Biography
Nathan Montgomery is a passionate and aggressive acoustic guitar player with such a crazy style of playing that makes every performance musically and visually brilliant! Influenced by an array of musicians, he has fused many styles including blues, funk, jazz, rock, and fingerstyle to create an original sound. The mood ranges from a hungry rage to a sensuous romance, tapping into every emotion in between. This one-man band plays with a fierce intensity, bending and pulling, banging and tapping, plucking and strumming the guitar, stretching both the instrument and him. The music is polyphonic; including melody, harmonic progressions, bass lines, as well as percussion all performed simultaneously without the use or loops or overdubs.

his Dad at the age of 9. Since then he has participated in numerous school
band programs ranging from elementary to high school. After years of practice,
and awarded a full scholarship, Nathan attended Wayne State University,
