Marion Montgomery and Glyn Denham
Tonight's concert will be professionally recorded


Late News Flash from Debbie Montgomery:

If you want to hear a little something, something sweeter than Valentines candy, come listen to some soulful blues sounds, Americana folk, and train songs when Marion Montgomery & Glyn Denham play at No. 3 Railroad Street on Saturday, February 15, from 6:00 - 9:00. Donations for the house and band accepted. BYOB, & BYOF also if you're hungry, though Mary usually sets out a few snacks so no one goes without. Mark Maxwell will be capturing the show with his mobile recording studio, but nothing beats being there live. Marion will bring almost all of his guitars including the steel and his new Gibson. Glyn's harmonicas, dobro, & resonator will be working their harmonious magic. The entire 2nd set will be railroad ballads and travelling tunes.


Although they grew up not far from each other - one in Crawford, the other in Winterville - Marion Montgomery and Glyn Denham met for the first time in a car on their way to play live on the radio. Once the guys got to the station and got out their guitars and harps, it was time to play and they immediately started riffing off of each other. That musical bond has lasted for decades.

Together they play a blend of blues, ballads, and Americana twinged with a bit of old-style country. Marion is best known for his slide, his steel guitar, and his voice. Glyn uses dobro, guitar, and harmonica to cast a musical spell. He plays with several bands including, presently, Driftwood and the Ain't Quite Ready to Playboys. Marion usually performs as a solo act or with Glyn or as a duo with his daughter, Maribel Montgomery Anderson. He has opened for Taj Mahal, John Hammond, and Ronnie Earl.

Montgomery and Denham gave great performances at No. 3 Railroad Street on April 20, 2019, August 28, 2021, November 20, 2021, October 22, 2022, May 27, 2023, September 23, 2023 February 17, 2024, June 22, 2024, and, also playing a set with Janet and Dennis Smillie, very recently on January 18, 2025.
