Montgomery Gentry with Steel Magnolia at The Palace - November 6th!
99.5 WYCD is thrilled to welcome back to the Motor City, TWO of the hottest duos in Country Music today! Montgomery Gentry is coming to The Palace of Auburn Hills on November 6th with special guests, CMT's Can You Duet winners Steel Magnolia! 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.
"We've never sold out to anybody," says Eddie Montgomery, whose soul-stirring baritone and 19th-century outlaw look have become iconic among country's rowdier fans. "What you see with us is what you get."
"We've always been consistent about choosing songs that deal with the working class, songs people can identify with," adds Troy Gentry, whose piercing tenor and classic good looks provide the perfect counterpoint. "We've stayed true to that."
With straight-forward lyrics reflecting the realities of modern life, a tour and stage show completely inclusive of their audience and a gritty rock edge, Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry's world is one of blue-collar anthems, tales of life, work, love, loss and patriotism all balanced by a hard-playing spirit. True to form, watch Montgomery Gentry's hit "Roll With Me!"
Steel Magnolia’sJoshua Scott Jones and Meghan Linsey are igniting crowds with their on-stage charisma, and off-stage the duo is every bit as much a team. For nearly three years, as boyfriend and girlfriend, Joshua and Meghan have shared their passion for music together, and it all began with—ironically—a song! “I was performing here in downtown Nashville in a Karaoke bar and this guy came in and was sitting there watching me sing,” recalls Meghan. “I could tell he was interested in me by the way he was looking at me. And then he requested a song. Soon after, he started coming up to sing on stage with me, and the first song we sang together was—don’t laugh—“All Out Of Love” by Air Supply!” As their love blossomed, so did their writing abilities: the pair spent every spare moment honing their songwriting and performance skills. Over the next two years, as they struggled to pay the bills, Meghan working as a Karaoke waitress and Joshua working countless odd jobs including a cook and valet, the trials only strengthened their resolve to pursue their dream of music together. That path led them to the CMT CAN YOU DUET auditions, and the rest we now know, is history in this moment.
