Ricky Montgomery

From the venue:

Music always lures Ricky Montgomery back. He blames the internet. First a devotee of the Vine underground, and now — nearly a decade and several jobs later — an unexpected hitmaker, the  Los Angeles native has spent the last few years trying to reconcile with his artist self. He  recently surpassed 1 billion global streams thanks to platinum indie-pop hits “Mr. Loverman” and “Line Without a Hook.” But those songs, written when he was a teen, have come to feel like they were by a whole other person — at least to Ricky. In 2023, we get to meet “Rick,” a  sophomore set that comes seven years later, rich with electro-laced, emo-tinged alt-pop that spins stories about life in all its messy and mundane glory.
