Stolen Roan Will Be Featured on Friday at the Fair

Based out of Miles City, Montana, Stolen Roan is a musical group known for playing anything from street dances to weddings and fundraisers to concerts in Eastern Montana and beyond. They will be the featured band at the Blaine County Fairgrounds following the Bear Paw Roundup PRCA Rodeo on Friday, August 12.

The band's website describes them as "taking influences from a variety of genres. The boys of Stolen Roan put on a high energy show that can flip from country classics to Red Dirt to Southern Rock in a flash."

In the story of the band's formation, Stolen Roan started with a card game that led to a recording project and then another. Those early days were followed by a couple break-ups and "a really weird performance" that brought the final piece of the band together. Now, Cj Desjardin (percussion and vocals), Jake Elwood (vocals, bass, rhythm guitar), and Rich Ruland (lead guitar and vocals) comprise a three-piece country, rock, and Americana band known as Stolen Roan.

Promising to play music that "folks of all ages and backgrounds can groove to all night long," Stolen Roan melds Cj's punk drumming roots, Rich's shredding guitar licks, and Jake's smooth baritone vocals.
