Monte Montgomery is a triple threat, not merely a soulful singer and accomplished songwriter, but a true virtuoso on his beat-up electrified
acoustic guitar. Winner of the Best Acoustic Guitarist award in the Austin Music Awards seven years straight (1998-2004), Monte was voted as one of
the 50 Greatest Guitarists of all time by Guitar Player Magazine in 2004. His unique brand of aggressive pop-rock takes listeners by surprise, and people watching his energetic live performances for the first time have been known to say, "Who is this guy, and why haven't I heard of him before."

Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Monte learned to play guitar in the Hill Country of central Texas after following his mother, Maggie, when she moved there while he was in his teens. After years fronting various rock bands in the San Antonio area, he moved to Austin in 1990 to concentrate on his own original music. Monte's first big break big break came in 1999
with his electrifying appearance on Austin City Limits. Musical influences range from Mark
Knopfler and Lindsey Buckingham to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Lee, Steve Vai, Steve Morse and Larry Carlton.

Monte's group of devoted fans are affectionately known as Montiacs. Montiacs are a special breed of fans, willing to travel untold distances
to see Monte in action. They are dedicated to spreading the music to "Monte Virgins" everywhere. Monte rewards his fans by being accessible to them as much as possible. From signing autographs after a show to posing in photo after photo whenever asked.
