Music always undoubtedly brings us closer together. The connection forged runs as deep as any family bond does. Similarly, the story of Tonic revolves around the longstanding, close brotherhood shared among members Emerson Hart [vocals, guitar], Jeff Russo [lead guitar], and Dan Lavery [bass]. Since 1996, the GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum trio has consistently delivered anthemic and undeniable rock fashioned from eloquent songcraft, lyrical honesty, and unshakable melodies.
As the story goes, Emerson and Jeff linked up together in Los Angeles as Tonic during 1994, with Dan joining the group in 1996 They released their platinum full-length debut, Lemon Parade, followed by the single, “You Wanted More,” which served as the lead-off from the platinum Original Soundtrack Album for American Pie and Tonic's second full-length, Sugar
In between a marathon of touring, they released Head On Straight in 2002 The single “Take Me As I Am” received a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal” as the album vied for “Best Rock Album ”
After a five-year hiatus, the three-piece returned to the charts on the heels of Tonic in 2010 To honor the 20th Anniversary of their debut release, they re-recorded the seminal Lemon Parade acoustically for 2016’s Lemon Parade Revisited.
“The songs keep us around,” smiles Emerson. “We love seeing the excitement in fans’ eyes. We’re all connected. When we play, it’s a moment where we all feel something together.”

You might catch Eddie Montgomery taking a quick glance at an empty space beside him when he and The Wild Bunch take the stage to play the expected duet hits as well as tunes from his brandnew and mostly raucous solo debut “Ain’t No Closing Me Down.”
By tragic circumstance a solo artist, Eddie always feels the presence of Troy Gentry, his honkytonking partner back to the days they played for beer or a chunk of flesh at a pig roast near their eastern Kentucky roots
“I think he’ll have a blast with it, man, ” says Eddie of his late partner “I think he’s a part of it already I’m sure he’ll be with me ”
The man who is always “with” Eddie on stage and immersed in the soul of his first solo album is his long-time partner, Troy Gentry, who died Sept 8, 2017, in a helicopter crash that could have put a tragic end to Montgomery Gentry sound Except Eddie made a promise that the MG sound would go on: Which, at its heart, is what this new album is all about
ACROSS THE WIDE opens the show!
Rowdily honed in honky-tonks and at parties in their Kentucky homeland, Montgomery Gentry rocked to stardom in 1999 with propulsive collection “Tattoos & Scars ” Over the next 18 years, the duo had 20-plus charted singles, collected CMA, ACM and Grammy nominations and awards with such unsubtle, blue-collar rallying cries as “Hell Yeah,” “My Town” and the irrepressible “Hillbilly Shoes ”
Grand Ole Opry members since 2009, MG also belong to the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame, where they join the likes of Bill Monroe, Tom T. Hall, Skeeter Davis, Lionel Hampton and Eddie’s brother, John Michael Montgomery.
The last name on that list – “John Boy,” as Eddie refers to his brother – was with the other two young men when they tore up roadhouses and pig roasts, following the career path carved out by the Montgomery boys’ dad and his outfit, “Harold Montgomery and Whatever You Wanted To Call It ” The heart of that outfit: Harold on guitar and mom, Snookie, on drums “Me and John Boy were roadies,” says Eddie “We seen a lotta things in honky-tonks The bartenders were our babysitters, and we moved around a lot I must’ve had my mid-life crisis by the time I was 8 ”
“I’m happy where I’m at ” And part of the reason for that happiness is that he always has his best friend to lean on: “Troy is always with me. He helped me write this album with my heart and soul.” Eddie continues describing how this new album was birthed after he knew it was time to go on as the M without the G. “I was just wanting to wait until it felt right for me, and when it come to me in my heart, with Troy and myself.
“Ain’t a day goes by that I don’t think of him,” he says “We made a promise, a deal, way back when It was over Jim Beam It was: If one of us goes down, we want Montgomery Gentry to go on Keep the music going We were a honky-tonk band, and he’s with me, and he’s always going to be ” He smiles “We were together so much, we finished each other’s sentences and everything,” a brotherhood that remains in his solo billing: “It’s always going to be ‘Eddie Montgomery of Montgomery Gentry.’”
