Montgomery Gentry to share their country roots with fans at Treasure Island
Duo to perform Friday, September 18

Red Wing, Minn. (August 27, 2009) – Montgomery Gentry has stayed true to their country roots and millions of fans have followed their path to fame because of it. Montgomery Gentry’s journey into the front ranks of American music has been one of the greatest stories of the past decade. Their road to gold and platinum albums, CMA and ACM awards, a Grammy nomination and highly successful tours has been paved both with musical integrity and with an abiding respect for the people and the genre they represent.

Very few entertainers have identified so closely with their fans, and seldom has the respect and affection run so deep in both directions. They share blue-collar outlooks; sunup-to-sundown work ethics; rootedness in God, country and family; and the ability to celebrate life and endure hardship. It is a relationship few other artists in the often volatile world of show business can claim.
Now in their 10th year on the national stage, Montgomery Gentry can look back on one of country’s most impressive legacies. They have released more than 20 charted singles, with anthems like “My Town” and “Hell Yeah” becoming indelible parts of the honky-tonk landscape. They have hit the top of the singles charts three times, with “If You Ever Stop Loving Me,” “Something To Be Proud Of” and 2007’s multi-week chart-topper “Lucky Man.” And now, with the release of “Back When I Knew It All”, they have taken the next big step forward. In June 2009 they were inducted into the Grand Old Opry for their accomplishments in country music.

Montgomery Gentry will perform in Treasure Island’s new 3,000-seat Island Event Center. Every seat in the house is within 125 feet of the stage, giving the entire audience an intimate experience with this legendary country band. The acoustics and Elacoustics Linerray V-Dos Sound System, not found at any other casino in Minnesota, and two 14 by 24-foot retractable video screens offer guests an unparalleled concert experience.
