A tireless doer of all things, Matt Boyle’s business card officially lists him as the owner of Montana Booking Agency and the manager of Collective Elevation. To the broader world, he’s been promoting music and producing a mind numbingly wide array of community events for well over a decade. And if he’s not working behind to scenes, he’ll definitely be enjoying it, in the crowd right next to you. 

Of all the places, Matt calls Butte, Montana home.  

Christy Hays has been a professional touring songwriter forever with multiple studio albums and a unique fusion sound described as Americana rock and roll (with an occasional psychedelic flourish!). After time spent in Alaska, Nashville, and Austin, she has settled in Montana and started a writer's residence program called Dear Butte. She has recently been named the general manager of KBMF 102.5fm radio station in Butte.
