Bonnie Montgomery Releases New LP River Today On Gar Hole Records
With her brand new album, River, classically-trained opera singer turned outlaw country frontwoman Bonnie Montgomery nailed down the tricky task of incorporating her entire life’s musical influences into a beautiful, cohesive collection. “I’ve always been a multi-genre artist,” says Montgomery. “I have a classical background, but I’m a big fan of soul music and rock, too. Country music was the soundtrack of my childhood. All of that went into River. Making that album felt like the first time I could be me, sing my heart out, and not worry about fitting into any specific box. It was pure. It was freeing.”
