannery O’Connor Prize\, and was noted as a best book of 2015 in Paris Review. Her debut novel Pity the Beast was published Nov. 2o21 by And Other Stories was noted as a best book of fiction of the year in such outlets as The Guardian\, Wall Street Journal\, White Review\, and long-listed for the Reading the West Prize. It was a recommended paperback in the NYTimes in Nov 2022. Her second story collection\, Get’em Young\, Treat’em Tough\, Tell’em Nothing was published by And Other Stories in Oct. 2022\, was an Editors’ Choice in the NY Times\, and was longlisted for the 2022 Republic of Consciousness Prize.

DESCRIPTION:Montana Repertory Theatre presents the world premiere of Kendra Mylnechuk Potter’s “Can’t Drink Salt Water” with the UM School of Theatre & Dance in the Montana Theatre with performances from Saturday\, February 14 through Sunday\, February 22\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors @ 30 minutes before show time \n\n\n\nWith transformative support from The Roy Cockrum Foundation\, and in partnership with UM School of Theatre and Dance\, Montana Repertory Theatre presents the world premiere of Kendra Mylnechuk Potter’s Can’t Drink Salt Water. The opening night of this gripping new play will take place Saturday\, February 14\, 2026 in the Montana Theatre on the UM Campus (PARTV Building)\, with eight additional performances following\, through February 22. \n\n\n\nJuxtaposing a mother’s relentless search for her missing daughter with the journey of a young woman newly arrived at Bethel House\, an evangelical shelter for victims of sex trafficking\, this timely story weaves together Native identity\, maternal grief\, contemporary religious faith\, humor\, and a call to action. The production showcases professional Indigenous talent from across the country\, including cast members Allison Hicks\, Jennifer Rader\, Serenity Mariana\, and Bradley Lewis\, costumes by Asa Benally\, lighting design by Emma Deane\, sound design by Rory Stitt\, and mask design and creation by Cannupa Hanska Luger. As a co-production\, it showcases UM student actors\, designers\, and crew alongside the professionals. The cast includes students Shadie Wallette\, who previously performed in the 2023 staged reading\, and Octavio Jimenez\, who has toured the state over the past year with State of Mind\, a collaboration between The Rep and the University of Montana Co-Lab for Civic Imagination. UM Students in the crew include Ronnie Avansino as the Props Designer\, Rae Scott as the Assistant Stage Manager\, and Aaron Prati as the Assistant Lighting Designer. The playwright\, Kendra Mylnechuk Potter\, is a University of Montana alum\, and is based in Missoula. \n\n\n\n“I am humbled to have the opportunity to collaborate with so many artists in this meaningful way. And for the work to get to live on this particular stage where I first worked over 20 years ago as a student\, my “home stage” as it were\, is a straight up dream\,” Potter said. “The caliber of work – soup to nuts – from designers through performers\, is just such a treat for our town to get to share in\, and getting to mingle seasoned professionals at the top of their craft while highlighting the talent here in town with that of our UM student artists is a joy that brings this experience additional heart. My sincere hope is that we are able to provide a theatrical experience that feels like a useful contribution to the issues we seek to address: Missing and Murdered Indigenous People\, community care\, ecosystems\, and seeing what (and who) has been here all along.” \n\n\n\n“The School of Theatre and Dance is proud to partner with Montana Repertory Theatre to tell this vital story. We are so grateful to the Native artists\, The Roy Cockrum Foundation\, and to all involved for sharing their artistry\, talents and resources with our students and we look forward to welcoming audiences to the Montana Theatre to see Can’t Drink Salt Water\,” said Bernadette Sweeney\, Director of UM School of Theatre and Dance. \n\n\n\n This project began in 2019 with the idea to commission an original work from an Indigenous artist\, grounded in The Rep’s action-oriented Land Acknowledgement: “Montana Repertory Theatre acknowledges that we are in the aboriginal territories of the Salish and Kalispel people. We also acknowledge the privilege of gathering on this land to share stories. We pledge to always hold a place on our stages for the stories of this land and of its first peoples.” The original commission was supported by the Warren Miller Performing Arts Center in Big Sky\, Montana\, and this story was chosen by a nationwide team of Indigenous artists\, including Lily Gladstone\, DeLanna Studi\, Madeline Sayet\, and Andre Bouchard. \n\n\n\n“The Warren Miller Performing Arts Center (WMPAC) is thrilled to see the next phase of Can’t Drink Salt Water coming to life in Missoula this spring. Any chance we can get to help support new\, adventurous work like the piece that Kendra Mylnechuk Potter has created\, we’re fully on board\, especially when it comes to cultural realities that authentically embody lived experiences here in Montana\,” said John Zirkle\, Executive Director / Artistic Director at WMPAC. \n\n\n\nThis production is supported by a generous grant from The Roy Cockrum Foundation. Founded in 2014 by Roy Cockrum and Benita Hofstetter Koman with winnings from Mr. Cockrum’s Powerball lottery jackpot\, the Foundation’s mission is to award grants to support world-class performing arts projects in not-for-profit professional theatres throughout America. Since 2014\, 76 American theaters and performing arts organizations have received major grants from the Foundation. Inspiration for its mission derives from a Camus quote:“Without culture\, and the relative freedom it implies\, society\, even when perfect\, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future.” ― Albert Camus\, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays.This performance includes mature themes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPurchase Tickets LINK

