Editor's note

Dakota Moon, a Montana band with one big promise.

A folk-rock group from Bozeman, best known for the 1996 song 'A Promise I Make'.

If you want to hear what they were about, 'A Promise I Make' is the obvious one. 'Looking For a Place to Land' from their debut holds up, too.

They're mostly remembered for 'A Promise I Make,' which got big enough to cause a legal fight over its rights when the band ended. That song, along with album tracks like 'Looking For a Place to Land,' gives you a sense of their earnest, early-'90s folk-rock sound. It's a specific piece of regional music history that stuck around longer than the band did.

They started in Bozeman in the early '90s, putting out 'Eyes Wide Open' in 1995 and 'Promise Land' in 1997. After vocalist Marie Miller left in 2002, they kept going with others through albums like 'Spirit of the West' and 'A Place in Time' before disbanding in 2014.
