Billy F Gibbons and Tim Montana
Friends Tim Montana and Billy F. Gibbons recently acquired the historic bar and hotel The Wise River Club in Montana that has been in operation for over 100 years. Montana and Gibbons have been making music and trouble together for more than 10 years. Recently, the two created the hot sauce line Whisker Bomb, which includes their Classic and Have Mercy Hot pepper sauces as well as Sweet Heat and Blanco BBQ sauces, plus Scorpion Garlic and Green Machine salsas.
Of the club, Montana shares, “Our aim is to give WRC patrons a true Montana experience with lodging, food, drink and music. It’s a place where guests can let their hair down and enjoy everything the Big Sky Country has to offer.“
“Tim and I have both played in quite a few honkytonks over the years so it’s high time to ensure Wise River Club’s place of history,” says Gibbons. “The entire club is something quite special and now the welcome mat has been definitively deployed. The Wise River vibe is perfect to share with the rest of the world.”
