Montgomery Gentry has captured a large following with their “what you see is what you get” mentality. Their accolades include gold and platinum albums, CMA and ACM awards, a Grammy nomination and sold-out tours. The duo’s new collection, the aptly titled Rebels On The Run, brings Montgomery Gentry fans back to the beginning, but with a fresh attitude. Produced by Michael Knox, who has helped build Jason Aldean to superstar status, Eddie and Troy’s latest effort will likely be remembered as their best album thus far in their decade-plus history.
Son of a former University of Missouri basketball star who later got drafted to the NBA by the Cleveland Cavaliers, Trent debuted his first single, “Drunker Than Me” in 2005 which was followed by his album Country Is My Rock. “Drunker Than Me” peaked on the U.S. Country chart at #19. “One Wing in the Fire” hit #11 on the chart, the highest position of his career in 2006. Trent Tomlinson’s debut album Country is My Rock produced three Top 40 singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. He just released a new single under Skyville Records, “A Man Without A Woman.”
The REACH Foundation was founded by Mark and Wendy Wilson in 2000 to help children in need – physically, socially and financially. Today, the primary mission of The REACH Foundation is to reach out to young people in need and to provide programs to improve their environment. The Foundation’s mission is simple, If in only one life, make a difference….. for more info please visit thereachfoundation.org
