Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Kristian Montgomery of Kristian Montgomery and the Winterkill BandIf this is the age of the outsider, Kristian Montgomery might be starting to fit in... but don't tell him that. Montgomery grew up poor, prefers to catch his own meals on the waters off Cape Cod and has always felt his music defies genre. A lack of belonging colors his worldview, and he wouldn't have it any other way. The battle between searching for common ground and accepting his otherness informs much of his songwriting. On his second pandemic release, Prince of Poverty (out 3/5), Montgomery and his winterkill band pursue an edgier sound than on last year's The Gravel Church, which was largely penned while he served out a prison sentence. http://www.makingascene.org