She crafts a narrative journey through her sets\, mixing original compositions with drum pad sequences and diverse tracks ranging from gritty\, low-end bangers to shimmering\, mid-tempo vocal bass and head-nodding disco beats. Her relentless touring schedule\, boasting numerous shows annually for the past five years\, Maddy showcases her unstoppable momentum and ability to energize audiences nationwide. \n\n\n\nMaddy’s discography includes standout tracks like “Zest Please\,” a collaboration with CloZee that garnered over 4 million Spotify plays. Her impressive body of work also features two full length LP’s – “Ricochet” released in 2023 which really began her ascent into the stratosphere and Vital Signs in 2024 which gained credits by publications like billboard and forbes.

An ever-evolving artist\, Artifakts established his project in 2011 and has been able to break out of the confines of modern electronic music while also contributing to the project both sonically and visually. Landing noteworthy shows across the country with a wide array of both live and DJ sets\, this producer has shown his belonging among the ranks of seasoned beat makers. \n\n\n\nSince 2012 Artifakts has worked with a plethora of renown musicians\, labels and producers both musically and in design to provide a unique catalog of music and art very much rooted in the indie-electronic community. While toting a discography frequently favorited by study/relax playlists\, an Artifakts performance is anything but stringent in style\, often showcasing genres from current bass music to classic grooves\, rap flips\, and anything in between.

SUMMARY:Montana Repertory Theatre "Can't Drink Salt Water" with UM School of Theatre & Dance at UM Montana Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Montana Repertory Theatre presents the world premiere of Kendra Mylnechuk Potter’s “Can’t Drink Salt Water” with the UM School of Theatre & Dance in the Montana Theatre with performances from Saturday\, February 14 through Sunday\, February 22\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors @ 30 minutes before show time \n\n\n\nWith transformative support from The Roy Cockrum Foundation\, and in partnership with UM School of Theatre and Dance\, Montana Repertory Theatre presents the world premiere of Kendra Mylnechuk Potter’s Can’t Drink Salt Water. The opening night of this gripping new play will take place Saturday\, February 14\, 2026 in the Montana Theatre on the UM Campus (PARTV Building)\, with eight additional performances following\, through February 22. \n\n\n\nJuxtaposing a mother’s relentless search for her missing daughter with the journey of a young woman newly arrived at Bethel House\, an evangelical shelter for victims of sex trafficking\, this timely story weaves together Native identity\, maternal grief\, contemporary religious faith\, humor\, and a call to action. The production showcases professional Indigenous talent from across the country\, including cast members Allison Hicks\, Jennifer Rader\, Serenity Mariana\, and Bradley Lewis\, costumes by Asa Benally\, lighting design by Emma Deane\, sound design by Rory Stitt\, and mask design and creation by Cannupa Hanska Luger. As a co-production\, it showcases UM student actors\, designers\, and crew alongside the professionals. The cast includes students Shadie Wallette\, who previously performed in the 2023 staged reading\, and Octavio Jimenez\, who has toured the state over the past year with State of Mind\, a collaboration between The Rep and the University of Montana Co-Lab for Civic Imagination. UM Students in the crew include Ronnie Avansino as the Props Designer\, Rae Scott as the Assistant Stage Manager\, and Aaron Prati as the Assistant Lighting Designer. The playwright\, Kendra Mylnechuk Potter\, is a University of Montana alum\, and is based in Missoula. \n\n\n\n“I am humbled to have the opportunity to collaborate with so many artists in this meaningful way. And for the work to get to live on this particular stage where I first worked over 20 years ago as a student\, my “home stage” as it were\, is a straight up dream\,” Potter said. “The caliber of work – soup to nuts – from designers through performers\, is just such a treat for our town to get to share in\, and getting to mingle seasoned professionals at the top of their craft while highlighting the talent here in town with that of our UM student artists is a joy that brings this experience additional heart. My sincere hope is that we are able to provide a theatrical experience that feels like a useful contribution to the issues we seek to address: Missing and Murdered Indigenous People\, community care\, ecosystems\, and seeing what (and who) has been here all along.” \n\n\n\n“The School of Theatre and Dance is proud to partner with Montana Repertory Theatre to tell this vital story. We are so grateful to the Native artists\, The Roy Cockrum Foundation\, and to all involved for sharing their artistry\, talents and resources with our students and we look forward to welcoming audiences to the Montana Theatre to see Can’t Drink Salt Water\,” said Bernadette Sweeney\, Director of UM School of Theatre and Dance. \n\n\n\n This project began in 2019 with the idea to commission an original work from an Indigenous artist\, grounded in The Rep’s action-oriented Land Acknowledgement: “Montana Repertory Theatre acknowledges that we are in the aboriginal territories of the Salish and Kalispel people.

SUMMARY:Montana Repertory Theatre "Can't Drink Salt Water" with UM School of Theatre & Dance at UM Montana Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Montana Repertory Theatre presents the world premiere of Kendra Mylnechuk Potter’s “Can’t Drink Salt Water” with the UM School of Theatre & Dance in the Montana Theatre with performances from Saturday\, February 14 through Sunday\, February 22\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors @ 30 minutes before show time \n\n\n\nWith transformative support from The Roy Cockrum Foundation\, and in partnership with UM School of Theatre and Dance\, Montana Repertory Theatre presents the world premiere of Kendra Mylnechuk Potter’s Can’t Drink Salt Water. The opening night of this gripping new play will take place Saturday\, February 14\, 2026 in the Montana Theatre on the UM Campus (PARTV Building)\, with eight additional performances following\, through February 22. \n\n\n\nJuxtaposing a mother’s relentless search for her missing daughter with the journey of a young woman newly arrived at Bethel House\, an evangelical shelter for victims of sex trafficking\, this timely story weaves together Native identity\, maternal grief\, contemporary religious faith\, humor\, and a call to action. The production showcases professional Indigenous talent from across the country\, including cast members Allison Hicks\, Jennifer Rader\, Serenity Mariana\, and Bradley Lewis\, costumes by Asa Benally\, lighting design by Emma Deane\, sound design by Rory Stitt\, and mask design and creation by Cannupa Hanska Luger. As a co-production\, it showcases UM student actors\, designers\, and crew alongside the professionals. The cast includes students Shadie Wallette\, who previously performed in the 2023 staged reading\, and Octavio Jimenez\, who has toured the state over the past year with State of Mind\, a collaboration between The Rep and the University of Montana Co-Lab for Civic Imagination. UM Students in the crew include Ronnie Avansino as the Props Designer\, Rae Scott as the Assistant Stage Manager\, and Aaron Prati as the Assistant Lighting Designer. The playwright\, Kendra Mylnechuk Potter\, is a University of Montana alum\, and is based in Missoula. \n\n\n\n“I am humbled to have the opportunity to collaborate with so many artists in this meaningful way. And for the work to get to live on this particular stage where I first worked over 20 years ago as a student\, my “home stage” as it were\, is a straight up dream\,” Potter said. “The caliber of work – soup to nuts – from designers through performers\, is just such a treat for our town to get to share in\, and getting to mingle seasoned professionals at the top of their craft while highlighting the talent here in town with that of our UM student artists is a joy that brings this experience additional heart. My sincere hope is that we are able to provide a theatrical experience that feels like a useful contribution to the issues we seek to address: Missing and Murdered Indigenous People\, community care\, ecosystems\, and seeing what (and who) has been here all along.” \n\n\n\n“The School of Theatre and Dance is proud to partner with Montana Repertory Theatre to tell this vital story. We are so grateful to the Native artists\, The Roy Cockrum Foundation\, and to all involved for sharing their artistry\, talents and resources with our students and we look forward to welcoming audiences to the Montana Theatre to see Can’t Drink Salt Water\,” said Bernadette Sweeney\, Director of UM School of Theatre and Dance. \n\n\n\n This project began in 2019 with the idea to commission an original work from an Indigenous artist\, grounded in The Rep’s action-oriented Land Acknowledgement: “Montana Repertory Theatre acknowledges that we are in the aboriginal territories of the Salish and Kalispel people.

