I had the pleasure of having renowned artist Kelly Roberti on the proGram today.

The album is a piece of art more so than a strict genre of sound…it fits into your ears like that final puzzle piece, you know..the one that feel under the table and hasn’t been seen in a while. We spoke on the beauty within the landscape of sweet Montana and how inspiration is sometimes made to wait by laws and ancient reGulation.
