Tim Montana on Letterman

October 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment

This is cool: Tim Montana, a country/rock musician who grew up in & around Butte, will appear on “The Late Show with David Letterman” tonight (Friday, October 17) to perform his song “Butte, America.”

Tim landed the gig on after he met Letterman while he (Letterman) was vacationing at his Choteau ranch.

More Montanans on Letterman: Cold Hard Cash (an awesome Johnny Cash tribute band from Great Falls) will be on Letterman in November. Like Tim Montana, they met Letterman when he was vacationing in Choteau.

Looks like aspiring musicians need to hang out in Choteau if Dave is in town!
