Eddie Montgomery, half of the duo Montgomery Gentry, continues to build on the performing legacy he built with former bandmate Troy Gentry, who died in a helicopter crash in September 2017.

Montgomery Gentry’s signature style of country with southern rock influences has enthralled fans since the band’s inception in 1999. The duo was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2009.
