Contests

If you made it down to Sheridan for the Rockin' the Railroad festival this weekend, hopefully you ran into our Hawk "Roadie for a Day", Vince Grew. Vince was hanging out backstage on Saturday and here's what he told us. "I had a blast...

We just scrounged up an extra pair of Paul McCartney tickets. If you can make it to Missoula tomorrow, here's how to win 'em. The contest is called "Last Comment Wins".  Head over the Hawk's Facebook page and leave a comment.  We have selected a secret time, some time today, for the contest to end...

Congrats to Drew McDowell, the winner of our McCartney-oke contest.  Drew received over 54% of the 31,000 votes cast.  With all due respect to the other 10 entries we received, Drew really deserved it.  He can really sing and the Beatles shrine was a nice touch...

Organizers of this weekend's Richard Dreyfest Music Festival sure know how to promote a show.  You can't go anywhere in Billings without seeing pictures of the legendary actor they named their festival after (for no reason at all, other than that fact DreyFUSS and DrewFEST sound similar)...

Here's your chance to take home a huge prize pack celebrating Ace Frehley's forthcoming album 'Space Invader.'

Saturday night, I made a quick stop to the Rainbow Bar in Downtown Billings to get a pack of cigarettes.  As many of you know, the Rainbow doesn't mess around when it comes to mixed drinks.  They've got the cheapest, stiffest drinks I've ever seen at any bar in the country...

Thanks to all the Hawk rockers who joined us yesterday at Tiny's Tavern for the Paul McCartney ticket giveaway.  Melissa Anderson was the winner and she'll be headed to Missoula for the big show on August 5th. Even though he didn't win, we want to give an honorable mention to the coolest pizza delivery guy in Billings...

Ultimate Classic Rock and Friday Music are giving away 15 Johnny Winter albums on vinyl.

UPDATE: Sunday from 5 pm to 7 pm, the Hawk has your last chance to win Paul McCartney tickets. Sam Talkington will be rockin' live at Tiny's Tavern on 4th Avenue and 24th Street.  All you have to do is show up and sign up.  If we draw your name, you're going to the show...

We're now exactly two weeks away from Paul McCartney's sold out show in Missoula. If you don't have tickets yet, and you can't afford to scalper prices on StubHub, we've got 3 chances for you to win 'em. Of course, submissions for our McCartney-oke contest continue through Sunday...

It's Tuesday and that means I'll be headed over to the Grandstand after work for our weekly round of Hawk Bar Trivia. Every week, a bar full of rowdy rockers match wits for free bar tabs.  This week's categories are:  Midgets, Montana Residents, TV Moms and Motorcycles...

Congrats to Hawk rocker Vince Grewe, he's the big winner in our Roadie for a Day contest.  Next weekend, he'll be hanging out backstage with Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick and all the other bands at the Rockin' the Railroad Festival in Sheridan, Wyoming...
