Western Skies has been described by some as a country rock band, a wild country band, and a band that plays everything. Western Skies is no doubt a party band. With more years combined experience than its oldest listener. Band leader Mark Longie put his years of experience to work, putting together one of Montana’s elite groups of musicians, to please all walks of life.

Don’t be surprised if you hear everything, from Hank Williams classics, new country from The Zac Brown Band, Old Crow Medicine Show, Toby Keith, Brooks and Dunn, and Big and Rich, to ripping’ rock and roll like Poison, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, and Green Day. We play it all!!!

Western Skies consists of 4 very talented musicians. Mark Longie, Lead vocals, guitars, mandolin, and yes, he manages the band too! Jeff Lilly vocals and bass guitar, Jim Swenson vocals and lead guitar. Clayton Damjanovich Drums and Percussion.

We’ve played from the smallest bars, to large concert venues. The members of the band have opened for major artists, such as REO Speedwagon, Neal McCoy, Tracy Byrd, Hal Ketchum, Sawyer Brown and Western Underground!
