Overview

My band can cover many styles of music from different decades. We love vocal harmonies and creating moving moments where you get caught up in the beauty of music. We also love high energy songs and the sight of bobbing heads and a crowded dance floor.

If you hire us you are getting a high energy band that is dedicated to putting on a great performance while making sure everybody in the audience hears something they love. We want to help make your event or venue successful.

We also can provide DJ services if that is more in line with your needs/budget :)

Great Local Band

The whole band was wonderful and accommodating to our guests song requests. They played a variety of great songs that got everyone either singing along with them or dancing on the dance floor. Everyone really enjoyed the live music. Thank you so much for making our event a success.

Kept the wedding guests dancing all night

This band turned out to be everything I wanted for my wedding and more. Handled sound and announcements for the ceremony, the cocktail hour, the speeches, and then rocked live music that kept the wedding guests dancing the entire reception. Their set list was extensive and they were very nice to let me go through it and highlight the songs we absolutely wanted to hear -- and the highlights were definitely Jimmy Eat World, Madonna, and Foo Fighters. My wedding was successful because of how great this band was to work with, from start to finish, and everyone loved singing and dancing to 90s covers. Thanks guys!

Fantastic Group

Stumbling Free is a splendid bank with a great attitude that is surpassed only by their musical talent. They are a fabulous bunch of guys that played for the full three hours that we had hired them; we got lots of compliments during and after the party on the band, from a wide range of age-groups. We would highly recommend them and they will definitely be our first choice for our next party.

About

Stumbling Free is a Helena, MT based Rock and Roll Band. Our original songs span from ballads to riff rock. We also cover many styles of music from different decades. We love vocal harmonies and creating moving moments where you get caught up in the beauty of music. We also love high energy songs and the sight of bobbing heads and a crowded dance floor.

Our band started in 2010. More than anything, we are a group of friends who love getting together to write and play music. We hang out at least once a week as a band family and our kids play together while our wives visit and control the chaos (every 5th practice is ladies night and we watch the kids while they get some much deserved freedom!)

We have played bars, conventions, corporate events, fundraisers, weddings, parties, churches, hillsides with generators, and even in Canada eh?!!

If you hire Stumbling Free you are getting a high energy band that is dedicated to putting on a great performance while making sure everybody in the audience hears something they love. We want to help make your event or venue successful.

Additional booking notes

We are pretty easy to deal with. We love stages, but can do without.
We run all of our own sound if necessary, but always enjoy working with an engineer.
