Entertainment at President's Banquet
Rob Quist
Rob Quist, a rancher’s son and native Montanan, is recognized as one of the West’s best known songwriters, composers and main stage performers. In the words of Ruth Mills, Reviewer of the Reno-Sparks Tribune, “Quist keeps the audience enthralled—not just loud clapping and hooting but rapt attention to songs sung by a man deep into his music—the originality is astounding. His band is a combined musical talent bank putting together a sound unlike any other heard in Country Music today!”
Rob has toured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, and Japan, headlining in every major concert hall in America.
The Missoulian named Rob one of the Premiere Montana Musicians of the 20th Century and he was just recently inducted into the University of Montana’s Fine Arts Department Hall of Fame.
