Monty Curtis Byrom (born 3 July 1958) is an American rock, blues and country guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer. He fronted bands Billy Satellite, New Frontier, and the Academy of Country Music nominated Big House. Earlier in his career Byrom co-produced and co-wrote hit songs for Eddie Money while a member of Money's band. Money had earlier covered Byrom's Billy Satellite song, "I Wanna Go Back." Later while leading the "soul country" band Big House, Byrom made a signicant contribution to the new Bakersfield Sound, with a nod to his Bakersfield roots.
In early 2007 Byrom was invited to join Buck Owens' band The Buckaroos at The Crystal Palace in Bakersfield, California, fronting the band one weekend a month. Byrom was born in Corpus Christi, Texas and raised in Bakersfield, California.[1] In addition to Eddie Money, Byrom worked with a number of other performers including Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, David Lee Roth, Rita Coolidge, Barbra Streisand, Brad Gillis, Don Felder, Timothy B. Schmit, and Johnny Van Zant.[1] He has also worked on many television and movie soundtracks.[1]
