Forest Folk and Roots present John Emil Montagnino + support

Event information

John Emil Montagnino, an accomplished singer/songwriter, guitarist, and a master of slide guitar, has delivered show stopping performances at major music festivals like the Telluride Blues and Brews Fest CO, the Leek Blues & Americana Festival UK, the Florida and South Florida Folk Festivals, the Decatur Blues and Bluegrass Festival GA, the Bangor On Dee Blues Festival UK and the Zoetemeer Blues Festival in the Netherlands.

Equally adept with the acoustic Hawaiian lap steel guitar and Dobro, Emil first appeared on the South Florida music scene in 2000. Fans hear haunting, subtle hints of Delta bluesmen Son House and Blind Willie Johnson, but Emil ultimately creates a unique style all his own by integrating country blues, folk and bluegrass sounds into his repertoire.
