Event Overview
John Michael Montgomery has turned an uncanny ability to relate to fans into one of country music’s most storied careers. Behind the string of hit records, the roomful of awards and the critical and fan accolades that have defined his phenomenal success lies a connection that goes beyond his undeniable talent and his proven knack for picking hits. Since the days when “Life’s A Dance” turned him from an unknown artist into a national star, John Michael’s rich baritone has carried that most important of assets–believability. Few artists in any genre sing with more heart than this handsome Kentucky-born artist.
John Michael’s origins lie in deceptively modest beginnings. He was born in Danville, Kentucky, to parents who imparted a lifelong love of music.
“Where most people have chairs and sofas in their living rooms,” laughs John Michael, “we had amplifiers and drum kits.”
Since 2008, The Pat Watters Band has blazed a trail through the upper Midwest to develop and amplify a new voice in country music. A voice that reflects and represents the Wisconsin lifestyle. Along the way, they've headlined fairs, festivals, and local taverns. They've opened for some of our heroes. They've played shows that sold out, and shows that barely sold. But mile by mile, stage by stage, and crowd by crowd... they've found "their people." And they've found them.
