About Tim Montana
Tim Montana forges a new frontier for hard rock. Following a tumultuous and downright unbelievable childhood in a trailer off-the-grid, the singer, guitarist, and entrepreneur left his home state of Montana in the rearview at barely eighteen-years-old. Driven by a restless work ethic, he quietly carved out a niche without comparison. Along the way, he performed on The Late Show with David Letterman at the behest of the host (practically unheard of for a totally independent artist), collaborated with everyone from Billy Gibbons to Kid Rock (cracking the charts for the first time), made a fan out of Charlie Sheen (who directed the “Mostly Stoned” video), and even attracted his idol Dave Grohl to his corner. Forged by a long grind, he fulfilled his destiny in 2023. Tim shook the rock world with “Devil You Know.” Christened “flawless” and “One of the 30 Best Rock + Metal Songs of 2023” by LoudWire, the breakout single surged onto Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay and Rock & Alternative Airplay charts. In its wake, iHeartRadio touted him as an “On The Verge Artist.” Soon, he found himself booked for tours with Staind, Seether, Saint Asonia, Bush, and Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains (another hero of Tim’s). Simultaneously, he and Gibbons purchased the historic bar and hotel Wise River Club in Wise River, MT. Coming back home to Montana inspired him to go even wilder on his 2024 full-length album, Savage. The hooks hit harder, the distortion was cranked up louder, and the spirit became freer. Tim is telling a story that will resonate far beyond his home state, and you can hear it loud and clear on his current single and title track “Savage” which is currently inside the Top 10 at on the Rock Airplay charts. Listen to Savage HERE.

About Special Ops Xcursions
Special Ops Xcursions is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization devoted to supporting Special Operations families, teams, and individuals with recreational opportunities to decompress between deployments. We provide active duty SOF (Special Operations Forces) guests outdoor adventures all across the United States and abroad. Our events include hunting, fishing, kids camps, family field days, trap and skeet shooting, archery range days, family retreats, African Safaris, music writing getaways with Nashville recording artists, camping, and more. At our events, we seek an atmosphere of relaxation and camaraderie, 1:1 ratio of guests to guides in small group settings, and aim to remove all costs to the servicemen and families who join us. Our team of volunteers provides meals, gear, clothing, bait, ammo, and the fully guided Xcursion. All Special Ops Xcursions events have restrictions on camera and video usage. No tv shows here, just Soldiers in the outdoors enjoying a weekend at the lodge with friends and family.
About Heroes and Horses
“Our mission at Heroes and Horses is to un-program the programmed. To offer combat veterans an alternative solution for defining and approaching their physical and mental scars—a solution that does not include prescription medications, or traditional psychotherapy, but rather the opportunity to use tools to redefine their purpose, rediscover their inner strength, and maximize their potential by taking ownership of their lives for the first time since leaving service.”
