Moods Of The Madison is back, this July 17-18 in Ennis, MT!  This 2 day event will include national headlining music, vendors, non-profits, the great outdoors and of course a great celebration. Chamberlin productions is producing and preparing for the festival in conjunction with community leaders.




Headliner Beats Antique was formed in San Francisco, California in 2007 when Zoe Jakes approached her manager, Miles Copeland (brother of drummer Stewart Copeland of The Police) about creating an album. Copeland green lit the project, and their debut album Tribal Derivations was conceived on Copeland’s CIA record label. Tribal Derivations was a concept album, created to complement the dance styles of producer/arranger Zoe Jakes. The group’s second album, Collide, reached the top 10 of most downloaded artists under the Middle East and World Dance and the top 20 most downloaded electronic albums on Amazon. For their third album, Contraption Vol. 1, Beats Antique brought in collaborators such as hammered dulcimer player Jamie Janover, and beat boxer and hip hop vocalist LYNX. Their 2010 release Blind Threshold featured harmonica player John Popper of Blues Traveler. The 10-track Elektraphone was released October 4, 2011. They will perform the evening of Saturday July 19.

VIP areas at MOTM include a shaded VIP tent and lounge with elevated viewing platform and complimentary adult beverages. We’ll also be the first festival in Montana to include Glamping (VIP Tipi Camping). Regional Food and craft vendors will be featured throughout the weekend, along with kids and family activities. Plenty of area attractions are available to complete your Southwest Montana experience including hot springs, Madison River, fly fishing…It’s Moods Of The Madison in Ennis, Montana!
