Bio
Originally from Columbia, South Carolina, Jack Montgomery began studying guitar at age thirteen. He now plays guitar, bass, banjo, harmonica, mandolin and Appalachian dulcimer. Jack played his first professional gig in 1967. He then formed a band known as Crossfire with two of his high school friends. Crossfire appeared on several local television programs and regularly played gigs in and around Columbia and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina until it dissolved in 1971. During his college years, Jack pursued his interest in music. He worked as a solo performer in Best Western Hotel lounges until 1977. After college, he played with several acoustic groupings in South Carolina and Virginia specializing in "ole time" and folk music. Jack retired from music in the 80s and 90s until he joined the folk band Lost River, performing from 2000 to 2005. He performed in a duet with fellow musician, Graham Hudspeth, called Shadowdancer until April of 2009. He now continues to perform with his wife Lesley and other friends in the folk band Watersprite. Jack's music has been featured on several college and Internet radio stations nationally and internationally, as well as on the WBKO Bowling Green television program Mid-day Live and the PBS/KET show Mixed Media. He regularly performs locally in the Bowling Green area and also in Hopkinsville and Louisville, KY, French Lick, IN, Clarksville and Nashville, TN. Jack lives in Bowling Green and makes his living as an academic librarian and Professor at Western Kentucky University. Jack released his first musical CD entitled "Onward to Avalon" in 2002. Over 800 copies of "Onward to Avalon" have been sold worldwide. His second CD, "Everywhere I Look," was released in 2004. He and Graham recorded a CD as Shadowdancer in 2008, entitled "Tradition with a Twist." Jack's fourth CD, "Watersprite," was released in June 2011 and is selling well on Cdbaby.com, the largest selection of independent music on the web. Musically, Jack is interested in Celtic and contemporary folk music. He writes his own songs and poetry, and he has a passion for discovering older traditional material and giving it a new musical life with new arrangements. -
