House Concerts/Village Hall shows the #1 priority

       House Concerts and Village Hall shows are my #1 priority over the coming months. I’m told we are in a recession, and people are staying in, or not traveling to Europe during this time. I have a theory. I think this will actually be good for shows over the summer…….particularly in the [...]

Upcoming tour news, and Crete

     Hey all, i’m working hard…..trying to stay focused. It is hard when you work from home and have a four year old wandering around with plastic sword……ever ready for a battle…..but I persevere.     
        In exactly a month from now I will be playing [...]

Top 10 late night driving songs

      I love to drive, listen to music, and zone out. At times it seems like the only time I can get away from the other distractions, and truly let my mind roam free. I particularly love driving at night.     
      Los Angeles is a great nighttime driving city…….especially when a [...]

One afternoon in Hollywood with Gary Jenkins

       On a recent trip to Los Angeles I was joined by my longtime friend, Gary Jenkins. He happened to be in LA to headline the Jon Lovitz Comedy night, and so we hooked up to hang out a bit.

If psychics can see the future……..

    If psychics can see the future………then how come they live in crappy neighborhoods with bars over their windows? Just a passing thought.

The most terrifying gig I ever did…..

         I was wrangled into this last week, and agreed. [...]

“Let’s All Go to California” video-The Making

     So, i’m having a beer at 12th and Porter with a longtime friend, George Flanigen. I asked him how much it would cost to get a low budget video made. He said about $2,500.
     A few months later he hooked me up with a young director named Neil Lisk. George donated film, [...]

“Another Long Story”-The Making of the video

After making the “Let’s All Go to California” video I was very interested in working with Neil Lisk again. He went back to England, and played the record for his friend, Paul Cotter. Paul is a young director as well, and he got excited about coming to Nashville to shoot a video on my behalf.

“Back in Baby’s Arms”-With a little help from my myspace friends

           My father, Bob Montgomery, wrote “Back in Baby’s Arms” for Patsy Cline. She was our next door neighbor in Madison, Tennessee…..where we lived when my parents first moved to Nashville. He was repairing tv’s during the day, and writing songs in our basement at night.
        I recorded it [...]

“True”-The Making of the video

     We shot this on the same day as the video shoot for “Back in Baby’s Arms”…………..Glenn felt like since so many people showed up that we should shoot a video for “True” as well. It actually ended up being his personal favorite.
