About Tone Farmers
In the heart of Livingston, Montana, Tone Farmers sprouted from a simple truth: exceptional music requires both expertise and patience to flourish. We're a community-oriented independent record label committed to nurturing artists through every season of their creative journey.
Our Philosophy
Our approach mirrors the wisdom of Montana's agricultural heritage. Just as farmers understand that great crops need more than just good soil, we know that great recordings need more than just good equipment. We focus on cultivating artists who can deliver powerful performances that translate into compelling recordings.
Many labels focus solely on streaming numbers or social media metrics. We take a different approach. We invest in artists who demonstrate genuine performance ability and authentic creative voice. We look for musicians who want to grow not just as performers and recording artists, but as members of our broader musical community.
Growing Community
Beyond recording and releasing music, we're building a thriving ecosystem of live music in Montana. Through our intimate Homegrown Sessions, artists connect with audiences in meaningful ways. Our development programs help musicians grow both on stage and in the studio. Regular workshops and community events create opportunities for learning and collaboration. Through it all, we're strengthening the relationships that make Montana's music scene special.
Looking Forward
As we work toward nonprofit status, our vision extends beyond individual success to the cultivation of a vibrant, sustainable music community. We believe that by supporting artists who value both live performance and thoughtful recording, we can help create lasting impact in Montana's musical landscape.
