Our second band playing at 6:00 (I ♥️ Neihart festival, music behind Bob’s Bar, Sept 6th) is The Last National Band. “The Last National Band was formed in the spring of 2025 in Great Falls, MT, by long time musical partners Dan McKay and Alan Korslien. Dan and Alan have been playing together since the early 90's as the duo "Blackbird", connected by their shared love of the Beatles and traditional bluegrass music, emphasizing tight vocal harmonies and unique song arrangements. After many years of talking about fleshing out a full band, we finally got with it last spring, and drafted two journeyman Montana players make that happen. Darin Lee joins us on drums and Grant Stebbins rips it up on base and vocals. Both Darin and Grant bring a wealth of experience to the group, and share the same love of these classic tunes. Come a take a listen, and trip back to some of the best music ever made. The Beatles and timeless rock classics, with a touch of "new-grass", The Last National Band will rock you!!” -Alan Korslien
