Comment
Waterfront Blues Festival
?A colossal vocalist, a superb guitarist, Monti left the audience in a state of shock - it was unbelievable! If you?ve heard the word then you know the big man is a must see.? - Gazette Des Gazzelles, France
?We?ve heard the future of blues and his name is Monti Amundson.? - Music and Media, Germany
When Monti Amundson gets compared to Stevie Ray Vaughan or Johnny Winter he just says thank you. But the fact is the big man has his own style. His influences range from the aforementioned and fellow Texas rocker Billy Gibbons to B.B. King and rock legends Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck. The blending of these styles in combination with Amundson's fine vocals is what makes him stand out from the crowd.
Above all Monti Amundson is a great live performer who gets his point across. Whether it's an acoustic slide number or an all out show stopper, Amundson knows how to move a crowd. Known to live out of a suitcase for years at a time, Amundson has made a great impression throughout Europe. In his home base Portland his music has been highly valued for almost twenty years. The blues of Monti Amundson comes straight from the heart, cuts through your soul and is as real as it gets.
