Jill came by her profession naturally; she is the daughter of Hank and Lori Franzen owners of Powder River Rodeo, LLC. Jill began doing sound and music as a summer job working for her parents. In 2003, Jill’s Sound was formed and now provides sound and music for over 30 professional events a year. Jill is a 2005 graduate from the University of Wyoming in Business Administration. Her degree and family background provides her with knowledge and professionalism making her one of the best rodeo sound and music directors. Jill’s personality coupled with her perfectionism makes her a big hit at any rodeo.

Jill is very easy to work with and is successful at making any rodeo a sensation! Jill’s goal is to enhance rodeos with great sound and music, but never to compete or take over the rodeo. She is very proud of the fact that she provides sound and music for some of the best rodeos in the world and is always asked back! Jill married PRCA top 5 Bullfighter of the year, Brandon Loden in April 2015. Together they have a 6yr son Holden Henry Loden and 13yr old son Kaden Loden who travel the country with them. When Jill’s not traveling with Jill’s Sound she enjoys spending time with her family and horses.
