Eddie Montgomery in Richmond

Eddie Montgomery is an American country singer from Danville, Kentucky, best known as one half of Montgomery Gentry. The duo’s plainspoken, Southern-rock-edged country produced songs including “My Town,” “Hell Yeah,” “Something to Be Proud Of” and “If You Ever Stop Loving Me.” His solo work includes the album Ain’t No Closing Me Down. Brooks & Dunn’s 2001 Neon Circus & Wild West Show took Montgomery Gentry to arenas across the United States. The duo joined the Grand Ole Opry in 2009, adding its Nashville stage to a schedule that also included theatres, casinos, fairs and country festivals. After Troy Gentry died in 2017, Eddie Montgomery chose to keep touring, performing the Montgomery Gentry catalogue in his solo concerts.
