Raised in the wilds near Butte, Montana, Tim Montana (yes, it’s his real name), entered the world as an off-the-grid thrill-seeker. He and his buddies would take to the nearby mountains to fish, hunt and raise hell as an escape from their rustic home lives — Montana grew up without electricity. Soon, however, he sought out a different high: the kind that only comes from performing live music. Eager to perfect the guitar playing he began when he was just 6 years old, he moved to Los Angeles to put his time in studying his craft.

Since then, Tim has released 4 studio albums (Iron Horse, Tim Montana and the Shrednecks, American Thread, Long Shots)  and toured extensively throughout the US.

  • Partnered with Gibson guitars to create a custom Chris Kyle guitar, decorated with Kyle’s skull-and-crosshairs logo. The guitar was auctioned off, raising $117,500 for the Guardians of Heroes Foundation.
  • Recorded 3 songs with ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, including “Fifty Fifty,” “Weed and Whiskey,” and “Rust and Red.”
  • Sang the Star-Spangled Banner at Fenway Park to celebrate the Red Sox World Series win.
