James Montez

US guitarist/singer In "The Chryslers", "Dance Committee" (Connecticut blues-influenced classic rock'n roll) After a youthful stint with B. Willie Smith, guitarist James Montez joined The Chryslers, the musical equivalent of the '65 New Yorker he's still driving. In 1986 he joined Dance Committee, a Connecticut blues-influenced classic rock'n roll outfit, in whose ranks he honed his craft in bars and ballrooms from The Big Apple to Block Island. In 1991 the earnest Mr. Montez went to work for himself, doing custom design work for other well-known New England guitarists and driving The Bandidos sound.
