Because I Can In Montana

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Due to numerous comments I have received from readers, I felt it was important to add this disclaimer.  When written over 2 years ago , this was accurate.  However, as with everything there is change.  For some it is good, for others it is annoying.  THE SKYLINE HAS CLOSED since this was written.

New ownership, new attitude, new food and new entertainment adds up to
Great Falls newest establishment!

Sitting high on Gore Hill is one of the best places we’ve found in Great Falls!  No longer 22,000 Square feet of empty building…  it is now home to one of the greatest places to go for food, fun and entertainment in all of Great Falls!   Old Skyline opened up it’s doors on March 11, 2009 to a full house! We were there two of the three nights of opening weekend.  I immediately knew I loved the place and wanted to photograph and write about it.  Owner Jennifer Gruber and Business Partner Billy Johns were kind enough to allow me to take some pictures one morning in April.  Knowing this would be the only time that the place wasn’t packed, I took advantage of this opportunity so I could share the actual beauty and craftsmanship of  Old Skyline.  I have placed them in the photo Gallery.

When you walk into the main level, the first thing you notice is an enormous horseshoe bar.  It reaches out 50 feet for a full 100 foot horseshoe bar. There are 11 50″ HDTV’s on the main level providing a variety of sporting events for your entertainment.   Read More

Come join Noah Peterson and myself at Walker’s American Grill! I’ll be making a special guest appearance, playing a few tunes during the evening. Guaranteed to be an excellent night of fine food, drinks and music!

Tanner Cundy, a Cornish-born, left-handed, upside-down guitarist and singer will make you forget all about Marshall Stacks and Fuzz boxes. Join them for a great night of music, beer, fun, good friends, dancing and more! This acoustic duo is making waaay too much music for just TWO guys. Don’t miss it!

Hi – This is Bill, writing for Karen today…I was in Hamilton, Montana, over the last couple of days, and stopped to have dinner at the Bitter Root Brewery (fish and chips to die for, and the beer was, as always, killer!). I got the opportunity to check out the Tanner Cundy Band. Very glad I made that stop!

How can I describe them… Kinda Dave Matthews meets Crowded House. Tanner Cundy is a Cornish-born, left-handed, upside-down guitarist and singer will make you forget all about Marshall Stacks and Fuzz boxes! Tonight, Tanner was playing with a very accomplished sax player by the name of Noah (The pride of Billings) Peterson. They do a lot of very good original material, and when they do a cover, they really make it their own, which is a nice touch. They did a very good cover of ‘Message in a Bottle’, slowed way down to the point that the song takes on a real haunting quality. Haven’t heard a version of  Message done that well since I heard Sting do it for “The Secret Policeman’s Other Ball” back in the early MTV days. They also did very cool Tracy Chapman and Bruce Hornsby and the Range’ covers’.

They just released a 5-song CD called ‘King and Queen’. In fact, I’m listening to it right now. Definitely worth the couple of bucks to pick it up when you see the band (It’s also available for digital download at Tanner’s MySpace page, http://www.myspace.com/tannercundy, and at tannercundy.com.

They’re playing at Bert & Ernie’s in Great Falls Friday night, and then it’s on to Billings for 2 nights, playing at The Railyard Ale House Saturday night, and then at Walker’s American Grill (It’s a Special Guest Appearance) before moving on to Idaho, and then home to Portland, Oregon.

I’m still groovin to the CD… See you there at Bert & Ernie’s
