Friends! Family! Supporters! Creators of MONTANA!!!

Mark your calendars for June 6th at the Zootown Arts Community Center / ZACC as this will be our Grand Finale of MAMA Open Mic Nights at the ZACC

We have had to transition back to being 100% volunteer-run. As paying fair wages is at the core of our mission, we cannot continue to place the responsibility of running this monthly event on our Volunteer Executive Director.

What a gift to have been able to host these beautiful evenings since the start of 2022, giving us meaningful connections, endless inspiration, and deeper insight into the talent of this incredible community.

So, join us and bring your heart's song. Bring your people and let's make this finale one for the books!

Let's !!

Howdy friends,

As some of you may know, MAMA has been a huge part of my life since 2019.

It's been a passion project turned career, it has been a source of motivation, community, education, and inspiration, for me and countless others along the way.

We've morphed with the community, taken big leaps, and received allies and support from so many known and unknown friends.

We are here at our 5th and we are grateful to have made it this far.

Advocating for fair wages, more opportunities to perform and to learn, connecting the community, and building a meaningful resource has been at the heart of this mission.

We are here to empower musicians through education, collaboration, and performance opportunities in efforts to strengthen the greater Montana music community.

We've done that, and we'll keep doing that.

Please consider donating, sharing the link, following our efforts and attending our MAMA Family Jam Celebration on Friday, May 3rd from 5-8 pm at IImagine Nation Brewing!!

For the music, for the heart, for the people.

Thank you for helping us move forward.

With love,
MMaria Zepeda
