About The Event
Free Live Music! Chad Okrusch writes Rocky Mountain Americana from Butte, Montana — songs with mining-town grit, literary weight, and a crooked kind of hope. Known as “Uncle Chad” in the Montana songwriting community, he has opened for Robert Earl Keen, Chris Knight, and Blake Shelton, and has appeared at Red Ants Pants, the Montana Folk Festival, the National Folk Festival, and songwriter festivals across the region. His forthcoming album, Mostly Love, gathers songs of love, repair, friendship, freedom, and the long road home.
In addition to making music, Okrusch earned a Ph.D. from the University of Oregon and is a tenured full professor of philosophy and communication at Montana Technological University.
