TULSA, Okla. (Aug. 5, 2025) — With his string of country hits, undeniable talent and rich baritone tunes, John Michael Montgomery is wrapping his farewell tour with a final Oklahoma performance at Hard Rock Live inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa on Saturday, Dec. 6, at 8 p.m.

Montgomery rose to fame with his breakout hit “Life’s a Dance,” which paved the way for his successful musical career spanning over three decades. Known for his ability to connect with fans, Montgomery has delivered countless top hits, including “Sold,” “I Swear,” “I Love the Way You Love Me” and “I Can Love You Like That.”

Born in Danville, Kentucky, Montgomery’s musical roots run deep. Raised in a family where music was a way of life, he perfected his craft alongside his brother Eddie. His natural talent and dedication caught the attention of Nashville talent scouts, leading to a record deal in the early ‘90s and a series of hits that solidified his place among country music’s elite.

Montgomery has earned several accolades, including the CMA Horizon Award, CMA Single and Song of the Year, Billboard’s Top Country Artist, a Grammy nomination and ACM’s Top New Vocalist.

Throughout his career, Montgomery has remained grounded in his close connection with fans. He continues to grow his legacy, delivering heartfelt stage performances and signature hits.
