“Right after they uncovered the [mixing] console, there was a heavy downpour that blew in really fast, that blew out the console and the amps,” Ryan Creek Meadows co-owner Keli Hansen told the Missoulian. “You know how it is here in Montana – sometimes you get a rain that’s coming at you from three directions – and this one just blew in really fast and I guess it managed to affect the equipment, even though it was all covered up.”

Ryan Creek Meadows is a 200-acre site that began hosting concerts last year.
