Easter Sunday is a great time for breakfast with the family and is one of the busiest mornings of the year for Butte restaurants. Looking to take part? Here are some places you'll find ready to serve you brunch in and around Butte this Easter Sunday.

To be honest, the prime rib or chicken cordon bleu along with a beautiful Montana spring weekend would be enough to get most folks off the couch and on the road for the short drive to the Wise River Club, but we'll have more on that in a minute. The big draw is that the boss man, Tim Montana will be back in town, guitar in hand, with his good friend and right-hand man Kyle Rife right beside him performing the songs they made famous and sharing the events, memories and emotions that inspired them.

The latest venture is not music, it is not real estate or business and it is not something that is for the faint of heart, either. Tim and Billy have something spicy brewing up and, as the kids say, it's the bomb dot com. Almost literally.

Behind hits such as the title track and top-tens "Die Today" and "Devil You Know" and support by, again, relentless touring with bands such as Seether, Creed, Halestorm and Skillet and work with legends such as Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains, Tim has found himself in an incredible year-end Top 5.

Tim Montana will make his much-anticipated musical return to the Mining City this Friday night and in true Tim Montana fashion, he is doing his part to give back to his town and his neighbors. Tim has teamed up with the Butte Arts Foundation and Mother Lode Theater along with Town Pump Food Stores of Montana to raise food, funds and awareness for Butte's Emergency Food Bank and Butte Rescue Mission.

Tim Montana is being considered for Grammy nomination in not one, but three categories, Best New Artist, Best Rock Song Performance for "Devil You Know" and Best Rock Album for "Savage".

For a guy who was less than an hour away from opening for two bands responsible for a big share of post-grunge 1990s and early 2000s hard rock, Tim Montana was relatively calm. No, make that incredibly calm. After all, no matter the size of the venue or the fame of the bands with whom he will share the stage, it was just another day at the office.

I think in my last article I mentioned the incredible week that Tim Montana is having. Thankfully I didn't say anything like "he'll never top this one". Because I have seen what Tim Montana is capable of. Or at least I thought I did. But even by Tim Montana's standards, this one is big.

It's just like Tim Montana to do something like this. In between opening dates with heavyweights Creed and Myles Kennedy, Tim has managed to remember his hometown with a date at Butte's historic Mother Lode Theater this November.

Yesterday I put up an article about Tim Montana being selected as an opener for the huge "Summer of '99" Tour's date this Monday evening in Bridgeport, Conneticut. The tour is headlined by 90's rock behemoths, Creed, and has been selling out arenes and amphitheaters since they hit the road late last Spring. A week ago, I had the absolute pleasure of attending their concert in Dallas, TX, and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. For any artist or band, this spot is a big damn deal.
