(PR) Daryl Hall's free webshow, Live From Daryl's House, has featured well-known performers like Nick Lowe, K.T. Tunstall and Gym Class Heroes' Travis McCoy, but the monthly performance series is always on the lookout for new talent. The ninth edition of the show features a Daryl discovery in Austin, TX-based acoustic guitarist and songwriter Monte Montgomery, who will appear with Hall from his New York home on July 15
"Someone sent me a clip of Monte performing 'Sara Smile' on YouTube," says Hall. "And I immediately asked him to come on the show to play it with me."
The Birmingham, AL, native, who now lives in Austin, TX, was named one of Guitar Player magazine's "Top 50 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" in 2004, and has been featured on the covers of Frets and Acoustic Guitar magazines, with nicknames that include "The Evel Knievel of Guitar" and "The Acoustic Shredmaster." His legend has spread after a widely seen appearance on the TV show Austin City Limits.
"This is quite an honor," said Montgomery. "I never dreamed I'd be playing 'Sara Smile' with the guy who wrote it."
The performance can be seen exclusively at www.livefromdarylshouse.com starting July 15th.
