Since his first jaw dropping performance on Austin City Limits in 2009, Monte Montgomery has embarked on an almost fantasy-like rock and roll roller coaster ride filled with dizzying accomplishments and mind blowing accolades. 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.” His unusual style of guitar playing, creating sounds from acoustic guitars that sound as if they’re being created by electric guitars has won him fans from coast to coast.
Still, despite the six-string notoriety, Monte is not content to rest on his musical laurels. He continues to cement his place as not just some blazingly electrified acoustic guitar playing freak of nature, but also a rare and true triple threat; songwriter, singer and master musician. Monte has released 12 records, including a live album recorded at the now-defunct downtown Fort Worth club Caravan of Dreams. His latest album is titled A Call to Arms.
These accomplishments are quite a distance from Birmingham, Alabama, where Monte learned to play piano and trumpet before moving to Texas. It was his eventual move to Austin where you could say he earned his musical baccalaureate from that city’s highly competitive music scene, earning him seven consecutive Austin Music Awards. That led to the growth of his dedicated fan base, critical acclaim, and an ever-growing touring circuit in the U.S. and Europe.
