About Monty
Lead Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Monty Warren put his rock 'n' roll dreams on hold to support his mother for 20 years. Then, in 2007, Warren played a demo for Terry Anderson & The Olympic Ass-Kickin' Team (Battleship Chains, I Love You Period), and helped him make his first record, Trailer Park Angel. Various well known musicians from the Raleigh, NC and Florida area have also contributed to the success of the music and its roots rock. Other well known musicians such as Catlin Cary(Whiskeytown),Rick Richards(The Georgia Satellites and Ju Ju Hounds),Ian McLagan(The Faces) also made contributions on his next releases. Monty has 4 albums (plus two Singles "Tips n Tricks/Sweet Tooth - Circle the Wagons/Living in the Dark) out: "Trailer Park Angel", "Let's Go to Therapy", "Far Out Close Up." and his latest release "Life of Crime" !
He also released two albums together with German singer Phil Wolff.
"Two Badasses" and "Slapback Backslap" as War-Wolff.
Articulating the musical signature of Monty Warren necessitates a journey that transcends the traditional boundaries of musical categories. His oeuvre defies simple classification; while one could lazily default to "Roots Rock," such shorthand woefully undersells the breadth of his artistic range.
Envision a harmonious interplay where Tom Petty's earnest heartland rock meets the raw edge of Keith Richards' guitar- centric force. Enrich this distinctive fusion with Wilco's trailblazing indie sensibilities and NRBQ's exuberant, genre- blending panache, then season with the candid lyrical rawness of Paul Westerberg.
Monty Warren's music thrives within this complex web of inspirations, eluding narrow genre descriptors. This synthesis of different styles is vividly apparent in his latest offering, "LIFE OF CRIME." The album stands as a confirmation of Warren's finesse in melding these varied influences into a cohesive and engaging narrative-showcasing the art of musical storytelling in its most sophisticated and affecting form.
