Montgomery Gentry Comes to the Warner, 9/28

By: Kelsey Denette Aug. 31, 2012

On Friday, September 28 at 8pm, Montgomery Gentry will perform at Torrington's Warner Theatre.

Montgomery Gentry's journey into the front ranks of American music has been one of the most gratifying sagas of the past decade. Their road to gold and platinum albums, CMA and ACM awards, a Grammy nomination and highly successful tours has been paved both with musical integrity and with an abiding respect for the people and the genre they represent.

Now in their 10th year on the national stage, Montgomery Gentry can look back on one of country's most impressive legacies. They have released more than 20 charted singles, with anthems like "My Town" and "Hell Yeah" becoming indelible parts of the honky-tonk landscape. They have hit the top of the singles charts three times, with "If You Ever Stop Loving Me," "Something To Be Proud Of" and 2007's multi-week chart-topper "Lucky Man."

Eddie and Troy were named the CMA's Duo of the Year in 2000, and received that year's American Music Award for Favorite New Artist--Country, the Academy of Country Music Award for Top New Vocal Group or Duo, and the 2000 and 2001 Radio & Records Readers' Poll award for Top Country Duo. The duo has performed for well over a million fans, both as headliners and as part of Kenny Chesney's "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems" tours in 2002 and 2003, and the Brooks & Dunn "Neon Circus & Wild West Show" in 2001.

Through it all, they remain one with their fans. Their rootedness can be seen in the fact that they are still playing with the band they had in their honky-tonk days. It's part of what keeps them honest. The duos latest CD, Back When I Knew It All, continues their tradition of connectedness as it restates their position as the honky-tonk poets of their generation. In 2011, the duo released their seventh studio album, Rebels On The Run.

Tickets are $49.50, $59.50, $100 and can be purchased by calling the Warner box office at 860-489-7180 or online at www.warnertheatre.org.
