Montana rings in new year at Long Jetty Hotel

Montana Southern Country Rock and Blues Band will front the New Year’s Eve celebrations at the Long Jetty Hotel from 8.30pm on December 31.

This will be a free performance, with prizes for the best dressed country folk.

Montana was founded by Central Coast Local vocalist/songwriter Jane Stewart-Kemble and guitarist/vocalist Dan Granero.

Both are proud Australian musicians who have toured the country and Europe for many years with their own successful careers.

Each has had vast live performance, touring and studio experience.

Granero has released successful albums worldwide that have charted on the ARIA and European charts.

Montana performs well-known classic and modern covers in southern country rock style from artists such as Johnny Cash, Chris Stapleton, Gretchen Wilson, Willie Nelson, Elvis Presley, Slim Dusty, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Allman Brothers, ZZ Top and many more.

Also in the band are Ricky Conning (bass guitar), Luke Mollica (drums), Brett Tierney (drums) and Steve Heard (piano/Hammond organ).

Montana has started to gain a solid following on the Central Coast and in the Hunter and has played venues to their full capacity.
