About Billy Montana

Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Billy Montana’s talent for tapping into powerful emotions in the songs he writes has led to a string of hits and awards for him and some of country music’s biggest stars. Montana’s “Number 1” credits include Garth Brooks’ record-breaking single “More Than A Memory,” Sara Evans’ smash “Suds in the Bucket,” the Grammy-nominated “Bring On the Rain,” recorded by Jo Dee Messina with Tim McGraw, and his most recent chart topper “Hard To Love,” the title cut from Curb recording artist Lee Brice’s 2012 CD.

Country radio is not the only place you’ll hear Montana’s compositions. ABC’s hit television series “Nashville” picked up “What If I Was Willing,” a song Montana wrote with his son, Randy, and country rocker Brian Davis. The song played a major role in the script for the 2013-14 season, was performed by both Sam Palladio (Gunnar) and Chris Carmack (Will), and appears on the Music of Nashville (Original Cast) soundtrack for Season 2.

Artists who’ve had great success with Montana-penned songs, including Garth Brooks, Sara Evans, Jo Dee Messina, Lee Brice, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Martina McBride, Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, David Nail, Sister Hazel, Lee Ann Womack, Kellie Pickler, Trace Adkins, BlackHawk, Kenny Rogers, Pat Green, Bill Anderson, Randy Montana, Guy Penrod and many others.

CJ Solar

With the fuel of both Southern rock and country music influences pumping through his veins, it’s no surprise that CJ Solar is a natural at fusing the two worlds. Combine that with Delta blues, compliments of a childhood spent in Cajun country, and you’ve got one badass up-and-comer, with the pure musical talent and vocal chops to back it up. Already turning heads throughout Nashville, Baton Rouge and beyond, having been named one of the“New Artists You Need To Know” by Rolling Stone Country, Solar says the driving force behind his untimely success isn’t fame nor fortune – it’s just a diehard infatuation with the music he grew up on.
When not out touring the country headlining his own shows and opening for such artists as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Jr and Gary Allan, he continues to write and record. He’s released 3 EP’s and 2022’s debut full length “The Future’s Neon” comprised of songs he’s co-written. He’s also penned songs for artists such as Jason Aldean, Jerrod Niemann and Justin Moore, while also writing number one singles for Jameson Rodgers with 2020’s “Some Girls” and Morgan Wallen’s breakout hit “Up Down” featuring Florida Georgia Line.

Ethan Anderson

Ethan Anderson is a wordsmith from Eastern Kansas, who made the move to Nashville at just 19 years old. He crafts stories in a way that is somehow unique and relatable, and he’s quickly becoming known for his meticulous lyricism. He’s able to pull inspiration from a depth of life experience that’s rather uncanny for someone his age. From jail, to rehabs, to homelessness, and ultimately to health and success through the healing power of Jesus Christ and country music, Ethan Anderson is a true Nashville story. A story of redemption, and hope. Of faith and resilience, and learning through suffering. The type of story that could only happen somewhere magic fills the air.
