Monty Holmes

In 1983, Monty took the plunge and moved to Nashville, to a job as a respiratory therapist to pay the bills, but he also worked diligently as a staff writer and singer ondemo recordings. Through his demo work, Holmes quickly gained a reputation for his voice, but it was songwriting that he really loved. Throughout the years, Monty has worked with and learned from the best:Whitey Shafer, Hank Cochran, Glenn Martin, Don Sampson, Donnie Kees, Tony Mullins, Gerry House, Kent Blazy, Leslie Satcher, Scotty Emerick, Al Anderson, Norro Wilson,Wynn Varble, and Buddy Cannon just to name a few.
Holmes has penned several hit songs for George Strait, including the chart topper “I Know She Still Loves Me” and the top five “When Did You Stop Loving Me,” as well as “What I Do the Best” for John Michael Montgomery and “Never Again, Again”, Lee Ann Womack’s debut single.
He has cuts by ClayWalker, Neal McCoy, Laura Bryna, the legendary Johnny Bush and George Jones. Holmes is currently an ASCAP writer, but is a multiple BMI “million-air,” an honor for writers of songs with over 1million broadcast performances.
Monty is writing better now than ever before. He has the  the title cut “Troubadour” on George Strait’s CD of the same name. Not bad. Not bad at all!
