Walker Montgomery: A Rising Star of Country Music
Walker Montgomery is a rising country artist with a name steeped in musical tradition. Following in the footsteps of his father, country music legend John Michael Montgomery, and his uncle, Eddie Montgomery of Montgomery Gentry, Walker is carving his own path in the genre.
Raised in Nicholasville, Kentucky, Walker’s passion for country music burned bright despite growing up away from the spotlight. Now, with a talent that matches his family’s legacy, he’s taking the industry by storm.
Signed to Play It Again Entertainment and produced by the powerhouse team known as The Peach Pickers (Dallas Davidson, Ben Hayslip, and Rhett Akins), Walker brings a classic country sound with a modern twist. His honey-bourbon vocals shine on his self-penned debut hit, “Simple Town” (over 4 million Spotify streams!), and continue to captivate audiences with subsequent singles like the high-energy “Like My Daddy Done It” and the soulful “Saving For A Rainy Night.”
Walker’s dedication is evident in the countless hours spent in the studio, honing his craft and crafting music with lyrical honesty and integrity. His sound seamlessly blends country’s rich history with a fresh perspective, ensuring his music resonates with listeners across generations.
“I want my music to stand the test of time and connect with people no matter who they are,” says Walker. “The one thing I learned from my family is to stay true to yourself, and that’s the driving force behind everything I do. It’s why I get up every day – to make them proud and continue the family legacy, but also to forge my own path in country music.”
