JAMIE DRAKOS

Jamie’s NW Honky Tonk

Growing up in Montana, I cultivated a love for traditional country music. I spent my high school years dragging friends to Arlee’s Mule Palace to revel in the music of classic country greats and dance our boots off. My passion for music of the Western range lives on – though I’m now a city girl.

While my performances are limited, I love to sing, play saxophone, and a little bit of keyboard with friends whenever I can.

Besides my interest in music, I’m a huge believer in community radio that gives a voice to our community: local artists, nonprofits and small businesses. And, I love being the host of Jamie’s NW Honkytonk!

In my professional life, I work as an evaluator, researcher and consultant in the fields of energy efficiency, health care, and social work.
