James Montgomery and Kevin Burt

Two true blues artists — James Montgomery and Kevin Burt — are taking the stage at Provincetown Town Hall on Saturday, April 13 for a Payomet Road Show that no blues fans will want to miss!

James Montgomery has been an iconic figure in blues music for more than 40 years, as an accomplished blues harpist, singer, frontman, bandleader and composer– and he’ll co-headline the evening with Kevin Burt, who for more than 25 years, has been electrifying audiences throughout the Midwest dispelling the myth that true blues has no roots in Iowa. 

It is said that when blues legend James Montgomery plays the harmonica, he “brings it on home.” Whether it’s recording with Kid Rock, sitting in with Gregg Allman, or fronting his hot band of thirty years, Montgomery plays with authority. While growing up in Detroit he, learned first-hand from the masters – James Cotton, John Lee Hooker, and Jr. Wells – at the legendary “Chessmate.” Over the years, he’s carried on in the tradition and continues to be a vital presence in Blues as one of the most dynamic performers on the scene.

Kevin Burt’s soul-inspired performances are unique, which consistently gets him compared to a range of artists like Bill Withers and Aaron Neville, with the ability to build an audience rapport that has been compared to B.B. King. Burt is a musician (vocals, harmonica, and guitar) whose smooth, warm vocal presentation and humor audiences of all ages seem to enjoy. Two of Kevin’s primary influences are Bill Withers and Aaron Neville and he has the ability to build a great rapport with the audience with his soul-inspired presentation and natural stage presence.
