Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Billy Montana’s talent for tapping into powerful emotions in the songs that he writes has led to a string of hits and awards for some of country music’s biggest stars.
Montana’s "Number 1" credits include Garth Brooks’ record-breaking single, “More Than A Memory”, Sara Evans’ smash “Suds in the Bucket”, and the Grammy-nominated “Bring On the Rain”, recorded by Jo Dee Messina.
As a recording artist, Montana's album No Yesterday was recognized by USA Today, which characterized him as "a wonderful songwriter." Country Weekly described his music as "a common man's wisdom voiced in an uncommon manner."
Montana draws heavily from his rural background for inspiration, resulting in music that is refreshingly eloquent, simple and honest. “You can’t just wait for inspiration…my job is to say things that have been said a million times in a way that they’ve never been said before,” says Montana.
Most recently, Montana showcased his writing skills in Garth Brooks’ record breaking single “More Than a Memory”, which entered the Billboard and R&R charts at Number One. “I don’t think in my lifetime, I will ever be part of something like that again. Everything just had to work perfectly for something like that to happen,” says Montana. Scott Borchetta, President of Big Machine Records said, “This is a song they’ll be playing for the next 20 years.”
