I've been part of more events I can count, from planning them to assisting on committees and Renee has run the best event I've ever seen. SUPERIOR leadership, coordination and execution behind the scenes. I was filming both backstage and in the audience so I also got the experience as a concert goer and it was equally magical. Everything ran smoothly, the volunteers were well coordinated and knew their role and the whole experience was a pleasure to be part of. I will be back next year to film Centerfest and highly recommend Renee as an event coordinator for any music festival or other event someone may need assistance with planning and coordinating.

Show promoter Renee Rummans was a true pleasure to work with... She was organized, thorough, and went above and beyond to take care of us not only on show day, but also while we were in town a few days after the show. [Stone City] provided us everything we needed on stage and off, and treated us to some great food and fun conversation as well. We were paid on time and in full. Lewistown is lucky to have [Stone City] in the community. I am looking forward to working with [them] again, hopefully in the near future.
Kevin Garcia
Manager at The Steel Wheels, Percussionist, Composer & Producer
Renee, with Stone City, has done a fantastic job bringing in top-quality performers and putting on shows that are engaging, intimate, and highly professional. These concerts contribute to the cultural vitality of Central Montana. I can’t wait for the next one!
Katie Spika
CEO, Spika Design and Manufacturing and owner of Azimech
I have worked with Renee and her team on a number of events held at Jack's Hangar, our private event venue in Lewistown, Montana. Every experience with Renee has been great. Her attention to detail and unwavering commitment to quality have been impressive and have resulted in a number of successful events. When working with entertainment professionals, I have seen nothing but complete satisfaction. Renee obviously understands the needs of band members, sound professionals and setup crews. Finding the balance between the various artists and support teams is always difficult, but she seems to understand it and makes things happen in a positive manner. Most importantly, the audiences have been afforded awesome events. Our facility caters to smaller, more intimate shows that tend to require great attention to attendee experience. Renee and her team have always managed to find a way to end the night with both the audience and the entertainers thrilled with the show and venue. I confidently recommend Renee and Stone City

I recently worked with Stone City for a concert in downtown Lewistown, Montana and arrived to a sold out songwriter showcase. The hospitality started the moment I checked into the historic Calvert Hotel and continued for the next 24 hours until I drove away. The sound engineer was ready way before we were, listened throughout the performance and then made necessary adjustments as needed.

Playing in Lewistown was a unique and wonderful experience. We felt so welcomed by the community. That community connection is what creates the magic of a show, and takes music to a different level.
Lauren McShane
Portland Cello Project
Our performance in the unexpectedly elegant and unique airplane hangar was one of the highlights of our tour. The audience was incredible – so excited and enthusiastic that we were really inspired to give our best.
Diane Chaplin
Portland Cello Project
The hangar was a surprisingly good sounding space, and we were treated like family. The room was packed with a captivated, appreciative audience. Playing at this Lewistown venue made a special night for all of us.
Alex Milsted
Portland Cello Project
Come fly with me! Classic cars! An ice cream bar! Ample space, high ceilings, heated floors. Am I in Area 51 or a concert hall? The space, the owners, the staff, and attendees exuded charm and hospitality. The sound was fantastic and the appreciation was mutual between the band and the audience. I wouldn’t hesitate to perform there again at the earliest opportunity!
