RED LODGE, MT - A local video production crew is striving to connect the far-flung Montana and Wyoming music scenes by providing artists with free, high-quality live recordings and videos in the most beautiful of settings.

Formed in 2022 by four southwest Montanans with a passion for bolstering local music, Big Sky Bonus Tracks is a platform for musicians to be heard and where its audience can be introduced to new and unique local music that they’ll love.

Oftentimes filmed outdoors in Red Lodge, MT, the crew is now midway into releasing its second season and would like to invite everyone to play a part and support the plethora of powerful storytellers and musicians of all genres that the Treasure State area and beyond has to offer.

Featuring names like Satsang, Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs, Wes Urbaniak, Kayln Beasley, Tanner Laws, Counting Coup, Lee Calvin, and more, Big Sky Bonus Tracks Season One and Two are available to watch now for free on YouTube.

“Big Sky Bonus Tracks is bridging that gap and actually bringing the songwriters and giving them a forefront to share their music and talents with everybody, which is fantastic. We’ve needed some kind of platform like that for a very long time,” said Billings songwriter Zechariah Peabody following his Season 1 recording session.

How does the crew do it all for free? Truthfully, a lot of passion and extra hours on top of day jobs make the production run. But they know the results are worth it, especially now that word is starting to spread about the crew’s quality work and community-centered mindset.

Four sessions are currently in the editing room and there’s an ever-growing waitlist of artists wanting to be featured on the platform, which illustrates the need for this kind of video work in this rural arts community.

From its home base in Red Lodge, MT the six-member Big Sky Bonus Tracks crew creates Raw Music Experiences In The Big Sky. We are 100% member supported. Follow along and learn more on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and BigSkyBonusTracks.com.
