Halladay & Rob Quist - Full Concert
On Friday, Mat 3rd, Halladay and Rob Quist joined us for a lunchtime show on our press floor. The father-daughter duo shared love letters to Montana and a few puns; their family talent spans across generations.
Singer-songwriter Rob founded the Mountain Mission Wood Band and has had his songs sung by Michael Martin Murphy and Loretta Lynn. He has appeared with musical acts Heart, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Jimmy Buffett, and Dolly Parton, among others.
When Halladay — a music talent in her own right — and Rob aren’t crooning a country melody with trio partner Clara Weick, they’re acting in movies, playing shows, and creating a plan to bring more music to Montana children.