Seldom is this phenomenon felt more powerfully than inside the wonderful world of Opiuo. A genre-bending plethora of auditory and visual masterclasses upon which Oscar Davey-Wraight has built his highly respected\, forward-thinking career. Born in 1984 in rural New Zealand\, his parents provided the land upon which music festivals were held\, unveiling the magic of live music to Opiuo at a young age. This extremely formative growth surrounded by the early incarnations of Aotearoa’s electronic music scene exposed him to the beautiful celebration of life through self-expression\, dance\, and giant sound systems. These experiences directly shaped so much of who he is & what he stands for today. Positivity and movement at the core of the project\, his music is an infectious electronic based blend of funk\, soul\, psychedelia\, and booty-shaking bass. \n\n\n\nNow calling Australia home\, Oscar frequently tours his party-starting music throughout the globe. Having spent more than a decade performing at some of the world’s most renowned festivals and venues including Lollapalooza (US)\, Glastonbury (UK)\, and Splendour In The Grass (AU)\, as well as selling out Colorado’s world-famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre multiple times\, he’s performed his music in an unimaginably large array of formats. From self-built Orchestras\, to collaborating with symphony choirs\, touring his own Opiuo Band\, and as an immersive solo audio & visual show\, his live creativity is limitless.

Donations are allocated for worthwhile organizations focusing on: Mental Health\, Harm Reduction\, Children & Families\, Poverty & Homelessness\, Disenfranchised Communities\, and Terminal Illness. ** \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Emo NiteAs Rolling Stone observed a few years ago\, “Emo Nite Vindicated the Scene.” \n\n\n\nSince they threw their first party at an East L.A. dive bar\, Morgan Freed and T.J. Petracca\, and a dedicated crew of regular attendees\, built Emo Nite into a phenomenon. Top-tier emo artists\, old and new\, curate playlists and perform\, with guest lists boasting members of blink-182\, All Time Low\, Dashboard Confessional\, The Maine\, and Good Charlotte. Scene-friendly pop culture mavericks often participate\, like past attendees Post Malone\, Demi Lovato\, Machine Gun Kelly\, and Skrillex. \n\n\n\nIt’s all too easy to forget that before the first Emo Nite in December 2014\, “emo” was a joke. \n\n\n\nSomehow on its journey from a melodic post-hardcore subgenre\, built on earnest emotional expression\, to a mainstream moniker assigned to anything remotely angsty\, “emo” became a dirty word. Despite the positive impact ushered in by waves of bands\, from the crucial “Revolution Summer” and Sunny Day Real Estate through Taking Back Sunday and My Chemical Romance\, accepting “emo” as a dismissive designation or identity invited polite embarrassment and even scorn. \n\n\n\nBut Freed and Petracca grew up loving the music associated with emo and the people like them who similarly embraced outsider art and subculture\, regardless of changing fashions or pretentious snobbery. Petracca told The New Yorker the idea behind the first Emo Nite celebration was to center a happy\, communal experience on the music they once listened to when they were upset and alone. \n\n\n\n“I sang Dashboard Confessional at karaoke at a friend’s birthday party and thought it was super fun to go out with friends and listen to music we actually liked\,” recalls Petracca\, who met Freed when the pair worked at a creative agency together. “Every other club in LA played EDM\, Top 40\, or hip-hop. We always found ourselves pre-gaming with emo and pop-punk music before we went out.” \n\n\n\nFreed knew a bartender at the Short Stop in Echo Park and convinced him to let them throw a party on a random\, rainy Tuesday. They invited friends via Facebook; double the bar’s capacity turned up. “We decided to see how far we could take it\,” Petracca says. “‘Who would be the craziest guest?’ We invited Mark Hoppus\, and he came! He did our first one at Echoplex\, which was our third party ever.” \n\n\n\n“There’s no disconnect between the artist and fan\,” Freed points out. “I think that’s brought people closer to the music. It created a really strong sense of community\, at a time when emo wasn’t ‘cool.’” \n\n\n\nThere may be a surprise acoustic set or even a full-band performance\, but ultimately\, it’s about the experience. Emo Nite turned a party into a community\, reclaiming the spirit of how the scene began. \n\n\n\nIt’s now a recurring event thrown by dozens of friends in over 50 cities in the United States. Emo Nite runs full-day festivals and curates coveted performance spots at Coachella\, Lollapalooza\, Bonnaroo\, Firefly\, and more. Freed and Petracca launched successful clothing collaborations with brands like OBEY\, Urban Outfitters\, PLEASURES\, The Hundreds\, Rose in Good Faith\, Market\, and OWSLA. \n\n\n\n“A larger promoter told us the shelf life of a club night in Los Angeles was two years\,” Freed says\, marveling at Emo Nite’s staying power. “A hundred percent of it is the people that go to it. This music makes people feel connected. The energy of it is so special. You get a group of people together who look different\, but they have this thing in common. We started seeing friend groups form really\, really quickly. People met their significant others at these events. The community really trusts each other.” \n\n\n\n“Emo Nite LA has become an essential gathering point for fans of emo\, pop-punk\, and related styles\,” Rolling Stone noted. \n\n\n\nIn October 2021\, Emo Nite’s founders threw Emo Nite Vegas Vacation\, a three-day event headlined by Avril Lavigne and Machine Gun Kelly\, with Sleeping With Sirens\, MOD SUN\, 3OH!3\, and more. \n\n\n\n“What Emo Nite does better than any of their competitors is they make ‘emo culture’ feel both nostalgic and brand new\,” The Summer Set’s Brian Logan Dales told Forbes\, in a profile which included professions of love from members of Papa Roach\, Underoath\, and State Champs. “You can go to an Emo Nite with your best friends and sing along to old songs you grew up with\, and at the same time\, discover a brand-new artist who’s making music today because they grew up on that very same music as you. They’ve taken the emo of the past and helped it forge a new path for the future.” \n\n\n\nAs emo reenters popular culture with a blend of adoring nostalgia and optimistic forward- thinking\, Emo Nite remains an authentic space to celebrate diversity\, experience passionate catharsis\, and champion authentic expression. Emo Nite isn’t a band or a DJ crew. It’s an idea\, one as simple as the urge to throw a party for a beloved style of music. Often imitated but never truly duplicated\, Emo Nite’s founders and supporters are fond of saying\, “If you don’t see the grave\, it ain’t our rave.” \n\n\n\n“There’s a lot of ownership from our community of the event itself and the Emo Nite brand\,” Petracca says. “It’s about breaking down that barrier of ‘Look at me\, it’s all about me.’ No\, it’s about us\, together\, in this room. It belongs to every single person that comes through the door.” \n\n\n\nThe co-founders continue to look ahead. “Emo Nite definitely impacted culture\,” Freed notes. “But we have no plans to stop changing the way we view the evolution and expansion of the genre.”

