Danny Montana And The Bar Association

Show:
Sunday, February 19, 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Bay Area native Danny Montana blames his affinity for country music on a Columbia Record Club error that sent him George Jones’ Greatest Hits instead of the Kinks’ Greatest Hits when he was 12 years old.

Danny has deep roots in Marin’s music history. He carried his guitar everywhere throughout high school at Tam, and in the late ’60s, joined the Hereford Hartstringers bluegrass band.

The Hartstringers opened regularly for legendary Marin bands Clover and The Flying Circus at Brown’s Hall, the Lion’s Share, and other Marin and Sonoma clubs. Danny was a regular at Huey Lewis’ infamous “Monday Night Live” sessions at Uncle Charlie’s in the 70’s.

His band Danny Montana & The Bar Association includes fiddle, pedal steel, Telecaster, bass and drums, featuring the fiercest of local players. The band covers everything from Charlie Pride to Ray Price and Johnny Paycheck to John Prine and most of the rest of the classic country alphabet, as well as a catalog of previously unrecorded songs from Danny’s Nashville songwriter friends and associates – some of the best stuff you’ve never heard.
