Country singer John Michael Montgomery has been treating fans to his earnest, heartfelt music for over 20 years. With 18 million albums sold and 15 No. 1 singles, Montgomery has established a style rooted in his impassioned delivery, wonderful storytelling and rich baritone voice. A ticket to a Montgomery concert is like a chance to reconnect with an old friend. The singer tells stories and plays songs that span his entire career, from early hits like his 1993 crossover success, “I Swear,” through more recent tracks, like "Forever" and "Mad Cowboy Disease" off his 2008 album, Time Flies. He even throws in some more recent work, like his 2013 collaboration with Colt Ford, Ride Through The Country, which also featured Ronnie Dunn and Joe Diffie.
Montgomery’s career started back in the early 1990s, playing dive bars in his hometown of Danville, Kentucky, until the day Nashville came calling. With the release of his 1992 debut album, Life’s A Dance, Montgomery immediately rocketed into country superstardom, with a No. 1 hit, “I Love the Way You Love Me," which a considered a timeless country classic. He followed it up with "I Swear" and the whimsical "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)," which were the Billboard Country Singles Of The Year for 1994 and 1995, respectively. Montgomery also showed his serious side with powerful numbers like "The Little Girl," a song he wrote for his daughter, and 2004’s "Letters From Home," his tribute to the troops, featuring actual recordings of soldiers' messages to their families. Recent years have seen Montgomery slow down a bit, but he will be going on tour throughout the US in 2014 and has recently announced that new music is on its way.
Show its self was pretty good. Lady behind us talked non stop though instead of watching the show. Next time you want a night in the town talking about nothing , go to a bar instead of a concert. Don’t ruin it for the rest of us.
A great venue and an awesome show. There wasn't any theatrics, but it wasn't needed or necessary.
I have seen a lot of concerts and my niece and I drove from Cincinnati. I have to say, this was by far the best concert I have been to. Doesn't help that I love John Michael Montgomery!!!
Just too damn short Wanted more of him..also with as many people having to catch a shuttle due to parking lot full he should have waited a few before starting
The venue is amazing. The JMM concert was great. Great parking area and all the workers were so nice and accommodating. Will definitely return for more concerts. Very nice area.
The first show was good I had great memories from some of the songs that he did. As for Eddie Montgomery it was spectacular however we ended up leaving early as the volume was not balanced well. We were in section BB and it was double the volume that the first show was. But once we walked to the front of the arena it was much better.
They were so good! Would 1000% see again! Went off the vibe of the crowd!
Do not ever not see them in concert. Great show and wonderful songs!!
Loved his concert at treasure Island. Sound was great, seating was great. Length of show was good. He puts on a good show.
John Michael was great. Oddly he opened which makes no sense but he sang most of his hits and had the crowd engaged. Eddie Montgomery was not very good. It was clear most of the vocals were sang by Troy Gentry so he had his band singing. It just was awkward and not good. John Michael should be the headliner on that tour 110%.
