IN THIS EPISODE

What happens when a local band starts getting noticed beyond its hometown?

For The Lost Junction Band, the answer is Nashville.

WKRP Montrose sits down with the rising Grand Junction country rock group for a conversation about music, family, ambition, and what it's like watching a local dream start to become something much bigger.

The band is preparing to travel to Nashville for the Josie Music Awards, with networking and industry events leading up to the awards ceremony. It's a major opportunity for a group that has been building its following right here in Western Colorado.

But Nashville isn't the only thing on the horizon.

Dennis and Rob talk with the band about their local shows, their growing fan base, and the possibility of eventually taking their music to a much bigger stage—including a hopeful prediction that Red Rocks could be in their future.

And then there's the Montrose community.

The band will be performing at the Olathe Sweet Corn Festival, giving locals an opportunity to see them live before their Nashville adventure. Their music is available across major streaming platforms, while some of their newest merchandise is available exclusively at their shows.

As the band jokingly points out, supporting local music isn't just about buying a ticket. Buying a shirt, sharing their music, showing up at a show, or simply telling someone about the band can help local artists keep moving forward.

Because someday, you might be able to say:

"I saw them when they were playing Montrose."

The one thing listeners will take away: Big dreams don't always start in big cities. Sometimes they start on a local stage, with a group of people willing to work hard, support each other, and keep showing up.
