Ronan Musicians Co-op hosts open mics and jams

The Western Montana Musicians Cooperative (WMMC) focuses on bringing songwriters, musicians and performing artists together through a shared love of music, while providing a place to rehearse, grow and connect with others to form bands, grow a musical enterprise, or transition from amateur to professional.

The co-op is hosting weekly events in the Mission Valley through open mic and open jam nights for both performers and audience members. The WMMC is open to all ages and also offers educational workshops such as songwriting, pedal maintenance/configuration and more. Most events are free, but donations are appreciated from non-members.

Members provide music weekly at the Ronan Cooperative Brewery. Upcoming events:
