Matthew Montgomery (by Matthew Montgomery)

North American born Matthew Montgomery makes music.  Recent behavior patterns include active pursuits with Gregory Howe, with Cass McCombs, with Will Sprott, with Rosemary Steffy, with Ro-Z Steffy and Colleen Johnson, with Greg Ashley, with Josh Allen, with Adam H. Stephens, with Hélène Renaut, with Calvin Keys, with Larry Coryell.

Near-future plans do not exclude, in no eminently significant order of importance, a solo tour of North American mastodon excavation sites, a semi-nomadic theatrical collaboration with (applying his protégé Bertolt Brecht’s celebrated Verfremdungseffekt to the music) Erwin Piscator (via Oujia board[?]), or a long overdue trip to the dentist.

Editors Note: Matt is featured most recently, before Neomythics, in the Wide Hive Players, and before that, in Variable Unit, and with Gregory Howe.
