Band Members: It's just me at the moment, flyin' solo on my current CD. I've spent many years in groups and this current effort is all me, in the raw, writing, playing, performing, and recording all by myself...'the full Monty' so to speak.
Monty: Rhythm Guitar, Bass Guitar, Lead Guitar, Hammond B3, Korg Triton Work Station (synth), Lead & Backup Vocals.
A new band is in the works, be sure to check my blog for more info. Any interested musicians in the Bend, OR area looking for a gig...Give me a shout!
Influences: Just a few of the many…
Rock - The Beatles, The Byrds, Rolling Stones, (Just about all the ‘Brit invasion’ groups), Roy Orbison, The Rascals, Vanilla Fudge, The Doors, Moody Blues, Procol Harum, & Buddy Holly.
Country & Rockabilly- Carl Perkins, Chet Atkins, Chris LaDoux, Duane Eddy, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Kris Kristofferson, John Denver, George Strait, Garth Brooks, and Toby Keith.
Blues - (all the ’Kings’) BB King, Albert King, Freddie King, Johnny Winter, The Allman Bros, Roy Buchanan, Eric Clapton, Albert Collins, Jimi Hendrix, and SRV. So many artists, so many styles, so little time or room to list them all! I haven't even gotten to the R&B stuff!
Sounds Like: I'll give the generic answer..."Me". You be the judge. ;)