It is the brainchild of Atlanta-raised sisters Leah Song and Chloe Smith\, rooted in the rich musical traditions of their family and their journey into song as performers\, writers\, and song catchers.

Their journey has taken them around the world\, from sailboat tours across British Columbia to street theater festivals in Southern Italy\, a full-time busking career in New Orleans\, and traditional song studies in Ireland\, Bulgaria\, Latin America\, and beyond. \n\n\n\nThey also continue to immerse in community building\, cultural exchange programs\, traditional folkloric studies\, and music gathering everywhere that they go.

SUMMARY:Local Author Julie Petrou - Reading and Signing at Fact & Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Meet local author Julie Petrou for a Reading and Signing at Fact & Fiction at 7:00 pm Wednesday\, March 18\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Books: \n\n\n\nShadows of Defiance: For Anna\, a teacher in 1952\, a simple errand becomes a journey into the past. Ripped from her own time and thrown into the brutal Second Seminole War of 1835\, she finds herself in a strange world\, with a purpose she doesn’t understand. Although drawn to Alligator\, a brave Muskogee leader\, Anna’s true mission is to save the life of a woman who will become her great-great-grandmother. Every step in the past is a fight for her family’s future\, yet a bond with Alligator forms\, leading to a connection more profound than she could have imagined. Anna soon learns that her visit to the past has created a link that can never be broken. Unwillingly returned to her own time\, she is heartbroken\, pregnant\, and alone. Having completed her mission by saving her ancestor\, she must accept the impossible truth: she is carrying Alligator’s child\, a legacy that will forever bind her to a century she was never meant to be a part of. \n\n\n\nGuardian: Origin of the Amulet: When the Spanish arrive on Incan soil\, Aniya’s fate is sealed – until her father\, a master of ancient mystical enchantments\, forges a powerful amulet to protect her. But\, protection comes at a price. Torn between duty and heart\, the young conquistador\, Mateo\, defies an empire to save her and rescue her family from an uncertain fate. Together the flee to the quiet shores of Guadeloupe\, hoping to build a life of peace. But the world they left behind refuses to forget them. With pirates on the horizon and old enemies closing in\, they must stand together. Aniya and Mateo rely on the amulet’s true power to protect them against impossible odds. They’re not only fighting for their lives\, they’re also fighting for their legacy. \n\n\n\nDream Keeper: Until now\, Andrea had never put stock in the mystic foretelling of a Tarot Reading. Her purchase of an enchanted amulet\, combined with a more than mysterious reading\, began a nightmare that whisked her away from all she knew and into a life of numerous dangers. Unwillingly thrust into a different century\, Andrea finds her purpose in 1798\, having been escorted to a place and a time that needs the amulet’s help. Fear\, friendship\, romance\, and history are played like instruments by the amulet’s divination\, as Andrea unravels the threads of its deeper story. Dream Keeper immerses the reader in life after war and the resettling of a diverse culture. This mesmerizing story will draw you into a mystery alongside a young woman who struggles with the turmoil of modern crimes against humanity and the trauma of being a victim. \n\n\n\nAbout the Author: Julie Petrou was born and raised in Idaho and now makes her home in western Montana. Having raised her children\, she now enjoys spending time with her grandchildren whenever she gets the chance. The author of three books\, she loves to see the results of her labors\, whether through gardening\, crafts\, reading\, or\, most of all\, writing. Always having a place in her heart for history\, she is currently focused on indigenous tribes. She applauds their continued reverence and respect for their traditions. Embracing the outdoors\, her family\, friends\, and her puppy companions\, Julie loves to create worlds through her writing that give life to her stories; both those of the present and those who came before us\, hoping they will be understood and appreciated for years to come.

Known for their unparalleled dedication to faithfully recreating the legendary band’s live performances\, Zoso has earned accolades from both critics and fans alike. \n\n\n\nZoso’s live performances focus on the raw energy and intricate musicality of Led Zeppelin’s best-known hits and deeper tracks\, with a particular emphasis on recreating their live show experience. The band’s commitment to authenticity has earned them praise from major outlets\, with the LA Times calling them “head and shoulders above all other Led Zeppelin tributes\,” and the St. Petersburg Times describing them as “the most exacting of all the Led Zeppelin tributes.” \n\n\n\nThe band was founded in 1995 by Matt Jernigan and Adam Sandling\, both of whom are renowned for their exceptional musicianship and passion for Led Zeppelin’s music. Jernigan\, who takes on the colossal role of Robert Plant\, has a commanding stage presence that rivals the icon himself. Sandling\, who brings John Paul Jones to life\, masterfully plays bass\, keyboards\, and mandolin\, replicating the multifaceted talent of the Zeppelin legend. \n\n\n\nIn 2015\, Bevan Davies joined Zoso on drums to master the part of John Bonham. An accomplished touring and studio drummer with a resume that includes playing with such artists as Danzig\, Jerry Cantrell (of Alice in Chains)\, and Static X and many more. Davies brings an unmistakable power and precision to Zoso’s live shows\, helping the band recreate Bonham’s legendary drum sound. His performance of Bonham’s legendary Moby Dick is something to behold. \n\n\n\nIn 2025\, at the age of 24\, Holston Rainero joined the band\, taking on the monumental guitar role of Jimmy Page. A fan of Zoso\, Rainero didn’t let an opportunity slip away when he learned of an opening in the band’s lineup. His story read like something straight out of a movie script; Rainero reached out directly to the band through social media to request an audition. While dozens of musicians had already contacted the band with no success\, Rainero’s determination set him apart. \n\n\n\nRefusing to take no for an answer\, he began uploading videos of himself playing classic songs from the band in his bedroom. It didn’t take long for the band to recognize his extraordinary talent. His playing was not just skilled\, it was a truly inspired performance\, with the technical mastery and soul that made it clear he was something special. \n\n\n\nThe band immediately got him to Atlanta for an in-person audition. Rainero\, ever ready\, arrived with his bags packed\, knowing he was prepared to seize the moment. His live audition exceeded all expectations\, and within days\, he was on tour with the band\, stepping into one of rock history’s most iconic roles. \n\n\n\nAfter starting out 2025 touring with Zakk Wylde on the Zakk Sabbath tour. The band has now embarked on its 30th anniversary headlining tour. New dates for the tour are being added every week with the hopes of reaching 150 shows this year.
