Monte Montgomery has been named one of the “Top 50 All-Time Greatest Guitar Players” by Guitar Player Magazine, he’s been called everything from “guitar-god” to the “answer to the Fermi Paradox”.  Still, despite the six-string notoriety, Monte is not content to rest on his musical laurels. “I’ve resisted temptation to be just that guitar gunslinger from Austin, Texas,” says Monte. “I strive to have more depth, to be more layered as an artist, songwriter and singer.”  The end result, in a day of homogenized, digitalized, and processed music, is that Montgomery stands out as a welcome and refreshing throw back to the great pop rock records of the past.  Rich singing and songwriting performances backed by his mind-boggling guitar work.  Ironically, it’s the cover of another rock pop classic that has brought Monte a high profile fan base and has opened up new doors.  After seeing Monte’s version of “Sara Smile” on YouTube, Daryl Hall (Hall & Oates) was so blown away he invited Monte to be the featured artist on Live From Daryl’s House, the popular web-based music show. “Monte Montgomery blows people away. There is no other way to describe it.” – Terry Lickona, Austin City Limits Monte Montgomery will perform at the Uptown Art House on Friday, July 13 from 7pm to 9pm.  Ticket sales will be announced soon.
