The BelAirs
Bbest dance band around!
Fronted by brothers Dick and Dave Pruitt on bass and electric guitars, with Michael Cherry on drums, the BelAirs play a danceable mix with an authentic but eclectic bluesy-country-soul-and-rock-n-roll sound influenced bythe likes of Wilson Picket, Slim Harpo, Howlin' Wolf and Johnny Cash.Performing together for more than 20 years, the Pruitt brothers' harmony vocal style sets them apart in the contemporary music scene--leading one reviewer to refer to them as the "Everly Brothers of Blues". David's "big guitar" and Dick's howling vocals over soulful, right-on rhythm playing make this trio a powerhouse

Monte Montgomery
Acoustic/Rock/Indie
Monte Montgomery has taken the acoustic guitar beyond anyone's expectations.
With his amazing fretwork, unique combination finger and pick style playing through trailblazing "chordal" thoroughfares often baffling even the most accomplished players. While Monte remains a huge enigma in the guitar universe, his legendary reputation has spread like wildfire since he appeared on Austin City Limits. In 2004 Monte was named on Guitar Player Magazine's list of "Top 50 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time" and in 2005 he was featured the Covers of "Frets" and "Acoustic Guitar" magazines. Countless articles have been written about Monte describing him "The Evel Knievel of Guitar", "Six Strings Attached To Dynamite", "The Answer To The Fermi Paradox" and "The Acoustic Shred Master" just to name a few. Monte's fretwork has become the benchmark for acoustic guitar players. "An American Original", there is no doubt Monte Montgomery is destined to become An American Legend.
