April 24, 2020 - During this time of shutdowns and social isolation, the Roosevelt Center, local performers, and musicians would like to reach out to create connections and strengthen the bonds that unite us by sharing some of the incredible local talents that live in the Carbon County community. In that spirit of sharing, here are a few videos created by our very talented friends and neighbors- from their home to yours. Enjoy!

Justin and Lisa Satterfield joined our community 5 years ago and have been rockin’ Red Lodge ever since. Their band Fracture is a favorite at many events and bars and their personal mix of contemporary rock and R&B sounds make them a versatile and powerful music duo. Justin has been touring and playing music since he was 16 and Lisa has been singing as long as she can remember so it’s no surprise that they sound so good together. The pair got together when Lisa met Justin bringing in her guitar and the rest, as they say, is history. They are the hosts of the Tuesday Night Jam Session at the Snow Creek Saloon and a staple of the Red Lodge music scene.

The Red Lodge Carnegie Library hosts weekly Winter Storytime & Craft and Summer Storytime in the Park, providing our youngest residents with a fun and interactive learning environment throughout the year. Storytime is so much more than the books, songs, and activities shared. Kids develop their imaginations, listening skills, and early literacy. For many, it is their first classroom experience. Friendships blossom for kids and caregivers alike. In this mini-storytime, Library Director Jodie Moore shares a book, activity, and song.
Red Lodge residents Sue Logan and Randy Tracy both play in the Billings Symphony, Sue as the principal oboist, and Randy as the Concertmaster.
