GET TO KNOW OUR SONGWRITERS

Welcome to Mountain Bluebird Presents, located in beautiful Deer Lodge, Montana. This is a place to gather, connect, and celebrate songwriters—their voices, their stories, and the songs that bring us together. From Grammy Award–winning artists to homegrown Montana talent, we’re here to share the music that moves us all. Join in, follow along, and help us keep the songs alive.

Who We Are

At the heart of Mountain Bluebird Presents is the community of Deer Lodge. In 2025, proceeds from our songwriter rounds supported updates to our historic Rialto Theatre, and $7,100 was dedicated to the construction of the Breanna Arae Rome Memorial Park. This was made possible thanks to all of the songwriters, everyone who bought a ticket, and the support of our Patrons of Song. We believe, when our community comes together to share songs and good times, incredible things can happen.
