Mike Montrey [Episode 158]
We recently had the opportunity to chat with NJ singer/songwriter/band leader Mike Montrey of the Mike Montrey Band. Although he was remote from his studio, his wall art made us feel right at home. We talked about the futile attempts to define the “Americana" genre and what that style and association with it means to him. We took a deep dive into his 2022 album - Searching For My Soul - and explored how his raw, honest lyrics connect with listeners. His rich storytelling opens up his world and invites others in to share his experiences in a deep and personal way.
Beyond that, we discussed his influences, where he came from, and how he wants his career to progress. Mike's connection to and admiration of Jeff Tweedy and WILCO have had a significant impact on him, and continue to inspire him to get his music in front of new audiences. Tune in to this latest podcast and enter the fascinating world of Mike Montrey!
