Thursday evening, June 23rd Three of the West’s premiere singer/songwriter and dynamic performers
together with a stellar band of musicians are on tour to bring a memorable

evening of award winning songs to audiences throughout America. Taken collectively, their music glides
effortlessly over the boundaries of jazz, country, bluegrass, folk, pop and blues,
and many of their original songs have been featured throughout the rich tapestry
of the American Musical Media.

Rob Quist, lead vocals, banjo and guitar, is lead singer and songwriter of such
seminal groups as Mission Mountain Wood Band, The Montana Band, and Rob
Quist & Great Northern. His ode to rural living “Close to the Land”, recorded by
Michael Martin Murphey, was recently awarded “Song of the Year” at the Texas
Music Awards, and is featured on the Grammy nominated bluegrass album by
Murphey. Rob has: released several CDs; appeared on National TV numerous
times; toured extensively to Japan, Europe and the US; is a published poet; and
was recently inducted into the University of Montana School of Fine Arts Hall of
Honors, recognizing him as “one of it’s greats”.

Halladay Quist, lead vocals, bass, banjo and guitar, has just released her
first self titled CD to rave reviews, drawing strong interest from major labels.
As a songwriter, she has composed many of the songs on her CD and has a
new composition recorded by Phil Vassar. She is recognized as an up and
coming artist to be reckoned with, garnering wildly enthusiastic responses
from concert audiences throughout Europe and the West.

Guthrie Quist, lead vocals and lead guitar, has released
three CDs of original music. With his powerful vocals, he was
offered a voice scholarship to Pepperdine, where he formed the rock group Quisthammer,
touring California and the West opening for Three Dog Night and the Doobie Brothers.
Guthrie was cast in the leading role of the full feature Indy movie “Flower in The Dirt”,
due out this Spring.

With stellar lead vocals, close three part harmony, and world class instrumentals, they
bring the easy camaraderie of well seasoned road warriors to the stage. Don’t miss this
opportunity to hear some of America’s best loved songs by the artists who have composed
them. Brother Rob and Guthrie Quist are members of Kalispell Lodge No. 42.

Friday evening, June 24th

American Dueling Pianos, featuring Troy Baldwin and Jordan Richardson. The Show is typically an hour
and a half all request, audience interactive, sing-a-long show, much like a comedy show with music, in
which you the audience drive the song selection. The tips that drive the song order. Songs are played in the
order of the money on the song, and any song can be stopped for one dollar more than the original request.
