Monte Montgomery
* Guitar Player Magazine named him as one of "The Top 50 All-Time Greatest Guitarists"
* Won the "Best Acoustic Guitar Player" award at the SXSW Festival’s Austin Music Awards seven years in a row!!
Monte Montgomery has taken the acoustic guitar beyond anyone’s expectations. His legendary reputation has spread like wildfire since he appeared on Austin City Limits. Since then countless articles have been written about Monte describing him as “The Evil Knievel of Guitar”, “Six Strings Attached To Dynamite”, “The Answer To The Fermi Paradox” and “The Acoustic Shred Master” to name a few. His fretwork is now the benchmark for acoustic guitar players. “An American Original”, there is no doubt Monte Montgomery is destined to become An American Legend.
In spite of all the “six-string notoriety”, Monte isn’t just a “guitar hero”, “shred master” or “guitar god” as he’s most often described. What sets Monte apart from all others is that he’s one of the most accomplished songwriters of our time, a remarkable singer and an extraordinary music arranger. Many of Monte’s fans attend his concerts simply to hear his compelling vocals as he delivers his finely penned songs powerfully and passionately. To some, his incredible guitar pyrotechnics are simply an ad-dition of tasty icing topping off a delicious cake.
Monte’s latest release "Monte Montgomery" (Emminent - 2008), available on CD and on-line versions is a double barrel treat offering fans a visual dimension of Monte’s incredible power packed live performance recorded Live at WorkPlay Theater in Birmingham.
