Entertainment at the Lakefront Stage
Holly Montgomery
6:00pm – 7:15pm
Montgomery’s career spans nearly three decades, and in that time she’s wowed audiences as a frontwoman and toured internationally as the bassist for The Mustangs of the West. In the early 2000s, she made the radical choice to leave the industry to pursue another fulfilling path: becoming a mother. Subsequently she adopted three Kazakhstani teenage orphans through Kidsave International,. Additionally, Montgomery mines her experience as a mother with “For My Son,” featured on her forthcoming 2022 LP Sorry for Nothing.
Montgomery is a staple of the Mid- Atlantic live circuit, booking hundreds of gigs each year.
