Red Ribbon Ball serves as AIDS Outreach’s (AO) signature fundraising benefit, supporting critical resources to continue advancing HIV services and programs throughout Gallatin, Madison, and Park Counties. Red Ribbon Ball is held annually in Downtown Bozeman in recognition of World AIDS Day, one of the eight official global public health campaigns marked by the World Health Organization (WHO) and dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection and to mourning those who have died of AIDS-related complications.

Red Ribbon Ball features a silent auction of items and experiences generously donated by local businesses, as well as a fabulous Drag Show hosted by and featuring the performers of The Countship of the Imperial Sovereign Court of the State… These incredible performers donate any and all cash tips they are given at the event to further support Aids Outreach MT’s mission.

Fresh off an East Coast tour in 2019, Northwest Montana artist, Luke Dowler, is planning 2 new releases within the year and a busy 2020 of touring to support the records. The first to be released is EAST, the final of 4 EPs, in what he calls the Compass Project. Produced and mixed himself, the records, NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, and WEST, showcase Dowler’s versatility as a songwriter and performer. Songs like “Good Enough” and “Baby, We’re All Monsters” are tied together by a folk-rock thread, while “Halfway” and “College Towns” (written about Missoula, MT) showcase a modern blend of electronic and organic vibes.

Named by Paste Magazine as an artist to listen to now, Dowler’s music has been featured on HGTV, Without A Trace, Heartland and many other indie films. Because of his versatility, Dowler has also been hired to compose for film and documentaries “Finding Faeries, 2016; The Forlorned, 2017; Afterlight, 2018).

This will be the Magpies Official Album Release Party celebrating their new LP, Terrain. Learn more about the album here. They’ll be joined by fellow Zootown rockers Wilma Laverne Miner and New Old Future.

Magpies are an indie rock, post grunge band from Missoula, Montana and have drawn comparisons to bands like Sonic Youth, Pixies and, “B-52’s meets Yo La Tengo”. The band was founded by husband/wife duo Tolan Harber- guitar, vocals and Samantha Pollington- bass, vocals. Rounding out the rest of the band is Hank Donovan on guitar and Aaron Soria on drums.

HELLYEAH  is the brainchild of Mudvayne frontman Chad Gray and Nothingface founder Tom Maxwell. The band’s self-titled debut hit the streets in 2007, entering the Billboard 200 album chart at No. 9. In 2010, Stampede hit No. 8 on the same prestigious chart,

2014’s critically acclaimed album Blood for Blood debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart. The album was nominated for Loudwire Music Awards’ Best Rock Album. The band unleashed “333,” the first fiery song from their forthcoming album. Welcome Home, in March 2019. The new album was released September 27, 2019.

Fusing two fresh-off-the-mountain electronic music addicts, Tim and Dave together create 12 feet and 350 pounds of turbo-funk-boosted, snowsuit-donning man flesh. Hailing from the world famous ski town of Whistler, this dynamic duo loves shredding fresh powder almost as much as they love smashing out hit-records in the studio.

In the spring of 2016, they started up their own record label, Double Black Records. Last spring ‘Bad Behaviour’ was premiered on Diplo & Friends (BBC Radio 1) and subsequently charted on Beatport after being released by Fool’s Gold Records.  They started 2019 with a bang holding onto the #1 song on Beatport Electro House charts with “Redlight” for 5 straight weeks.
