Welcome
Welcome to the website of MONTANA, a cookin’ little rock band from Edinburgh and its wild fringes.
The band has been together for around 10 years and comprises:
Leona rae - Lead vocals
Stevie Russell - Rhythm Guitar
Steve Phillips - Drums
Doug Ring - Bass Guitar & Vocals
Neil Gill - Lead Guitar & Vocals
Montana are a hard working covers band who specialise in a hea
dy stew of Rock, Soul and Blues. Formed around 10 years ago by Steve, Suzanne (now gone off to have a baby) and Stevie, the band has continued to mine a rich vein in its chosen genre as it has progressed.
Doug has played bass with the band since 2002 and makes sure that ‘the blues’ stays in the mix.
Neil joined in August 2006 bringing plenty of riffs with him.
Steve ‘Steady’ Russell makes sure everyone is loud enough while providing one hell of a rhythm.
Steve ‘on the one’ Phillips makes sure the band ROCKs! with his impeccable sticksmanship.
And, at the front of it all, our incredibly dynamic singer Leona Rae - Joining in late 2007 - Heatwave, Rescue Me: with her unmistakeable voice, she’ll certainly sear any song into your brain.
