•John Michael Montgomery first performed in public at age five with his father’s band, which also featured his mother on drums. He was performing regularly on the local scene at 16 and at 17 became the lead singer of a group with his father and brother, Eddie of Montgomery Gentry, after his parents divorced.
•John Michael issued his debut album, “Life’s a Dance,” in 1992. The title track rocketed into the Top 5. Its follow-up, “I Love The Way You Love Me,” went to No. 1, while his 1994 release of “Kickin’ It Up” topped both the country and pop charts. A self-titled 1995 album also topped the charts and kept Montgomery’s hit streak alive with more No. 1 hits.
•Montgomery put out “What I Do the Best” in 1996. “Friends” and “How Was I to Know” both hit No. 2; “I Miss You a Little” was also a top 10.
•JMM has sold more than 10 million albums and scored 15 No. 1 singles, including 1994’s “I Swear.”
•Montgomery released “Time Flies” in 2008, his 10th studio album and first on his own label, Stringtown. The album yielded his first country Top 30 hit since 2004 with “Forever,” as well as the singles “Mad Cowboy Disease” and “If You Ever Went Away.”
•His last album was a 2009 Cracker Barrel compilation titled “For Our Heroes.” JMM is currently working on a live album set for release this year, which will also include a DVD documentary of him talking about the songs, storyteller-style.
•John Michael Montgomery was inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame earlier this year.
•John Michael Montgomery is teaming up with Eddie. The brothers will record an album as well as collaborate on a book about their lives, both of which they will begin working on this winter.
