Meet Tim Montana, a true Renaissance man born in Kalispell, Montana, on January 5, 1985. Raised rough in Butte, he didn't let lack of electricity stop him from teaching himself to play the guitar by candlelight at age six.
Tim's a country-rock artist who's a full-throttle guy. He grinds through jobs like truck driver, marksman, and even a TV personality, all while being a dad. He's got real country roots and a DIY spirit that comes through in his unabashedly American, Tennessee-meets-Big-Sky-vibe music.
After moving to Los Angeles, Tim released his first album, "Iron Horse," in 2007, and later caught the eye of David Letterman, who had him on the "Late Show" in 2008. His music career took off, and he signed with Music Knox Records/BBR Music Group, releasing his major-label debut, "Long Shots," in 2021.
Tim gets hands-on with all sorts of stuff: smoking meats with grills he eventually became a spokesperson for, like Traeger. He's no stranger to entrepreneurship, building brands like Tim Montana's Vigilante Cigars and Ol' Boy Apparel, along with co-founding the band Whisker Brothers with ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons.
Tim found ways to connect with fans during the pandemic, becoming a social media influencer and using platforms to strike up partnerships with brands like Black Rifle Coffee. This approach helped him support his music career. He's also got acting credits, co-writing charting hits, and even jamming with big names like Kid Rock and Charlie Sheen.
In Tim's music, you'll hear the wild West, a full-tilt life, and his held-close-to-heart Butte roots. Whether he's performing, grilling, or just being his charming self, there's no off-switch in Tim Montana's tale.
