Logan Dudding is a local musician whose second album will be released next week.
That, though, might not be the most interesting thing about the former undersized Butte High offensive guard. The Montana Tech graduate works for the Department of Environmental Quality, and he has a keen understanding of the environmental cleanup in the Mining City.
Logan has also been a long-time worker and board member of the World Museum of Mining in Butte. If you time it right, he might even lead you on a tour into the mine shaft at the museum.
While he will undersell his knowledge on the subject, you will not find a 39-year-old with more of an understanding of Butte history than Logan, who started playing drums when he was a young boy. His first lessons were from the great Butte musician Ken Rich. He was then one of the youngest — and them most tenured — members of the Montana Tech Alumni band, then under the direction of Dr. Pete Knudsen. He played in a handful of bands, including one with fellow 2003 Butte High graduate Tim Montana.
On Thursday, Oct. 17, Logan will hold a release party for his new album, “Inscrutable,” at the Covellite Theater. There, you can buy his album C.D. form. It will also be available anywhere you stream your music.
Don’t forget to pick up one of Logan’s promotional air fresheners, too.
Doors open for the party at 6 p.m., and the show starts at 7. Because music has never been about the money for Logan, the show will be free.
Listen in to this podcast to hear as Logan talks about his work and his days at the Mining Museum. Listen as he talks about his passion for music and the meaning of some of his songs.
