Songwriter Series: Mike Montrey Trio + Sean Ryan
Mike Montrey arrives into Boonton Coffee Co. with his trio to share his signature Americana/rock sound off his latest album, Searching for My Soul, produced by two-time Grammy winner Marc Swersky. His sound is at the crossroads of where Americana, Folk, and Soul converge to be sung by a true singer-songwriter, with blissful harmonies courtesy of Jen Augustine. New Jersey Stage writes: “Soulful, pretty, bittersweet harmonies. Heartwarming, spine rattling, bone chilling duets. The sense of hope that inspired the title, will surely inspire listeners.”
Sean Ryan // Warming up the night will be Sean Ryan, currently of NY State by way of Connecticut. Armed with melodically crafted songs, a voice, guitar and a heart on his sleeve, Sean Ryan delivers memorable acoustic rock songs that get stuck in your head for days. With influences spanning from The Beatles & David Bowie to U2 & Wilco, Sean believes in a simple song with a complex message. Sometimes melancholy. Sometimes arena rock ready. But always smothered with a heavy dose sticky sweet melody.
