MONTGOMERY GENTRY (Nominated for Vocal Duo of the Year.)
Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry first banded together in their native Kentucky and worked the club circuit until word of their dynamic performances reached Nashville. Columbia Records signed the high-powered duo and released two Gold and two Platinum albums. The 2000 CMA Vocal Duo of the Year has performed live for millions of people and has earned fan acclaim and critical respect on par with their heroes in Country's fabled Outlaw movement. Since the release of "Hillbilly Shoes" in 1999, they've had eight Top 5 singles, including the No. 1 hits, their fastest-rising "If You Ever Stop Loving Me" and "Something To Be Proud Of." With an extensive touring history, Montgomery Gentry joined the Brooks & Dunn "Neon Circus & Wild West Show" in 2001 and Kenny Chesney's "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems" tours in 2002 and 2003, before assuming their own headline status. The recent release of Montgomery Gentry's Something To Be Proud Of: The Best Of 1999-2005 collects the hits that have built one of Country Music's present-day most storied careers, a career that continues to grow at breathtaking speed. Montgomery Gentry's current single is "She Don't Ask Me To."
