Kevin Montgomery

Kevin Montgomery (born June 21, 1968) is an American singer.

Kevin Montgomery was born in Nashville Tennessee to parents Bob Montgomery, who was a songwriting partner and best friend of Buddy Holly performing together as the duo "Buddy and Bob" while teenagers in high school, and Carol Montgomery, who was a session singer for stars including Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan.

Kevin Montgomery's recording career began with his debut album "Fear Nothing" on A&M Records in 1993. He toured the US with acts including David Crosby and featured on a duet with Mary Chapin Carpenter on the 1996 Buddy Holly Tribute album "Not FADE Away" singing his father's composition "Wishing".

Kevin's track "I Won't Close My Eyes" was cut by Martina McBride on her double platinum selling "Evolution" CD in 1997.

Kevin also sang backing vocals on Lee Ann Womack's "I Know Why The River Runs" for her platinum selling album, "I Hope You Dance" in 2000.

2000 was also the year which saw Kevin release "Another Long Story". The video for the track "Let's All Go To California" was featured on the BBC TV programme TOTP2.

2001 saw the release of "Kevin Montgomery Live" recorded at Nashville's Bluebird Cafe, an acoustic live album featuring Robert Reynolds from The Mavericks

Touring in the UK extensively led to the release of the "Bootleg" album in 2002, recorded live from London's 12 Bar Club the previous year.

Building on the success of his touring, 2003 brought the third studio album "2:30am" which featured both Lee Ann Womack and Trisha Yearwood on harmony vocals and included Montgomery's touring band with added musicians.

Still touring successfully to larger audiences each year, 2005 saw the release of "Live From Glasgow!",

"True" is the newest album release, featuring Paul Griffith on drums, Shawn Byrne, writer of the title track, on guitar and Danny White on bass. Recorded in White's 16 Ton recording studios on Music Row in Nashville, the album showed a new departure with the extensive use of strings, expertly scored and performed by Chris Carmichael.
