What’s On
A contemporary singer/songwriter who earned an audience after becoming a social media viral sensation, Ricky Montgomery splices mellifluous melodies with emo melodrama, tying it all together with an earnest, quivering voice that’s somewhere between Owl City and Morrissey. Montgomery showcased this blend on ‘Line Without a Hook’ and ‘Mr. Loverman,’ songs that went viral in 2020, nearly five years after their initial recording. Warner offered Montgomery a contract in the wake of the sudden success of these old tunes, so the singer polished and streamlined his attack on the 2022 EP It’s 2016 Somewhere.
