“How Many People” was written by KORY MONTGOMERY at Smile More Studio in Denver, CO. It’s a swampy, funky horn feature, with hilarious connotations relating to multiple things in his life not progressing, regardless of multiple people attempting to fix the issues. This is the title track leading up to Kory Montgomery’s first album in several years, How Many People Does It Take?, coming out on October 9th. “How Many People” features Grammy winner Eric “Benny” Bloom (Lettuce) on Trumpet, Nate Miller (Thievery Corporation) on sax, Neal Evans (dopapod) on drums, and Will Trask (Andy Frasco) on percussion. With a voice that packs a punch and songs that tell nothing but the truth, Kory Montgomery is the real deal. His music has been described as a backwoods orgy of blues, funk and jazz fusion that leaves the listener drunk, horny and looking for a fight. Since the age of 15, when his band scored the opening gig for B.B. King, Kory knew that music was his calling.
Years later and with numerous recordings under his belt, Kory has continued down the path that brings him countless opportunities with some of the biggest names in the business. He has opened for Earth, Wind & Fire, JJ Grey & Mofro, Robert Randolph and the North Mississippi Allstars to name a few. He sat in with Billy Strings and The Infamous Stringdusters, and toured as the guitarist for Andy Frasco & The U.N. as well as The Blues Brothers Revue, directed by Paul Schaffer. Along with his one-of-a-kind live shows, Kory is releasing his first full length album in 10 years, featuring a collaboration of songs with many musicians he has worked with through the years…The collected cast features members of the Sturgill Simpson Band, Blind Boys of Alabama, Lettuce, Andy Frasco, Dopapod, Thievery Corporation and others.
