MY STORY
Born and raised in Blue Collar West Tennessee, Montgomery is a tried-and-true Honky Tonker who cut his teeth on music at the early age of twelve, singing with his church.
The spirit of music stayed with him from that point on and in 1999, Montgomery released his first album with Red Ridge Entertainment which achieved success with record sales.
He’s back with Red Ridge now recording new music and playing with his star quality band of revolving players known as Derailed.
"After my family, my music is my life. Whether I'm on stage, in the studio or in the shower my music is always there with me. My passion is to share my music with as many people as possible."
Funds from this re-release of my first album, "Take Me There", are helping me to complete my newest album which will be available for sale this spring.
I'm so thankful for your support. I believe in paying it forward so I will donate $2.00 from every sale to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
