Mike Montrey Band

Mike Montrey Band weaves an evocative blend of Americana and Rock & Soul into songs rich with emotional depth and musical sophistication. Led by Mike Montrey, whose gritty, expressive vocals and dexterous guitar playing define the band's sound, this New Jersey-based ensemble has captivated audiences with its compelling narratives and vibrant performances. Montrey, a seasoned songwriter, infuses his music with lyrical introspection that explores life's profound themes—love, time, and mortality.
The band's dynamic sound is augmented by a group of skilled musicians, including Jen Augustine's back porch harmonies, Jack Stanton's haunting pedal steel, drummer Santo Rizzolo's steady rhythmic beats, and bassist Anthony Duca's deep grooves. Together, they create music that resonates with the soulful undercurrents of traditional Americana while embracing a modern, eclectic flair.
With a catalog that reflects a journey of artistic growth and collaboration, including works produced by Grammy-winning names, Mike Montrey Band has not only left a mark on the indie music scene but also crafted a sound that is enduring and passionately authentic. Their latest project, Love, Time & Mortality, is a testament to their continued evolution and heartfelt storytelling.
